After riling up the hoops community in the past couple of seasons, Giannis Antetokounmpo finds himself in troubled waters. With the Bucks lingering with a 7-9 record, it would require quite a lot of effort for the Greek athlete to turn things around. However, with Antetokounmpo focused solely on raising the bar for his team, a different rumor is taking over the internet.

In a recent Instagram post, Antetokounmpo uploaded pictures of his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger along with her children. Dressed in an all-white sweatshirt and pants combo, fans were quick to notice something interesting in the picture. With the picture showing a noticeable bump in the belly area of Riddlesprigger, fans quickly speculated that Antetokounmpo might be expecting a fourth time.

For the uninitiated, Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger are the proud parents of three. They gave birth to two boys, Liam and Maverick Shai, and a daughter named Eva Brooke. However, the Bucks’ star’s latest upload has sent the fans into a frenzy, with rumors for their possible fourth child spreading like wildfire.

“Is that another baby bump? Giannis could single handedly repopulate the earth,” an X account named ‘Tyler Swish’ posted, echoing similar sentiments. To make things more creative, fans decided to jump into the comment section with their take on the matter.
