While Brittney Griner has now been home for about a month, readjusting to life in the United States isn't always going to be easy.

Griner's wife, Cherelle, has opened up about what it's been like with her significant other back home.

The legendary WNBA star returned to the United States after nearly one year in a Russian prison. There is going to be a pretty big readjustment period for Griner, including with her marriage.

Cherelle Griner admitted how things have been going.

"The first night, we didn't sleep at all."

"We just talked all night long and all morning."

"And it was so good to be able to do it without three weeks in between the conversation, because for 10 months we were just passing letters."

"It was great to have that dialogue back and forth."
