Early Life and Birth

Solei Diem was born alongside her twin, Ava Simone Diem on the 12th of October in 2015. Many firsts for babies, not normal births are quite a handful since they are babies born pre-terms after merely 24 weeks. Therefore they were delivered in a situation many would view being much too earlier than required when they only weighted about 1 pound 7 ounces in weigh. This only means they still grew healthfully and became rather strong kids at the end.

Their birth also made headlines because of how they were conceived. Solei and Ava were born through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is a process where eggs are joined with sperm outside the body before being placed inside the mother. Glory Johnson, Brittney’s ex-wife, provided the egg, and a sperm donor was used.

Family and Parentage

Brittney Griner, who is one of the biggest stars in women’s basketball, happens to be the mother of Solei. Brittney plays for the Phoenix Mercury and has received multiple Olympic gold medals. Her personality is known to be pretty powerful, coupled with her passage through many personal challenges. She also had a mother who played in the WNBA, named Glory Johnson. However, Glory retired from playing basketball.

Solei’s biological parents, Brittney and Glory, got married in May 2015 when the twins were almost born. Unfortunately, this marriage was quick to end, and it had to be annulled due to personal issues. This means the marriage was nullified as though it never happened. Despite their hard breakup, Brittney and Glory have struggled to co-parent their daughters to ensure that they feel loved both by them.

Solei’s Siblings

Solei has a sister, Ava Simone. Her twin sister is pretty much a carbon copy of herself. However, she has got a younger brother, Bash Griner, who was born on 8 July 2024. Bash is her child with her wife, Cherelle Griner.

Even though Solei’s family is not like most families, it is full of love. Brittney and Cherelle are raising Bash together, while Brittney and Glory continue to share the parenting of Solei and Ava.

Family Support and Custody

Since the separation of Brittney and Glory, both have been through a lot concerning custody and support. Brittney has to pay child support for Solei and Ava. Still, both parents have shown much love and care for their daughters. They make sure that Solei and Ava are well taken care of and have everything they need.

Britain’s family, in particular, her siblings, who helped her bring up the girls.
