Brittney Griner is not a mother to any child, according to her.

Ten-time WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner has had quite the week as the Phoenix Mercury enforcer participated in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game just days before she will head to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics as part of the USA Basketball Women’s National Team.

Before all of that went down, Griner revealed she and her wife, Cherelle, were now the parents to a little boy.

At the WNBA All-Star game at the Footprint Center, Brittney Griner revealed that she doesn’t want her newborn son to be calling her “mom.”

When Anchor Terrika Foster-Brasby stated she was about to be a mom, Griner quickly corrected her and stated, “Pops.”

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.

“It kind of sucks because I have to leave, but at the same time, he will understand,” Griner said.

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.

NBA legend Karl Malone has again come under fire for his scandalous past following an online rumor claiming he has finally made peace with his son.

It’s been widely known that the former Utah Jazz star had a son with a 13-year-old while he was a fully grown adult, though he never dealt with any consequences.

Malone, now 60, had a son conceived with a 13-year-old Gloria Bell when he was 20. He refused to acknowledge or support him, only meeting him once before they agreed to work on their relationship in 2014.

The son, Demetress Bell, went by the name Demetrius until finding out it was actually spelled “Demetress” in 2012. He was also a basketball player and went to play for Northwestern State College on a scholarship but opted to focus on football, leading to a five-year career in the NFL.
