Greek international basketball player Kostas Antetokounmpo, currently playing for Spanish club UCAM Murcia, recently celebrated a deeply personal milestone: the baptism of his daughter. The ceremony took place in an intimate setting and was marked by the presence of a very special godfather—none other than his brother and NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The child, born in 2024, was given the name Velena. The baptism was followed by a private celebration, with the joyful moments captured by the couple’s photographer and shared on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the touching family event.
Giannis, affectionately known as the “Greek Freak,” played an active role in the ceremony, further highlighting the close bond between the Antetokounmpo brothers—a connection that has long been admired both on and off the court.
Kostas and his partner, Demy Filippakou—a personal trainer and physiotherapist—have been together for five years. The baptism marks a significant chapter in their life as a couple and a growing family.
The event was held in a discreet yet elegant manner, emphasizing personal touches and the warmth of family over publicity. Every detail carried symbolic weight, making the day not only meaningful but memorable.
