VIDEO: Brittney Griner Had To Awkwardly Correct A Reporter Who Called Her “Mom” While Discussing The Birth Of Her Child

She then revealed the big news, saying that the baby was already born.

“I guess I’ll just drop that he’s here,” Griner said, revealing that the baby was born weighing seven pounds and eight ounces.

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

The two-time gold medalist will travel to the 2024 Paris Olympics in the coming week, so she won’t get in that crucial, valuable time she hopes to have.

Brittney Griner Pays Child Support To First Child From Ex-Wife

Before the Russia incident, Brittney Griner used to be in a ton of controversy with her ex-wife, Glory Johnson.

Johnson and Griner, both WNBA players, in 2015 were married. Johnson had to miss the 2015 season due to pregnancy.

The next day, Brittney Griner filed papers requesting the marriage be annulled, stating she was “pressured into marriage under duress by Johnson’s threatening statements.”

Months later, Johnson requested $20,000 a month in temporary spousal support, but was denied.

However, an Arizona judge agreed that $2,516.97 is a reasonable monthly payment for child support for Griner to pay, according to ESPN.
