Summary
Court records show Brittney Griner filed for divorce from Cherelle on Thursday, saying the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” with a hearing set for Sept. 1.
The couple married in 2019 and share a son, ending a relationship that drew national attention during Griner’s 2022 detention in Russia.
Cherelle Griner became a prominent public advocate during that imprisonment, pressing U.S. officials for Griner’s release before the WNBA star returned home in a prisoner swap for Viktor Bout.
The filing marks Griner’s second divorce; she now plays for the Connecticut Sun after previously starring for the Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream.
