Congratulations are in order for newlyweds Glory Johnson and Brittney Griner.

The WNBA stars, both 24, are expecting their first child, they announced in an adorable Instagram image.

Posting a photo that depicts a bun in the oven, Johnson wrote, “#SUCCESS #BLESSED #WelcomeToTheJohnsonGrinerFamily.”

Johnson opened up about their impending baby joy.

“It has always been a dream of mine to start a family with someone I love,” Johnson said in a statement released by the team.

“Being a professional athlete that plays year-round, there is never a perfect time to get pregnant without putting my career on hold,” she said. “The entire process, from learning our fertility options, to making sacrifices necessary nine months before the child is born, is merely preparing me to become a great wife and an even better mother.”

She added: “Right now, I not only have my health to worry about, but also the health of this little one resting inside of me. Rest assured I will be back next season, stronger and more ready to play than ever!”
