While Giannis Antetokounmpo's career has flourished in Milwaukee, his fiancée, Mariah Riddlesprigger, faced the challenge of defining her own identity.
Mariah opens up on finding her passion through the Antetokounmpo foundation
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Riddlesprigger, 31, opened up about the personal struggles she endured as the partner of an NBA superstar.
"For the longest time, I struggled personally. What do I want to do?
"It's hard to find your own identity sometimes because your life is so much them, your significant other, and what they do."

Last year, the NBA star's family launched the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation (CAFF), "a social impact organization" that aims to "unlock the potential inside every person—no matter where they start out or what difficulties they face."
Riddlesprigger revealed that when she was preparing for the birth of her first son that it really opened her eyes to the community's needs, especially considering the cost of diapers.
"We didn't realize how expensive diapers are until we were like, 'Whoa, diapers are expensive,' " she said.
In 2021, the pair held their first BIG Give Back diaper and fund drive in Milwaukee, aptly titled Maverick's Diaper Mission. And Riddlesprigger believes it was "a no-brainer" for CAFF to join her for this year's campaign.
