AceShowbiz - WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle, announced on Saturday, April 13, that they are expecting their first child.
The couple, who met while attending Baylor University from 2009 to 2013, tied the knot in June 2019. After a decade of friendship, they began dating and fell head over heels in love.
Their happy news comes after a challenging year. In February 2022, Brittney was arrested in Russia on drug charges, leading to her detention for 10 months. During that time, Cherelle tirelessly advocated for her wife's release, fearing the worst.
In December 2022, Brittney was finally freed after a prisoner swap, and the couple was reunited. Since then, they have been rebuilding their lives together, taking time to reconnect and heal.
The couple shared the announcement of their pregnancy on Instagram, with Cherelle writing, "Can't believe we're less than three months away from meeting our favorite human being." The baby is due in July 2024.
Brittney and Cherelle's journey is a testament to their unwavering love and resilience. Despite facing adversity, they have emerged stronger and filled with joy as they embark on this new chapter as parents.
