Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Wife Extends Support to Khris Middleton’s Spouse at a Special Ceremony: “So Proud of You”

Khris Middleton was the key ingredient alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Milwaukee Bucks‘ 2021 championship run. However, he has not been the same since due to injuries that have plagued him for the last couple of years. Through his highs and lows, one thing that has been constant in his life is his wife’s unwavering support. Middleton married his long-time girlfriend, Samantha Dutton, a while ago. Not much is known about Samantha since she prefers to keep their private lives out of the public eye.

However, Samantha, a preschool teacher, community advocate, and youth mentor, recently achieved a new milestone in her career. And Mariah Riddlesprigger, Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s wife, took to Instagram to celebrate Samantha’s achievement alongside her.

Giannis’ wife celebrates Samantha’s new feat

Khris Middleton and Samantha have reportedly been in a relationship since 2016. While the exact date of their marriage remains undisclosed, they tied the knot before their first child, Audrielle, was born on April 23, 2019. Subsequently, the couple welcomed a baby boy in 2021. Samantha, a teacher by profession, pursued her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Oakland University and has recently expanded her educational pursuits by earning a master’s degree.

Yesterday marked a significant accomplishment for the wife of the 3x NBA All-Star. She graduated with a Master of Science in Cultural Foundations of Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Giannis’ wife, Mariah, took to Instagram to express her happiness and admiration for Samantha’s recent accomplishments with a video of Samantha walking across the stage. She wrote in her story, “Okay Mrs. Middleton!! So proud of you. You’re an amazing friend and mama!!! Love you.”

In another Instagram story, Mariah posted a photo of a booklet containing the names of graduating students. Among them, Samantha was the only one graduating from her course, which earned an enthusiastic caption from Mariah, “ONE of ONE.” While Giannis’ wife is extending her support to Middleton’s wife, the Greek Freak, on the other hand, has sights set on surpassing Middleton’s franchise record.

Giannis eyes another record to break

Giannis has been on a tear this season. In a recent victory against the Indiana Pacers, the 29-year-old recorded a franchise-high 64 points. However, after achieving this impressive feat, Giannis is eyeing another record to break. A record that is currently held by his All-Star teammate Khris Middleton. The 32-year-old is the leading all-time franchise three-point scorer with 1281 three-pointers. In a recent IG post, Giannis took a friendly swipe at Middleton as he wrote, “Hey @k_mid22, I’m coming for 3’s next.”

Giannis sits in the 7th spot on the list right now with 504 3-pointers. Do you think he’ll be able to compete with Khris any time soon? Let us know in the comments!
