We Need To Talk / CBS Sports
Brittney Griner made a special announcement Friday … she and her wife, Cherelle, have welcomed their first child!!
The Phoenix Mercury star dropped the exciting news on CBS Sports’ “We Need To Talk” … prior to the WNBA’s All-Star Skills Challenge and 3-Point contest in Phoenix, Arizona.
“He’s here,” the Phoenix Mercury center said. “Seven pounds, eight ounces.”
The WNBA champ and Cherelle — who she married in 2019 — haven’t shared any photos of their newborn on social media just yet … but Griner said she’s thrilled to be a “pops.”
“He is amazing!” she added. “They say you know as soon as you see him, everything that you thought mattered just goes out the window and that’s what literally happened.”
“Kinda sucks because I gotta leave, but at the same time … he’ll understand.”
Of course, Griner is referring to the Summer Olympics in Paris … as Team USA will start off its quest for a gold medal with a showcase against Germany next week.
But, the 6-foot-9 center will get as many updates as possible … ’cause she says she expects to receive a ton of pictures while she’s out in France.

“My whole phone is turned into him now,” Griner said.
We actually spoke with Griner last month about her bundle of joy … and she told us she can’t wait for him to start playing sports — just like her!
Congrats!!!
