WNBA Star Brittney Griner and her previous marriage to Glory Johnson has been pretty well documented. The two stars connected with each other at a basketball camp in 2013 and they were engaged within a year. This was new for Johnson, who had not been in a same-sex relationship until then. The only reason she decided to go ahead as she felt she could rely on Griner more.

The two stars went out for the first time in Las Vegas and after some time, they were officially together. This was huge news at that time, as both of them were staring for their team. And this was even more exciting for Johnson, as this was something new to her.
