Alex Anthopoulos Family
Greek descent Alex Anthopoulos born on May 25, 1977, in Montreal, Canada is one of three sons born to John Anthopoulos, who died unexpectedly from a heart attack on May 15, 1998; Alex was 21 at the time. John Anthopoulos moved to Canada from Greece when he was a teenager, attended McGill University, and graduated with a degree in engineering; he later owned a heating and ventilation business in Montreal; Alex and his two older brothers Bill and George believed they would continue to run their dad’s business, the problem was neither of them felt passionate about the idea.
“We were three boys growing up,” Anthopoulos said. “It shook us to our core. We all were kind of going on with our lives a bit, going through school; we all got serious about things.
“I just immediately started working with his company. I felt a sense of obligation. Even though I didn’t take engineering in school – I had no interest in heating and ventilation – I just felt that I needed to try to follow in his footsteps.”
Eventually, Bill and George sold the company and worked in something they liked; Bill married Marianne Dollimore, a pilot and a realtor owner of MiltonPark real Estate in Montreal, while George is a music teacher.

Alex Anthopoulos Wife
Cristina Anthopoulos
Cristina Anthopoulos comes from a Portuguese family; they are currently residing in Toronto. Mrs. Anthopoulos has been married to the MLB exec since January 2, 2010. They have since welcomed two children Julia, 11, and John, 9. After her husband moved to the United States, Cristina and the kids followed him to Los Angeles, but she took her time to move to Atlanta when he signed with the Braves in November 2017; she and the kids eventually joined him in Atlanta the following year.
My wife has a tight-knit Portuguese family. You certainly don’t go hungry when you’re with them. I call it event dining because they just keep bringing food out to the table. We’ll spend some time with them [in the Toronto area], and then on Christmas night, we’ll drive about five hours to see my family in Montreal.
