WNBA player Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle have just become parents to their first child.

We are thrilled to congratulate Brittney Griner on her newest addition to the family! The WNBA star and her wife, Cherelle, have welcomed their first child - a baby boy. The couple shared the exciting news with CBS Sports on July 19, revealing that their little bundle of joy arrived on July 8, weighing in at 7 pounds and 8 ounces. Although they have not yet shared the name of their son, Griner couldn't contain her joy as she gushed about him in an interview with the news outlet.

Standing tall at 6'9'', Griner couldn't help but express her amazement at becoming a parent. "That's my man. He is amazing," the 33-year-old exclaimed. "They say that as soon as you lay eyes on your child, everything else just fades away. And that's exactly what happened to me." Griner is overjoyed by the experience of being a new parent, but she also has to balance her responsibilities as a professional athlete. As she prepares to compete for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics, she will have to be away from her family for a few weeks. However, she is confident that her son will understand and support her.

"It's a bit tough because I have to leave, but at the same time, I know he will understand," Griner shared. As a two-time Olympic Gold medalist, she is determined to bring home another victory for her growing family. Griner also has twin daughters from her previous marriage to fellow WNBA player, Glory Johnson. The Griners had announced the news of their new addition back in April, and now they are over the moon with the arrival of their little one.

The couple also celebrated their sixth-year anniversary this past June, making this year a memorable one for Griner. In addition to becoming a mother, she also released her memoir, "Coming Home," in May. The book delves into Griner's experience of being imprisoned in Russia for almost a year on drug possession charges. The story gained much media attention, and the book became a New York Times Bestseller. Griner is now working with Bring Our Families Home to provide support for Americans detained overseas.

As she continues to heal from her past experiences, Griner is focused on the future, which now includes her son. With her loving wife by her side, she is ready to take on the challenges of parenthood and all that it brings. Congratulations again to Brittney and Cherelle on their growing family!
