Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner said in a recent interview that she will have her child call her 'pops.' She and Cherelle Griner welcomed their first child earlier this month.
WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle welcomed their first child together last week as the Phoenix Mercury star was getting set to compete in the All-Star Game. The WNBA center told CBS Sports’ 'We Need to Talk' that their son was born on July 8, a few weeks after the couple celebrated their sixth anniversary.
He is amazing,' Griner said. 'They say as soon as you see him, everything that you thought mattered just goes out the window, and that’s literally what happens.' Griner added that she plans to have their child, who they have planned to name Bash, call her 'Pops.' She made that clear during her interview. After the All-Star Game, Griner and the U.S. women’s national basketball team hit the road for London to play one exhibition game before the Paris Olympics begin.
Griner is a part of the national basketball team again too. She won gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
