In an interview with “Complex,” both Giannis and Alex cleared some air about their relationship. Giannis said:
“The most important thing he told me is that he wanted me to be happy, and to be comfortable with my choice. We talked about every single option for months, but at the end of the day he knows me, and knows what matters the most to me and my family.”
Giannis further talked about the common misbelief about his relationship with Alex Saratsis. The Greek Freak continued:
“I don’t think people understand the kind of relationship me and my family has with Alex. He is as close to family to me as anyone that is not blood related can be.”
