Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle Griner, are expecting a baby.

That is the big news the couple shared on social media over the weekend.

It’s entirely possible that Baby Griner will be born during Pride Month. The couple used #July2024 in their Instagram post, saying they’re “less than three months away” from meeting their baby. It’s certainly possible that a Pride baby is on the way!

Brittney and Cherelle married during Pride Month 2019, on June 18. Cherelle is an attorney, who celebrated passing the bar exam just a couple years ago.

Either way, some time this year in about 2046, teams may be posturing to add a Griner to their roster in that year’s WNBA Draft. Of course, the baby could end up being a boy and find himself in the NBA Draft.

Brittney was the No. 1 pick by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2013 WNBA Draft.

We look forward to watching Baby Griner on the court (if they follow Brittney’s footsteps), or in court (if they follow attorney-mom Cherelle).
