Born in Kosovo and raised in Germany, age 24 Marigona who stands at a height of 5 feet 8 inches, studied nursing before relocating to Greece with her partner Nikos, a devoted Olympiacos fan. Since then, she’s embraced the Greek basketball scene and built a strong digital presence, sharing lifestyle, fitness, and travel content. Today, her follower count exceeds 254,000. Her growing popularity earned her a guest spot on The 2Night Show, one of Greece’s popular talk shows, where she opened up about her viral rise, her move to Greece, and her love for basketball.
Marigona fondly recalled how she met her partner, Nikos, seven years ago in their shared hometown. She described his approach with a smile, referring to it as a “classic Greek pick-up line” that sparked their first conversation. Over time, that light-hearted banter blossomed into a lasting relationship. Now living together in Greece, the couple primarily communicates in German.
Nikos is a Greek businessman involved in buying and selling gold and watches.

More recently, she was named the official “madrina” (ambassador) for the 2025 Coppa Italia Basketball Final Eight, where she will present the trophy and help elevate the event’s reach—especially in Italy, where a significant portion of her fanbase is located. While the internet may have first noticed her beside IShowSpeed, Marigona clearly had her own spotlight long before the selfie was posted. Now, the world continues watching as her influence grows far beyond a viral glance.
Since moving to Greece, Marigona has received several offers to participate in television programs such as Greece’s Next Top Model (GNTM), but these have been rejected.
