Giannis Antetokounmpo not being able to change a diaper had Mariah once worried
While much is known about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s professional life, not many of his fans may be aware of what the player gets up to with his loved ones. Having been a father to three kids now, one would have assumed that the 29-year-old player would have known most of his fatherly issues. As it turns out, that was initially not the case.
It was only a few weeks ago when a documentary titled ‘Giannis: The Marvelous Journey’ started to make the rounds of the internet. The same featured Mariah revealing an incident that occurred when she and the player went to a birthing class. Giannis, who reportedly was eager to learn everything he could, ended up outright asking “Yeah, how do you change a diaper?” during the class. Mariah admitted that, at that moment, she felt that she was in “trouble” since the incident revealed that her fiancée had zero knowledge about this important task.

With a fourth baby possibly on its way, one would assume that even if Giannis hasn’t learned the art of diaper changing by now, then he quickly should.
