Antetokounmpo’s first son, Liam, wasborn on Feb. 10, 2020.

Shortly after his 1st birthday in 2021, Liam attended hisfirst Bucks home gameto cheer his dad on in person. Since then, the 5-year-old has watched Antetokounmpo play plenty of basketball: He sat courtside during the 2021 NBA All-Star game and was in the arena when the Bucks won the NBA Championship later that year.

Despite Antetokounmpo’s successful basketball career, the Bucks star has made it clear that he would do anything for his son. Hetold Bucks announcer Jim Paschkein May 2021, “If my son asked me, ‘Dad, when are you going to retire and play more with me?’ I’d retire right now.”

On June 22, 2022, then-2-year-old Liam joined his father, mother, little brother and uncles at the premiere ofRise, a Disney+ Original film about the Antetokounmpo family and their journey to becoming the first trio of brothers who are NBA champions.

Maverick Shai, 3

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger welcomed their second child together, son Maverick, on Aug. 18, 2021.

Three months after Maverick’s arrival, the parentsorganized a diaper driveto celebrate his birth and give back to their community. “Becoming a mom made me realize how expensive basic needs for babies and children are,” she wrote on Instagram. “Diapers, wipes, food, etc. should be accessible and affordable for all families. I realize that I am privileged and fortunate enough to be able to afford those basic needs. With that privilege, I believe it is also my duty to give back and help other mothers and families provide those basic needs for their children.”

Maverick may be young, but he’s already joined his brother at Bucks games and on the red carpet. (He attended theRisepremiere with his family at 10 months old!)

In October 2022, the family of fourdressed up as Paw Patrol charactersfor Halloween, with Maverick as Marshall and older brother Liam as Chase.

“Rehab with a lot of Mav, Paw Patrol and shooting 🤎,” the basketball player wrote on Instagram alongside a series of photos with his toddler.
