Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle announce that they are expecting their first baby this summer
WNBA star Brittney Griner and wife Cherelle Griner are expecting their first child.
The couple’s pregnancy news comes one year after Brittney was released from a Russian prison after being arrested on drug charges at a Moscow airport in February 2022 while playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg during the WNBA offseason. Russian authorities claimed that the professional basketball player had smuggled hash oil into the country in her luggage. News of her arrest did not reach the public until weeks later.
Griner pled guilty in a Russian court on July 7, 2022, and was initially sentenced to 9 years in prison. The Phoenix Mercury player was released on December 8, 2022, after her freedom was negotiated in exchange for a convicted arms dealer.
