Love and basketball. Brittney Griner is one of the best athletes in the WNBA — and she always has her sweetheart, Cherelle Griner, cheering her on from the sidelines.The Olympic gold medalist and the teacher met as undergraduates at Baylor University in Texas while Brittney was making a name for herself as one of the best college basketball players of all time.

They didn’t start dating until years later, however, when they reconnected after the athlete split from her first wife, Glory Johnson.“I will never forget the day I met you at Baylor in the sub area!” Brittney wrote via Instagram in June 2020. “You tapped me on my shoulder and told me I took your milkshake (still up for debate lol) and I was immediately blown away at your beauty!

You had no idea but I knew you were the one for me baby. You stuck by my side at the lowest and at the highest!”The Phoenix Mercury center proposed to Cherelle in August 2018, and the duo tied the knot nearly one year later.

Since then, the pair have repeatedly gushed over each other on social media, sharing snaps from vacations and commemorating their relationship milestones.“Everyday with you is spectacular but when I get to celebrate your life and all that you are is just breathtaking ❤️!” Brittney wrote via Instagram in July 2020 to celebrate her spouse’s birthday. “To many more my love.”In 2022, the couple became the subject of international news when the basketball star was detained in Russia on drug charges.
