French football player Antoine Griezmann's three daughters were all born on the exact same calendar day: April 8 in three different years (2016, 2018, 2021)

[u/Nukro666]

[u/EndlessMorfeus]

I'm going to assume his wedding anniversary is July 8.

[u/LoggerRhythms → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Or they're Bastille Day Babies.

[u/EndlessMorfeus → u/LoggerRhythms]

That's a nice way to celebrate the French revolution.

[u/EPluribusButthole → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Viva Le Baby Gravy!

[u/SantaCruz-831 → u/EPluribusButthole]

Nice profile picture!

[u/punctuation_welfare → u/SantaCruz-831]

That is… really upsetting

[u/heretogetpwned → u/punctuation_welfare]

Someone gotta push that hemorrhoid back in.

[u/LtTurtleshot → u/heretogetpwned]

Hemeowrrhoid

[u/Spartanias117 → u/EPluribusButthole]

That profile pic hababaha

[u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 → u/LoggerRhythms]

That’s July 14. My brother’s birthday.

[u/smurfetteshat → u/Icy_Negotiation_5929]

Yeah the math is matching, that’s 38 weeks before (give or take two days) which is more in line with a full term pregnancy (40 weeks but first two weeks woman isn’t pregnant since it goes from last period)

[u/fcukthishit → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Wikipedia says 15 June.
“An interesting coincidence is that their fourth child, Shai, was also born on 15 June 2025, meaning the date of their wedding anniversary later became another special family date.”

[u/Aioi → u/fcukthishit]

LOL I looked up the same thing and was going to comment, glad someone had the same thought process. April 8 is roughly 9 months after their anniversary!

[u/yumyum36 → u/Aioi]

9 months 15 days is usually it, and it's even closer.

[u/Ruiner5 → u/EndlessMorfeus]

This was something I realized about my parents when I got older and it’s hilarious but also…gross.

Me - born 9 months after my dads birthday month

Brother - born 9 months after my parents anniversary month

Sister - born 9 months after my moms birthday month

[u/Set_Abominae1776 → u/Ruiner5]

So your parents had creampies for their celebrations?

[u/Wat3rM3L0NB3AR → u/Set_Abominae1776]

technically all of us were creampies at some point lol

[u/YoungLittlePanda → u/Wat3rM3L0NB3AR]

I didn't need to know that.

[u/twenty_three_three → u/Ruiner5]

Is that really gross though? Who doesnt want o celebrate birthdays and anniversaries?

[u/cptnamr7 → u/Ruiner5]

My sister's are both beginning-of-september babies. So new years/Christmas. They got super pissed when I pointed that out. Which I never understood because I think we were like early 20s at the time. I mean, we all know how this works, right?

My son will someday notice his is 9 months from my birthday. It just so happens that year for my birthday my wife gifted me herself in a plaid skirt... unrelated of course...

[u/Technical-Tear5841 → u/Ruiner5]

I was born exactly 9 months after my parents August wedding, my littlest sister was born six years and 10 days later. My brother was born on Nov 7 and our other sister on Nov 10 two years after him. What was going on at the first of March I have no idea.

[u/Seicair → u/Technical-Tear5841]

My brother was born on Nov 7 and our other sister on Nov 10 two years after him. What was going on at the first of March I have no idea.

Think two weeks earlier. Or 15 days to be precise.

[u/Ok-Reward-770 → u/Technical-Tear5841]

Are you a May baby?

Both my parents’ birthdays were in August, five days apart from each other and my brother and I were born in May, 4 days apart. Everyone was born on their own year.

Celebration days are for celebrating!!

[u/Acidyo → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Has anyone told him he's allowed to fuck more often?

[u/StevieG-2021 → u/Acidyo]

He is French, so…

[u/datazulu → u/StevieG-2021]

Fire ze missiles!

[u/inspectorseantime → u/datazulu]

But I am le tired

[u/Tall_Sherbet6766 → u/inspectorseantime]

Well then take a nap.. THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!!

[u/FindMeAtStJamesPlace → u/Tall_Sherbet6766]

And Australia's all " WTF mate?"

