The 24-year-old filed for an annulment with Glory Johnson-Griner last Friday, just a day after Johnson-Griner announced she’s pregnant and only a month after the two players wed.

Just days after filing the paperwork, Griner spoke candidly to ESPN about her decision.

The 6-foot-8 Phoenix Mercury star married Johnson just three weeks after they were both arrested on domestic violence charges for a fight at their home in suburban Phoenix.

Both players were suspended seven games after their arrests and Griner agreed to undergo 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling as part of a plea agreement.

In the aftermath of the fight, both players apologized and said they worked out their differences – but Griner said she should have given herself more time before they walked down the aisle.

With everything going on and counseling and classes, it just wasn’t the right way to start off a marriage,’ she told ESPN. ‘It wasn’t the right way to start off a unity like that. I wanted to take time to get myself right and – shouldn’t have done it.’

She said they agreed to go their separate ways.

On Thursday, Johnson announced that she was pregnant by posting a picture of a ‘bun in the oven’ cake on Instagram. She used a sperm donor to conceive for the couple, TMZ reported.
