Brittney Griner, wife Cherelle welcome first child

Brittney Griner is now officially a mom.

The now 10-time WNBA All-Star welcomed a baby boy into the world with her wife, Cherelle, she said on CBS Sports’ “We Need to Talk” on Friday.

The Griners welcomed a boy — who weighs 7 pounds, 8 ounces — on July 8.

The name of the baby boy was not revealed.

“That’s my man. He is amazing,” Griner said. “They said as soon as you see them, everything that you thought mattered just goes out the window. That’s literally what happened.”

Griner is set to represent Team USA and then in the Paris Olympics, which begins next week.

Griner was on the gold medal-winning Team USA squads in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics and on the 2014 and 2018 World Cup teams that also claimed the gold.

This weekend, Griner is in Phoenix — where she’s played her entire WNBA career — for the league’s All-Star weekend.

For the big game, which will be at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, the WNBA All-Stars will be taking on Griner and Team USA in an impressive showcase.

In the first edition of the encounter, Team WNBA defeated Team USA, 93-83, in 2021.

Griner, who has started all 15 of her appearances this season, is averaging 18.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game with the Mercury.
