Okay, so I was super curious about who Brittney Griner dated before her marriage to Glory Johnson, and later, Cherelle Watson. It’s kinda hard to find definitive info, but I wanted to dig in and see what I could uncover, just for my own curiosity, you know?
My Little Investigation
I started by just, like, Googling. I typed in “Brittney Griner dating history” and stuff like that. Honestly, most of the results were about her relationships with Glory and Cherelle. Lots of news articles, some kinda gossipy stuff – nothing really concrete about anyone before them.

Then, I figured I’d check out some forums and discussion boards. I thought, “Maybe some super-fans have talked about this somewhere?”. So I went down a bit of a Reddit rabbit hole. Found a few threads mentioning her name, but again, mostly focused on the more public relationships. There were some hints and speculations here and there, very vague, unsubstantiated rumors. Nothing I’d feel comfortable sharing for sure.
Sifting Through the Info
- Lots of Focus on Glory Johnson: The marriage and, unfortunately, the domestic violence incident with Glory Johnson got a ton of coverage.
- Cherelle Watson is Prominent: Her current marriage to Cherelle Watson is also very well-documented, especially given Cherelle’s advocacy during Brittney’s detainment in Russia.
- Pre-Fame Relationships are Hazy: It seems like any relationships Brittney might have had before she became a huge WNBA star are pretty much private. And honestly, that’s totally her right!
I found my searching and my findings a bit of a dead end, I did not find anything worth sharing, but It’s totally reasonable that she’d keep that part of her life under wraps. So I just wanna put it out there, I just wanted to get more accurate information.
