WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle Griner, have joyfully announced they are expecting their first child together. They shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a photo of themselves holding hands over an ultrasound image.

Brittney Griner, a standout player for the Phoenix Mercury, has been in the public eye not only for her basketball talent but also for her personal life. In 2022, she endured a nearly 10-month detention in Russia on drug charges before being released through a prisoner swap. Cherelle Griner played a crucial role in her release, working tirelessly to bring her home.

The couple’s announcement has been met with a wave of love and support from fans and fellow athletes, with many taking to social media to congratulate the Griners on their expanding family.

Brittney Griner has been vocal about her desire to start a family. In an interview last year, she expressed, “I definitely want to have kids. That’s something that’s always been on my mind.” Cherelle echoed this sentiment, saying, “We both want to have a family together.”

As they prepare for their child’s arrival, the couple continues to inspire others with their love and resilience. Brittney Griner is slated to return to the WNBA for the 2024 season, and fans eagerly anticipate her return.

Despite some negative comments from critics questioning their relationship and Brittney Griner‘s gender identity, the Griners remain focused on the love and support they’ve received and share their journey with their fans.
