'Make Them Pockets Hurt!' — Brittney Griner’s Estranged Wife Seeks Financial Support From WNBA Money As Divorce Gets Messy: 9 Relentless Reactions

Cherelle Griner says a large income gap leaves her unable to meet monthly needs as she asks for joint legal custody and support.

  • Cherelle Griner responded to WNBA star Brittney Griner's divorce petition, requesting financial support due to a "substantial disparity" between their incomes as the case enters the money-and-custody phase following their July 24, 2026 separation.
  • After eight years of marriage beginning June 18, 2018, Cherelle noted the relationship is "irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation," following her high-profile advocacy during Brittney's detention in Russia.
  • Regarding their child, Bash Griner, Cherelle is requesting joint legal custody while asking the court to determine physical custody and parenting time based on the child's best interests.
  • Cherelle claims she is "unable to meet her reasonable financial needs on a monthly basis without continued support," citing the income gap between the parties in court documents.
  • The court must now determine asset division and custody arrangements as proceedings advance following the couple's separation earlier this summer, with both parties' positions now formally before the bench.
