French football star and Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann, has scored five hat-tricks in his career, but none is so special-or unique-or unique- As for the hat-trick he has achieved with his family.
At 34, the World Cup winner celebrates the birthdays of his three children on the same day, April 8 – and none of them was born in the same year.
Hat-trick
Mia arrived first in 2016, and was in her arms when he celebrated the triumph of Moscow two years later. In 2019, Amaro was born, and then Alba arrived in 2021.
He says that sharing the same birthday is a total coincidence. “It was neither intentional nor planned,” he told the femmes Journal during an interview in 2023. “It’s just like that.”
He also said that none of his wife’s births was induced, commenting to Le Figaro in 2021, “it’s crazy! I have no magic potion to explain such a thing, except that when you are calm, relaxed on vacation, without pressure or matches or training, things happen naturally.”
Although very unusual, the Griezmann are not the only family to celebrate all children’s birthdays on the same date. The Lammert, in North Carolina, have four daughters, each born with three years apart, and his youngest daughter was born a month earlier than expected. Kristin Lammert told ABC News that when she and her husband realized that fate would all give them on their same birthday, they simply began to laugh.
Griezmann can be the best known example of such a wonderful family coincidence. Antoine played 137 matches for the French team, and spent much of her career at Atletico Madrid, one of La Ligala’s main clubs. He won the Europa League with the Colchoners and the Spain Cup with Barcelona, and also played in the Champions League final and two World Cup finals – winning in 2018 and losing in 2022.
Guinness
According to, the record are seven brothers born on the same day. In the Pakistani city of Larkana, Ameer Ali Mangi and Khudeja Ameer raised four boys and three girls – including two pairs of twins – who were all born on August 1 between 1992 and 2003.
Mangi told Arab News in 2023 that before establishing the record, they used to celebrate modestly birthdays, but now they do it with “much more joy and excitement!” His family is now world famous and are local celebrities who pose for selfies whenever they are recognized.
What is even more remarkable is that this family celebrates everything on the same day of the year, as not only children were all born on August 1, but both Mangi and Ameer were born on this date in 1968 and 1973, and also married on this date in 1991.
Spring is often a special time for European soccer players – league titles and World Cup competitions are often decided in April and May.
But whatever happens, Griezmann can always celebrate a hat-trick on April 8. “It’s a day that will be forever recorded in the family’s memory, especially between brothers and sisters,” he said.
