Cherelle Griner seeks spousal support in divorce from Brittney Griner

Brittney Griner Cherelle Griner WNBA divorce proceedings child custody

Cherelle Griner has filed a response to the divorce petition initiated by WNBA star Brittney Griner, centering the legal dispute on financial support and child custody.

In court filings in Fulton County, Georgia, Cherelle Griner cited a “substantial disparity” in income between the couple. She stated she is unable to meet her monthly financial needs without continued support, noting Brittney’s significant earnings, including a reported $1.19 million contract with the Connecticut Sun for the 2026 season. Cherelle is also seeking joint legal custody of their son, Bash Griner, while requesting the court determine physical custody and parenting time based on the child’s best interests.

Brittney Griner originally filed for divorce on July 30, 2026, describing the eight-year marriage as “irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation.” The couple reportedly separated on July 24, 2026. The legal proceedings follow a period of high visibility for the couple, including Cherelle’s public advocacy for Brittney’s release from Russian custody in 2022.