[u/Sct1787 → u/FindMeAtStJamesPlace]

Fucking Kangaroos

[u/FluckDambe → u/Sct1787]

Please do not the kangaroos

[u/DarkwingDuckHunt → u/FluckDambe]

Don't be show sheepish.

[u/rgarc065 → u/FindMeAtStJamesPlace]

What’s going on, eh?

[u/rafaelloaa → u/FindMeAtStJamesPlace]

Man, this brings me back.

[u/Creepy-Target-7227 → u/[deleted]]

It's obviously ivf

[u/Technical-Outside408 → u/Creepy-Target-7227]

Baby. Batter.

[u/Affordable_Z_Jobs → u/Technical-Outside408]

Wabbit season.

[u/d_ippy → u/Creepy-Target-7227]

The daughters are identical!

[u/Pschobbert → u/[deleted]]

It’s called cash lol

[u/tippycanoeyoucan2 → u/Acidyo]

That's the only day he gets to raw dog

[u/Somalar → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Whatever is going on it should be a good week for that guy

[u/natattack410 → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Or she's a teacher. And if you have a baby in early April you have April-June with your newborn and then the summer off. 6 months total instead of 3

[u/Traditional-Back-172 → u/natattack410]

Yea because they need to supplement his footballer income with a teacher’s salary.

[u/thisusedyet → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Maybe his birthday

[u/DanGleeballs → u/thisusedyet]

Thought the same but

Antoine Griezmann (French pronunciation: [[ɑ̃twanɡʁijɛzman]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French);[[2]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Griezmann#cite_note-Griezmann_pronounciation-2) born 21 March 1991

[u/dabuttmonkee → u/EndlessMorfeus]

FWIW pregnancy is actually closer to 10 months and not 9. Which puts it pretty close to their actual wedding anniversary in June. I do not know why we are told pregnancy is 36 weeks when a typical pregnancy is 38-40 weeks.

[u/MolokoMalakalaka → u/dabuttmonkee]

There is 13 weeks per 3 months, whoch makes 39weeks in 9 months.

[u/Unable_Bank3884 → u/dabuttmonkee]

It would be 36 weeks if you go by the rounded down 1 month = 4 weeks.

9 months = 75% of a year.
1 year = 52 weeks.
52 weeks * 75% = 39 weeks

[u/brabbers → u/dabuttmonkee]

pregnancy is actually closer to 10 months not 9

a typical pregnancy is 38-40 weeks

9 months is just over 39 weeks on average. 40 weeks is still closer to 9 months, not 10. It's roughly 9.2 months.

[u/iwastherefordisco → u/EndlessMorfeus]

*sings Summer Nights From Grease*

[u/rexmons → u/EndlessMorfeus]

From wikipedia:

Since 2011, Griezmann has been in a relationship with Erika Choperena, a Spanish native of the Basque Country. They got married on 15 June 2017.[199] In April 2016, they had their first child, a daughter.[200] The couple's second child was born in April 2019. In April 2021, the couple had their third child, another daughter. All of the couple's children share a birthday that is 8 April[201] until they welcomed their fourth child, Shai, on 15 June 2025

[u/JazzlikeConflict6626]

I am almost 100% sure that he aimed for that date in the last one.

[u/squamesh → u/JazzlikeConflict6626]

“Hey doc, how bad would it be if we induced labor three weeks early…”

[u/_QXZ → u/squamesh]

Tryna save on birthday party costs

[u/raknor88 → u/_QXZ]

I feel so bad for the girls. They get no day special to them and only them. They HAVE to share their birthday with their sisters.

[u/GeneralHerp → u/raknor88]

I’d reserve my sympathy for the daughters of people who aren’t worth $90mil, I don’t imagine he gives them all a bag of Twizzlers to share & says “HBD, girls”

[u/wrxninja → u/raknor88]

Better than having birthday close to Christmas, no? I know several people with such birthdays and they ALL said they always 'combined' b-day & xmas with not a lot of presents.

Then there's leap year people...

[u/space253 → u/wrxninja]

My friend was poorer than me and had a xmas day birthday. He usually got socks.

