Brittney Griner and Wife Cherelle Griner Welcome Their 1st Baby

WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle Griner, confirmed the arrival of their first baby after announcing the pregnancy in April

Brittney continued that it “sucks” she’ll have to leave her newborn as she goes to compete during WNBA All-Star weekend in Phoenix, Arizona, before heading to the 2024 Paris Olympics for her third time representing Team USA. “Can’t believe we’re less than three months away from meeting our favorite human being,” the couple captioned a joint Instagram post, adding “#BabyGrinerComingSoon” and “#July2024.” In the photo, they held hands beside sonogram images of their baby. In February 2022, Brittney made headlines when she was arrested on drug charges at a Moscow airport while playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg during the WNBA offseason.
