Brittney Griner has been the talk of the town for some months. The WNBA star has been detained in Russia since mid-February and is serving a 9-year prison sentence. With the subject of her overseas detention lighting fire by the day, her previous romances and their stories have also begun to be revisited.

One is of her short-lived marriage with Glory Johnson. Johnson and Griner tied knots in May 2015. The star-studded union, however, lasted less than a year before they separated. Their vows on their wedding day, though, gushed a torrent of love and made it appear as though their marriage would last forever.

During their outdoor ceremony at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, the two expressed their love for each other with their family members beside them. Both Griner and Johnson penned their own funny and compassionate vows, expressing the fun-loving relationship they shared.

Brittney Griner was the first to speak, and her vow was brief, hilarious, and heartfelt.

“With you by my side, I know that I’ll always be taken care of and protected. I will give every ounce of my love that is possible to you, as long as you cook me fried chicken wings and hot chocolate,” said Griner.

Glory Johnson then read her vow, which was concise and heartfelt. She also accepted the complications their relationship might tackle in the future. “I promise to be the Whitney to your Bobby, the Bonnie to your Clyde, the Ike to your Tina,” Johnson started.

She continued, “I promise to accept that we’re different, that we will see the world differently and over the course of our marriage we will want different things…I don’t expect this to be easy.”

Fair to assume, Griner would have been moved to tears by Johnson’s vow.

Glory Johnson also spoke out regarding Brittney Griner’s detention

Cherelle Griner, Brittney Griner’s wife, has been vocal and has done all in her power to help bring her partner home. She even spoke with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, both of whom promised to pursue every option to bring her wife home.

While Griner’s wife has professed her wholehearted support for her, her ex-wife, Glory Johnson, has also voiced her opinion on the situation. She penned down a whole heartfelt message in support of Griner on her Instagram.

She made it extremely clear that she is extremely supportive of Griner. Johnson also stated that even after their short-lived marriage, they both share secrets and feelings with one another. She also stated that she doesn’t need to be married to someone to show their support for them.

It’s encouraging to learn that Griner’s ex-wife remains positive about her return to the United States. As she mentioned in her statement, their divorce has brought them closer than they have ever been.