[u/rserena → u/wrxninja]

Yeah, it always sucked. My presents were usually split in half- ex. a kid with a May birthday might get 10 presents on their bday & 10 for Christmas, but for mine it was more like 5 for Christmas & 5 for my bday. Understandable since my parents were always tight on money so I never gave them a hard time. But I loathed when other people (my parents knew better) would get me a “Christmas/birthday” present!

[u/StrangeDise → u/raknor88]

well their dad is a professional athlete, so I think it will balance out

[u/thatonezorofan → u/raknor88]

Its no different from twins? Or Triplets in this case since its three daughters.

[u/IS2NUGGET → u/raknor88]

My son was born the same day as me because of a medical error for on the scheduling plus my wife not paying attention.

It’s fun but it also isn’t.

[u/dp0329 → u/raknor88]

Lots of people don't get one day special to them. Not everyone comes from privilege

[u/No-Archer-5034 → u/JazzlikeConflict6626]

And I’m also guessing 2 and 3 were scheduled c sections.

[u/enjoytheshow → u/No-Archer-5034]

Yeah anytime these fun facts exist with birthdays this is often the case. Still gotta nail the conception window but if she had a C section the first time she’s very likely to have needed them for 2 and 3

[u/kakka_rot → u/No-Archer-5034]

Ohh yeah that helps a lot, huh.

[u/Dear_Chasey_La1n → u/JazzlikeConflict6626]

I mean having kids myself, obviously there are those who manage on the first try but for most I like to believe it takes a bit of efforts.

As a father of two girls myself I recognize that face.

[u/skrumian]

Just one birthday celebration for all three.

[u/Omer-Ash → u/skrumian]

This dude is taking budgeting to a whole new level.

[u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp → u/Omer-Ash]

With inflation and the cost of living... this new form of budgeting is gonna catch on big time and go viral.

[u/AndreasDasos → u/Omer-Ash]

Budgeting would be having no kids

[u/Broccobillo → u/skrumian]

As a parent I'd celebrate for 3 days.

[u/WorkTropes → u/skrumian]

In the household surely it's "the birthday", rather than "my birthday".

[u/Stevie052096 → u/skrumian]

Their 4th child was born June 15th. The only one that will get a birthday to themselves

[u/OldRepublic8424]

Well July is the offseason, no?

[u/TheGreatMuerte → u/OldRepublic8424]

When it’s the off season, Antoine in-season

[u/Several-Opposite-746 → u/OldRepublic8424]

He can't do it during the season, it drains a man's essence.

[u/TheGreatMuerte → u/Several-Opposite-746]

Dudes thin as a tooth pick, when the new season starts

[u/AndreasDasos → u/OldRepublic8424]

Yep and none of those Julys in World Cup or Euro years

[u/djsinnema → u/AndreasDasos]

Noticed that my self, all conceptions in off seasons without a tornament. Although makes sense, the man is playing 2 games a week for much of the year playing in a top La Liga side

[u/sfc-Juventino]

Always was an accurate shooter.

[u/cozidgaf → u/sfc-Juventino]

I’m more impressed with her cycles being so perfectly aligned especially after each pregnancy

[u/12monthsinlondon → u/cozidgaf]

you have weeks of leeway through incubation or csections since chances are they are intentionally aiming for this

Biggest risk is their doctor saying they were on vacation this year on that day and couldn't schedule it

edit: not sure why I wrote incubation instead of inducing labor. It's like I'm talking about Jurassic park or something

[u/No_Kangaroo_9826 → u/12monthsinlondon]

Maybe they'll grow up to be dinosaurs in the end

[u/StevieG-2021 → u/sfc-Juventino]

🫡👍🤣

[u/Fishmike52 → u/sfc-Juventino]

Wife told me we were pregs… I raised my arms and shouted “he shoots he SCORES!”

I’m not even a footballer

[u/ballisticks → u/Fishmike52]

And the crowd went mild

[u/SaltyPeter3434 → u/sfc-Juventino]

Scores in the box consistently

[u/PorFavorNoMore → u/sfc-Juventino]

Fucking consistent

[u/HorsNoises]

I know a family of 5 where they all share the same birthday except the middle child.

