Brittney Griner is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence in Russia over drug charges. Griner has now spent over 150 days in detention in the foreign land. In Russia, Griner has had little to no contact with her family. It was reported that over a month ago, Griner’s wife, Cherelle, who recently graduated from Law School, was sitting for the Bar exam and got a good-luck message from Griner. Brittney and Charelle have been married since 2019. Prior to Charelle, Griner was married to a fellow WNBA athlete, Glory Johnson. Griners’ ex-wife once shared her thoughts on Griner on how she would be if ever she got pregnant.

According to Glory, Griner, who filed for an annulment days after her wife announced her pregnancy, would be the “worst pregnant lady ever”. Johnson made this claim but did not speak much about it. According to Johnson, Griner and she would often talk about having children. It appears that Glory wanted no more than three children, but Griner wanted a bigger family.
