The male NBA player who Brittney Griner once dated

• Brittney Griner is always a talking point on matters of relationships
• She once dated a male NBA player Anthony Davis
• They reportedly dated after Griner’s divorce from Gloria Johnson

Jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner is always a talking point on matters of relationships and now, there are rumours she dated Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis.

The seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year was arrested in Russia for reportedly possessing vape cartridges.

Griner was sentenced to nine years in prison earlier this month for being in possession of the cannabis oil. Her legal team already filed an appeal on her sentencing.

Nonetheless, the 2015 rumors that surfaced about Griner and Davis have recently resurfaced. Rumour is that shortly after Grinner’s breakup with WNBA star Glory Johnson, she started dating Davis.

Griner and Johnson’s divorce was finalized after Griner filed for divorce shortly after the couple used IVF to conceive twins.

Johnson countered by saying Griner chose the donor because of her fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.

However, the New Orleans Pelicans star at the time [Davis] supposedly started dating Griner soon after her divorce from Johnson.

Griner and her new boyfriend chose to remain anonymous in the beginning stages of their relationship. Davis, at one point, described her as everything he ever had. He said that their connection was incredible.

He added that they share a lot of interests and values. They would share shoes and shirts but later broke up without much huff.

Surprisingly, her relationship with Davis is unknown because she started dating her current wife, Cherelle Watson, in 2016.

This followed her divorce from Johnson. The big question is, how long did she date Davis? Griner met Watson when they were both freshmen at Baylor University.

They clicked and one thing to the other over the years. Eventually, Watson came to be after marrying her. The latter changed her surname from Watson to Griner in 2019.

Although Cherelle and Griner met while they were both Baylor University in Texas students, they did not begin dating until 2016. This was after Griner’s divorce from ex-wife Glory Johnson.

In 2018, the Phoenix Mercury player popped the question to Cherelle. They had their wedding the next year in 2019 when Cherelle changed her surname.

Griner, 31, posted celebrated this day on her Insta Stories, expressing unending love for Cherelle.

“I will never forget the day I met you at Baylor in the sub area!” she recalled.

Cherelle’s LinkedIn page states that she attended Baylor University from 2010 to 2014. She studied political science and government with a family and child studies concentration.

She later announced her May 2022 graduation from NCCU School of Law on Instagram. Thus, it suffices to say she has a career footing in government and law.

The Arkansas-born 28-year-old has been quite vocal on various social media platforms calling for Griner’s release. Cherelle Watson has, in numerous calls, pleaded with the US government to secure her partner’s release.
