Overview
- Griner submitted divorce papers in Fulton County Superior Court last week, describing the marriage as “irretrievably broken” and listing July 24 as the date of separation.
- In the petition Griner asks for joint legal and physical custody of their two-year-old son, Bash, and requests an equitable division of marital property while preserving separate nonmarital assets.
- Court records filed in Georgia list the couple’s wedding date as June 2018 and are the primary source for the divorce details reported by multiple outlets.
- A Sept. 1 court hearing has been reported by a single outlet and remains developing; neither Brittney nor Cherelle has issued a public comment as of the latest reports.
- The split closes a chapter that included Cherelle’s public advocacy during Griner’s 2022 arrest and prisoner exchange from Russia and could prompt legal disputes over custody and asset division as the case proceeds.
