Brittney Griner and wife Cherelle expecting first child

WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle Griner, are excitedly anticipating the arrival of their first child, as revealed in a recent Instagram post. The couple shared a heartfelt snapshot of themselves with an ultrasound image, expressing their eagerness to meet their “favorite human being” in July 2024. This joyful news comes after a challenging period for Brittney, who spent nearly 300 days in Russian custody in 2022 after being arrested for inadvertently carrying cannabis oil in her luggage. Following intense negotiations, the U.S. government secured her release in December of that year. Brittney, a prominent figure in women’s basketball, has recently re-signed with the Phoenix Mercury for the upcoming WNBA season. Her career accomplishments include two Olympic gold medals and a WNBA championship in 2014. At 33, she continues to be a formidable presence in the league, celebrated for her scoring ability and defensive skills.
