Brittney Griner Files for Divorce From Wife Who Fought for Her Russia Release

Basketball star Brittney Griner has filed for divorce from her wife who fought to free her from a Russian prison.

The Connecticut Sun center, 35, has filed documents in a Georgia court indicating that her marriage to Cherelle, 34, is “irretrievably broken,” according to a filing obtained by The Atlanta-Journal Constitution. The court document stated that the couple got married in 2018 but have been separated since July 24.

The WNBA star is seeking “joint legal and physical custody” of their two-year-old son, Bash. Griner also asked for “an equitable division of all marital assets” and said she “should be awarded her separate, nonmarital property, including but not limited to inherited property as well as premarital property.”
