Brittney Griner & Cherelle Griner’s Baby Announcement
On Saturday, April 3, the pair took to Instagram to announce that they are expecting a bundle of joy. Their due date is only a few months away.
Their shared caption read, “Can’t believe we’re less than three months away from meeting our favorite human being #BabyGrinercomingSoon #July2024.”
This will be Brittney’s third child. She shares twins with her ex-wife and WNBA player, Glory Johnson. They were birthed in 2015. However, the athletes ended their marriage the following year.
The 33-year-old married Cherelle four years later in 2019.
Their supporters were excited to hear the news.
@liljo09 commented under their announcement, “Congrats! Amazing! Mini Griner homie.”
“Congrats ! We pray we are blessed with a little one this year !! Blessings to yu both to a pair of some of the greatest parents to be,” @transmission.detailing added.

Griner’s B-Ball Career
The Phoenix Mercury is entering her 11th WNBA season. The baller has never played for another team and just signed a contract for another season. This is for good reason. Brittney is predicted to enter the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, per The Sun.
Not only is Griner a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, but she has also been an All-Star eight times. She made a powerful return to the WNBA after she was imprisoned in Russia. Brittney was detained for smuggling drugs from February to December 2022. Less than a gram of hash oil was in her vape cartridge.
After re-entering the women’s league, she averaged 17.5 points and 2.2 assists per game. Additionally, she brought in 6.5 rebounds each match-up.
Looks like things continue to get brighter for Britt. Congrats to the happy couple!
