Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson’s relationship abruptly ended last week and it left onlookers with one major question, what’s going to happen to the baby? According to Glory, she plans to continue with the pregnancy.
“I am truly really saddened by the recent turn of events and was not expecting to have our marriage end so abruptly,” Glory Johnson wrote in a statement. “I am ready to begin focusing on my health, pregnancy and am going to remain in Tulsa to continue to build my relationship with the Tulsa Shock organization, and my teammates. I appreciate the support of my fans, family and loved ones and look forward to returning to the basketball court as soon as I can.”
She also addresses the pregnancy a bit further. She says that she was impregnated via in vitro fertilization with her egg and a donor’s sperm. “I would like to address the inaccurate statements released surrounding my marriage and pregnancy, so that I can continue, after this statement, to focus on my privacy and allow our lawyers to handle this situation,” she said. “At no stage was Brittney pressured to undertake the fertility process. In fact, throughout the entire process, Brittney was a willing participant, consenting and signing all the necessary documents that needed to be signed in order to move forward with the treatments.”
This is pretty contrary to original reports that said Brittney was clueless. “In addition, while we may have both had our reservations, we both willfully and joyfully walked down the aisle together and decided to get married,” Johnson said.
