Watch the precious moment Cherelle Griner learned Brittney Griner was finally on her way home

“This is such a good day. Oh my God.”

It has been a long time coming for the Griner family since Russian authorities wrongfully detained Brittney Griner over vape cartridges.

The sports world was overtaken with joy when news broke that the Mercury center would finally be returning home after finally Russia agreed to a prisoner swap. It certainly came at a heavy cost and is considered controversial by some, but it was worth it. An American who has been wronged is finally returning home.

While everyone was thrilled with the news, no one was more filled with joy than Brittney’s wife, Cherelle, who had to endure so much over the last 10 months.

She had support, sure. But Cherelle Griner’s wife still had not been returned home and there were moments where she had no idea where Brittney was. Now, all of that is over.

We got a glimpse of the moment Cherelle learned Brittney Griner was finally safe and headed home via President Joe Biden’s Twitter account.

This moment is so precious. You can see the joy on Cherelle Griner’s face.

“She’s on the ground,” President Biden says about Brittney Griner, who is in the process of being transferred. “Stop it,” Cherelle Griner replies with a big smile on her face. Then they shared a big hug.

“This is such a good day. Oh my God,” she said as they sat down. You can’t help but be happy for her here. What a good day, indeed. What a special moment.
