WNBA player Brittney Griner has filed for divorce from her wife of seven years, Cherelle, court records show. Cherelle was a vocal voice during Griner's Russian imprisonment, constantly pleading with U.S. government officials to bring the former Atlanta Dream star home. The Griners married in 2019 and share a son, but the WNBA star, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, said the marriage was "irretrievably broken." Griner wrote in her memoir that she expected Cherelle to get a divorce if she had actually stayed in Russia for her entire prison sentence. Griner married then-fellow WNBA star Glory Johnson in May 2015, despite both being arrested on charges of domestic violence against one another just three weeks prior.
