Maria Menounos has an enduring passion for her Greek heritage. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she eagerly returns to her homeland to savor moments of relaxation and cherish family time. The beloved presenter has candidly shared her journey to motherhood and the serious health challenges she has faced, and now, she celebrates the greatest blessing in her life—her daughter, Athena.
Athena was born through surrogacy after years of effort and personal struggles. Since her arrival, Maria has frequently expressed her desire to fully embrace motherhood and provide her daughter with all the love and care she deserves.
Currently, Maria is back in Greece. She has been sharing delightful moments on social media, including pictures from a boat outing with her koumbaroi (close friends and ceremonial sponsors), proudly featuring her daughter, Athena.
She spent a wonderful day on the water with Sotiris Kyranakos and Marietta Chrousala. In her Instagram caption, she wrote, “Sun, salt, soul reset. A perfect day on the boat with my koumbaros Sotiris, my Marietta, and my little ray of sunshine.”
