WNBA star Brittney Griner has been on the news for a while now after her return home from Russia. The 8x All-Star was imprisoned for 10 months. The Olympic gold medalist has had a terrible year, after getting arrested, for smuggling drugs. However, her family didn’t leave her side, especially her wife, Cherelle Griner. With this let’s take a look at how the couple first met each other.
Cherelle and Brittney met each other during their college years. They both attended the same college, Baylor University in Texas from 2009 to 2013. One might think that they started dating each other right after, however, that is not the case.
