Brittney Griner gushes about her new son, Bash, says her cell phone memory now belongs to him.
Brittney continued gushing about her new baby, who, according to People, is named Bash. The famous hooper said that she looks forward to being a “pops.” But also knows her time with Bash will be limited as she heads to France.
“It kind of sucks because I’ve got to leave, but at the same time, he’ll understand,” the WNBA player and gold medal winner shared as she takes on the global stage once again.
“My whole phone is turned into him now,” she said to host Terrika Foster-Brasby after joking about having several pictures of Bash.
While Brittney and Cherelle haven’t released official newborn photos yet, we’ll be ready to see our new internet nephew when they do.
The birth of their son comes just 19 months after Brittney’s public release from Russian captivity and triumphant return to professional sports. Bash represents a new chapter in the couple’s life and is an adorable testament to resilience, strength, and love.
We’re not crying – you’re crying!
Congratulations to both!
