Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle, are months away from welcoming their first child together.
The happy couple took to Instagram on April 13 to announce the big news over a photo that teased Cherelle’s growing baby bump and a few sonogram shots.
“I had thought about that moment a thousand times, and I thought I would be full of tears,” Cherelle told People at the time. “But I was overwhelmingly happy. It was the first time I was able to finally exhale.”
The couple spent months apart during the detainment as Brittney did not want Cherelle to travel to Russia to see her under those conditions.
Shortly after the interview, she connected with President Joe Biden, who assisted her with Brittney’s release from Russian custody. It took nearly seven months after her initial meeting with Biden for Brittney to regain her freedom.
“So over the last nine months, you all have been so privy to one of the darkest moments of my life, and so today I am just standing here overwhelmed with emotions, but the most important emotion I have right now is just sincere gratitude for President Biden and his entire administration,” Cherelle said during a press conference.
After such a rocky journey, the Griners will soon welcome a bundle of joy.