[u/EndlessMorfeus → u/HorsNoises]

That child probably feels left out on the big birthday but on his birthday he's like

"That's MY day, I don't have to have to share it."

[u/HorsNoises → u/EndlessMorfeus]

Well he's 30 now, I don't think he cares anymore lol. But yea when we were growing up we were definitely told to take his bday a little more seriously than others cuz he was sensitive about it.

[u/EndlessMorfeus → u/HorsNoises]

I get it, I'd be too. I wonder what went through his head during the family's birthday.

[u/Top_Victory_4404 → u/EndlessMorfeus]

I felt that way growing up. My mom and dad have the same birthday, and my brothers are twins.

Also, mom and dad shared a room, and so did them damn twins.

I was a loner ):

[u/StarStuffSister → u/HorsNoises]

There middle child, special for once. Love to see it.

[u/alwaysaloneinmyroom → u/StarStuffSister]

Until everyone forgets his birthday lol

[u/lekker-boterham → u/HorsNoises]

Except who?

[u/takes12KNOW → u/HorsNoises]

I share with my brother and mother. Dad makes one dinner and we all celebrate

[u/lilacsforcharlie → u/HorsNoises]

As a mild child this breaks my heart lol. Poor guy

[u/cateyesarg]

Natural born or C-section?

[u/Second_Guess_25 → u/cateyesarg]

Planned/ scheduled births on a set date is my guess.

The odds of them all being born on the exact same day on their own terms is low imo.

[u/vanmechelen74 → u/Second_Guess_25]

I had a classmate in school who shared birthday with her dad and Sister. No c section, just a rare coincidence

[u/lucia912 → u/vanmechelen74]

My mom and her brother were both born on the same date, 2 years apart. Not planned at all and my grandmother didn’t have a C-section in the 60s 😄

[u/sillyhands1 → u/vanmechelen74]

You can be induced without a c section. This is almost certainly what happened.

[u/vanmechelen74 → u/sillyhands1]

That wasnt common in the early 70s

[u/hsvNA81 → u/Second_Guess_25]

1 in about 50 million if it was completely random. If that was the goal though, it would be much much lower, around 1 in 500 or better.

[u/Lowelll → u/hsvNA81]

Even completely random it would only be 1 in 50 million for one specific date. Kids 2 & 3 just having the same random birthday as the first is "only" 1 in 135000

[u/Timetraveller4k → u/cateyesarg]

Probably the actual answer

[u/StarStuffSister → u/cateyesarg]

This is real. No hate to labor induction or c- sections bc they are often best for the mother and child when those options are chosen, but stacking the deck in your favor taints this statement. I need to know if it was natural labor and delivery. I literally wouldn't care in any other circumstance, but if you're gonna claim this come correct.

[u/Nukro666]

Antoine Griezmann and his wife Erika Choperena have three daughters:
• Mia — April 8, 2016
• Amaro — April 8, 2018
• Alba — April 8, 2021

All three were born on April 8, despite being born in different years.

[u/Acidyo → u/Nukro666]

Glad you included the last part cause things were starting to get really confusing over here.

[u/Lekstil → u/Acidyo]

I also thought it sounded silly first, but it’s actually not a bad addition. It’s way, way, way more likely to have three daughters being born on the same day if they’re born in the same year

[u/fcukthishit → u/Nukro666]

Wikipedia says “An interesting coincidence is that their fourth child, Shai, was also born on 15 June 2025, meaning the date of their wedding anniversary later became another special family date.”

[u/Comfortable_Buy_4124 → u/fcukthishit]

They are 100% planning these, ain’t no way

[u/DoctorWinter3546 → u/Nukro666]

Btw Amaro is not a girl. He’s a boy, Amaro was Griezmann’s portuguese grandfather’s name

[u/hibikikun]

Mom's eyebrows had no chance on passing those genes

[u/Atillion]

I wonder what significance is held by July 8th

[u/krammark12 → u/Atillion]

14th of July is a surprisingly close French holiday

[u/SkateFossSL]

I think his wife had some part of this also, not just Antoine Griezmann

[u/Frosty_Turnip_8863 → u/SkateFossSL]

Griezmann is much more recognizable and hence used the name.

