Brittney Griner and Cherelle Watson
During their undergraduate days at Baylor University, Brittney Griner, a renowned WNBA player with the Phoenix Mercury, crossed paths with her future wife, Cherelle Griner. Reflecting on their first encounter, Brittney shared the moment Cherelle tapped her shoulder, accusing her of taking her milkshake.
Their journey from college acquaintances to life partners is nothing short of a romantic tale.
