Griner Divorce: Brittney and Cherelle Split After Eight-Year Marriage

Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle Griner are divorcing after eight years of marriage, with separation since July 24 and a divorce petition filed by Brittney citing an irretrievably broken union; she’s seeking joint legal and physical custody of their 2-year-old son Bash and an equitable division of marital assets, marking Griner’s second divorce after her 2015–2016 marriage to Glory Johnson. Cherelle, who acted as a prominent advocate for Brittney during her 2022 Russian imprisonment, has been a central figure in their public story.