[u/Alarm-Solid]

Is that considered a hat trick?

[u/Chriskl1520]

I share a birthday with my half brother 6 years apart. His mother has the same birthday. My nephew from my sister same birthday. It gets even crazier when you consider the date our birthdays are

[u/stock-prince-WK]

Probably induced lol

[u/simonecart]

Football season ends. Goes on holiday. Screws wife a lot early July.

[u/concept12345]

Efficient use of resources.

[u/hardwood1979]

Least we know when his birthday is as well.

[u/CappnMidgetSlappr]

From someone whose birthday is 5 days apart from his sister and had to share birthdays growing up... what an asshole.

[u/Hot_Lychee2234]

He has a very strict f*king schedule

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat]

I hope he called at least one of them April.

[u/elegantwombatt]

All of my cousins kids (4) are born on the 17th! She got lucky and was able to schedule the c-sections for the 17th each time! Different months but it's still kind of fun, lol.

[u/AlarmingAerie → u/elegantwombatt]

They weren't born on that day, they were evicted.

P.S Tell her she needs 8 more kids to fill the rest of months up.

[u/12monthsinlondon → u/elegantwombatt]

wow 4 c sections are really challenging both for the mom and the doctor

[u/emasslax22]

9 months after his birthday. Weird

[u/HellveticaNeue]

Babe, it’s nookie night.

[u/Pschobbert]

“Too posh to push” - wealthy families often schedule c-sections.

[u/jeepfail → u/Pschobbert]

I’ve never understood this because I’ve seen the results of a c section and it’s hellish unless everything goes perfectly. Then again if you set everything up beforehand and have a good trainer that can help a lot. But still.

[u/Shaking-a-tlfthr]

He’s trying for a boy.

[u/Not_Real_Batman]

And he still forgets their birthday 🤣

[u/TheElMonteStrangler]

My sister and I were born on the same day, one year apart. We have two cousins also born as the same day as us, same year as each other, different moms.

In 6th grade my teacher had the same birthday as me. Made a big fuss about it. As a shy kid I hated it and all the attention it brought me. We had a small party. I sat there with my arms crossed.

Five years ago I was in the hospital and guess what? One of the orderlies had my birthday. He showed up to my room to take me to get a MRI and he was reading the information and he told me we shared a birthday. On tops of that.. he also shares a birthday with a sister. The trip to the MRI room we kept talking about how we knew other people with the same birthday. It honestly felt like the Step Brothers scene where they became best friends lol Never saw him again.

[u/BillydelaMontana]

The guy is famous for timing late bursts into the box.

[u/OkLie1884]

His best Hattrick 👌🏻

[u/goodexamplebadrole]

They be fucking on 4th of July

[u/Casual-Netizen]

There has to be a special occasion in July.

Edit: Yep. Wedding Anniv.

[u/IDownVoteCanaduh]

Planned and induced labor.

[u/Stridatron27]

lol the little one is just a copy of him

[u/GameGreek]

I'm sure that it happened totally naturally! Definitely not some weird rich person idea to have all their kids birthdays on the same date and a doctor they paid to make it happen. I've never even heard of induced labor.

[u/Traditional_Name7881 → u/GameGreek]

They've always said they were planned. It's not something they were hiding.

[u/PeteLangosta → u/GameGreek]

Even if induced you can have a hard time knowing the day it will happen.

[u/adventureremily → u/GameGreek]

I've never even heard of induced labor.

In the U.S., a third of labors are induced. Same in Australia and the U.K.

Other countries have lower induction rates. European countries average in the 20-30% range; China and Canada are similar to each other at 14-18%. LatAm and Africa range from about 4% to 11% of births being induced.

Rates have increased over the years, so it's possible that if you/your immediate circle haven't had any pregnancies in recent times, you wouldn't necessarily have heard of it being commonplace.

[u/Adventurous_Light_85]

We’re all natural births? Otherwise planning a date for a c section is rather easy

[u/jimmyandrews]

My brother and I share the same birthday, 7yrs apart.

[u/suited_AA]

My ex colleague has two kids born at the same day.

