Oh boy, guess what? Brittney Griner’s about to dive into the world of diapers and late-night feedings! Yep, the Phoenix Mercury icon is on the brink of motherhood. She and her wife, Cherelle, are all set to welcome a bundle of joy into their lives. They made the big reveal with a “Baby Griner Coming Soon” teaser. How exciting is that?
Their Instagram was buzzing with love and anticipation. Picture this: the duo, hands clasped, flaunting their matching tattoos right next to those adorable sonogram pics. Cherelle couldn’t hide her excitement, gushing about how they’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from meeting their “favorite human being.” July’s the month their lives change forever. And guess what? They’re keeping us guessing on whether it’s a boy or a girl.
Remember that Instagram post by Cherelle T. Griner? It was all kinds of heartwarming.
Brittney and Cherelle’s love story is straight out of a college romance novel. Baylor University, Texas, was where their paths first crossed between 2009 and 2013. But, you know how it is, timing is everything. It wasn’t until later that sparks really flew. Fast forward to June 2019, and they’re saying “I do,” a year after Brittney popped the question.
But life threw them a curveball. In February 2022, Brittney found herself in a Russian jail over drug charges. Can you imagine? Nine years was the sentence after a nail-biting trial. Thankfully, by December 2022, she was back home, thanks to a high-stakes prisoner swap initiated by President Joe Biden.
Cherelle, oh, Cherelle. She was over the moon to have Brittney back. Instead of tears, she was flooded with joy, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. And now, Brittney’s penning down her ordeal in “Coming Home,” set to hit the shelves next month. Talk about turning adversity into inspiration.
Adjusting to normal life hasn’t been a walk in the park for them. Cherelle shared how they’re taking baby steps, learning about each other’s trials and tribulations during their time apart. They’re committed to rebuilding their bond, one day at a time, feeding their souls with understanding and love.
Big congrats to Brittney and Cherelle on their upcoming adventure as parents!
And hey, a little shoutout to Kate Fann, nestled in East Tennessee with her family. When she’s not weaving words or getting lost in Instagram, she’s out exploring the Smoky Mountains or indulging in her love for wine, makeup, and baking. Sounds like a pretty sweet life, doesn’t it?
