Former Atlanta Dream star and WNBA veteran Brittney Griner filed for divorce from her wife, Cherelle, in Fulton County on Thursday, court records show.
The couple have been married since 2019, according to news reports, although the court filing said they were married in 2018. They share a 2-year-old son.
Griner’s attorney, Randall Kessler, issued a brief statement Friday afternoon.
“This is a matter we hope the parties can resolve privately. There is no further comment at this time,” he said in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The basketball player’s agent did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Cherelle Griner could not be reached for comment.
