On Friday, the WNBA player revealed the good news. She said that their 7-pound, 8-ounce baby was born on July 8. Brittney's baby boy won't be with her for long as she prepares to fly abroad to compete for Team USA in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The Phoenix Mercury player revealed to CBS Sports that their newest family member came on July 8 in advance of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
As per People, "That's my man. He is amazing," Brittney said with a proud smile, the outlet reported. "They said as soon as you see them, everything that you thought mattered just goes out the window. That's literally what happened."
Brittney will be spending some time away from her newborn kid as she prepares to fly abroad to compete for Team USA in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris for the third time. A month after Brittney and Cherelle Griner commemorated their sixth anniversary, there was news of a baby. Cherelle celebrated the event on Instagram with a photo carousel of vintage pictures and a heartfelt message for her wife.
The WNBA star will participate for her country for the third Olympics in Paris, and the first since being arrested in Russia on drug accusations for over ten months in 2022. Griner will compete in Paris for the first time as a father. Though she is upset to be leaving her kid so soon, she hopes he will understand because he is growing up in a sports household.
Brittney Griner was part of WNBA All-Star in 2023
Brittney Griner will leave the nation for the first time since her detention in Russia for the Paris Games. In February 2022, she was detained in Moscow on drug smuggling allegations when vape cartridges were discovered in her luggage at an airport. After a trial, she was found guilty and given a nine-year jail sentence. In December 2022, Griner came back to the United States following a prisoner swap between the two nations.
She has since started playing in the WNBA again and is doing well. Brittney Griner, who is averaging 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Phoenix Mercury, was named a WNBA All-Star in 2023 and again this season. Griner departed a game earlier this week with what seemed to be a lower-body injury. A moment later, the rest of the game was declared her out.
