布蘭妮·格里納和妻子謝麗爾即將迎來他們的第一個(gè)孩子:“即將到來”

Brittney and Cherelle Griner are expecting!
布蘭妮和謝麗爾·格里納懷孕了!

The couple, who tied the knot in June 2019, shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Saturday, April 13.
這對夫婦于2019年6月結(jié)婚，并于4月13日星期六在Instagram上分享了這一消息。

Alongside a photo of the WNBA star, 33, and her wife holding hands next to an ultrasound of their child, Cherelle wrote that she “can’t believe we’re less than three months away from meeting our favorite human being.”
在一張33歲的WNBA球星和妻子手牽手的照片旁邊，謝麗爾寫道，她“不敢相信我們還有不到三個(gè)月就要見到我們最喜歡的人了。”

She also shared that the baby is due in July, adding the hashtags, “#BabyGrinerComingSoon” and “#July2024.”
她還分享了孩子將于7月出生的消息，并添加了“#BabyGrinerComingSoon”和“#July2024”標(biāo)簽。

The couple’s happy news is a long time coming, as they first met more than a decade ago while attending Baylor University from 2009 to 2013 — though they did not start dating until years later.
這對情侶的喜訊姍姍來遲，因?yàn)樗麄冊?009年至2013年就讀貝勒大學(xué)期間相識于十多年前，盡管他們直到幾年后才開始約會。

In June 2019, nearly one year after Brittney popped the question to Cherelle, the expectant parents tied the knot.
2019年6月，在布蘭妮向謝麗爾求婚近一年后，這對準(zhǔn)父母喜結(jié)連緣。

Then, in February 2022, the couple’s world was turned upside down after Brittney was detained in Russia — where she was supposed to play in an off-season basketball game — for drug charges. After months in Russian custody and a weeks-long trial, the WNBA star was sentenced to nine years in prison.
然后，在2022年2月，布蘭妮在俄羅斯因毒品指控被拘留后，這對夫婦的世界發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化——她本應(yīng)該在那里參加一場休賽期的籃球比賽。經(jīng)過幾個(gè)月的俄羅斯拘留和長達(dá)數(shù)周的審判，這位女子nba球星被判處9年監(jiān)禁。

Following the sentencing, Cherelle reacted to verdict in an interview with CBS Mornings, telling Gayle King, “I'm like, in no world would I ever [have] thought, you know, our president and a foreign nation's president would be sitting down having to discuss the freedom of my wife."
判決之后，謝麗爾在接受哥倫比亞廣播公司早間節(jié)目采訪時(shí)對判決做出了回應(yīng)，她告訴蓋爾·金，“我從來沒有想過，你知道，我們的總統(tǒng)和一個(gè)外國的總統(tǒng)會坐在一起討論我妻子的自由。”

“It terrifies me, because when you watch movies, sometimes those situations don't end well,” she said at the time, adding, “Sometimes they never get their person back.”
“這讓我很害怕，因?yàn)楫?dāng)你看電影的時(shí)候，有時(shí)那些場景不會有好結(jié)果，”她當(dāng)時(shí)說，并補(bǔ)充說，“有時(shí)他們再也找不回自己了。”

Thankfully, Cherelle did get her person back, as Brittney was eventually released in December 2022.
謝天謝地，謝麗爾終于找回了她的人，布蘭妮最終于2022年12月獲釋。