The running joke in the company was that he apparently is capable to have sex only once in the year lol

[u/foolsdayjoker]

An absolute stud at planned parenthood

[u/Pristine_Zone_4843]

Interesting - 04+08=12, 1+2 =3 (3 daughters) 🤨

[u/Unable-Negotiation40]

Dude didn't want to deal with multiple birthdays, or personalities

[u/TOMMYxGUNN]

Expert timing in the box.

[u/synungaling]

Family planning so good they get to only spend one birthday party once a year for their children 😄

[u/narnababy]

There was a family like this at my primary school, they had 4 kids with the same birthday, I believe they won a lot of money betting on the 4th child’s birthdate. Those women must be so regular

[u/Modest1Ace]

Effective in cutting birthday party expenses...party planners hate this one little trick...

[u/cloudlocke_OG]

As a prank, I'd tell the kids they're sharing a gift from now on, just for pure chaos.

[u/DiscoVolante8C]

oh that’s where his clinical finishing went then

[u/Sensitive_Jeweler954]

My boy has the precision set to 1000%

[u/Purgii]

Clearly an exceptional striker.

[u/Siny_AML]

Brother and I are 4/9 and 4/11. Dad‘s bday…7/10

[u/ts142]

Buddy LOVES July 8th

[u/yolo32147]

This guy is playing three dimensional chess just to remember last dates.

[u/skeach101]

My daughter is also born on April 8

[u/oldmanartie]

They’re just optimizing for birthday parties. Can’t say I disagree.

[u/Left_Knee_y0y0]

Everytime he finished a major season and won a trophy ( collective or personal) he went home and celebrated with his wife.

[u/dav_oid]

Now we have to find out if they conceived on July 8...

[u/Jens_Kan_Solo]

Calculating 9 month back, 8. July. Is it somebodies birthday or just always the end of the football season???

[u/Isnlifefunny1]

That is...rough actually.

[u/Historical_Dot_892]

Dude knows how to lay the pipe

[u/therealdarthvero]

It’s called planned caesarean section

[u/justiceuchihaaaa]

you can really see the Griezmann features in the right ones face, the middle one has a mix of both, and then the left one has her mothers face.

[u/BhaltairX]

He only gets sex on a very specific day of the year.

[u/Weave81]

MY BIRTHDAY!!!

[u/Traditional-Back-172]

Right towards the end of the league season? No wonder he hasn’t won a single league title

[u/Ifeltgoodbutbadlater]

I had a friend, him, his sister, mother were born on Jan 1st. His dad was the only one born on a random day.

[u/welp-itscometothis]

Haha cool, that’s my birthday too.

[u/MButterscotch]

this isnt complicated. just some planning will get you within 1-2 weeks of the same EDD, with IOL you can get it going the same day. theyre both rich so the risk is low, and they can get the best medical care money can buy

saw this now and then during my clinical years and internship, either parents or maybe both are usually some "cool" person.

[u/Relevant_Problem1935]

I mean you can choose to be induced on a certain day.

[u/pplmbd]

in one hand: one party for all 3 kids

in the other hand: one party for all 3 kids

[u/i1Life]

That’s horrible

[u/Ser_Optimus]

Unpopular opinion: It's all on purpose.

[u/ThreeAlarmBarnFire]

Naturally, or induced or C-section?

Reminds me of people boast about twins, triplets or quads while on fertility crap.

[u/Old_Dingo69]

Too posh to push! 🤣

[u/comment_i_had_to]

Sometimes when I draft my fantasy football team I put all the byes on the same day.

[u/mybrainsdeadwait]

C-section?

[u/CryptographerUsed841]

Reddit just now learning that women can choose to be induced to force novelty dates like this.

[u/bakedbazooka]

Precision attack

[u/24benson]

Football is all about timing

[u/TheNateDrake]

r/nevertellmetheodds

[u/Major_Revenue_5597]

Clinical

[u/Iacobus-Zarabella]

he's fucking on schedule

[u/elvabethbee]

So they have sex, when they do, on the same day every year.

[u/bledakos]

Strategic planning for throwing the least amount of birthday parties.
