When Brittney Griner’s first child with wife Cherelle is born, they become “pops.”

Foster-Brasby was promptly rectified by the ten-time WBNA All-Star, who also jokingly stated that she will now be called “pops.”

“You’re going to be a dad?” asked the anchor, to which Griner responded, “Yeah, pops,” with a double take.

“I can’t wait. Now that he’s here, I suppose I’ll just let it go,” she said. Eighteen pounds and seven ounces. Yes, my hubby is truly fantastic.

“They say everything you thought mattered just goes out the window as soon as you see them, and that’s exactly what happened.”

Griner continued by acknowledging that although it “sucks” to leave her five-year-married wife and their son behind in order to compete in the Olympics, she was certain that he would “understand.”
