Griner who plays center for the Phoenix Mercury, documented the moment on her Instagram page with a picture of her on one knee, including the sweet caption “Last Night was a Night to Remember. I became the happiest person on this earth! (almost pass out but when that one word came out I came back to life) Me and my baby @missvol25 are in it for Life.” Huffington Post

Griner has become a prominent figure in both the world of sports and in the gay community since coming out last year and starting her professional career with the Phoenix Mercury. Griner’s public coming out paved the way for other professional athletes to have the courage to divulge their sexual preferences and break down the barriers of sexual orientation in the world of sports. Fans can see images of the couples’ engagement by following both Griner and her lady love Johnson @brittneygriner and @missvol25 on Instagram.
