Announcing the birth of her twin baby girls, the basketball star took to Instagram early Monday morning. Along with a collage image she wrote:
"Babies Ava Simone & Solei Diem arrived on Monday! Born a little earlier than expected, I have No Worries because these babies are fighters just like I am! We all know God makes NO mistakes and by his Grace, everything will work out for the greater good. We will continue to trust God as they are in his hands. Continue to keep us Lifted because there is Sooo Much Power In PRAYER!!!"
Text on the image reveals the girls were born at just 24 weeks gestation. Ava and Solei each weighed 1 pound, 7 ounces at birth.
In June the first-time mom announced she was expecting by sharing, "It's not a surprise for me because this is what we planned for with the IVF Cycle, though hearing their hearts beat for time was the most ASTONISHING thing I have ever heard in my ENTIRE LIFE."
The baby news came just weeks after Glory married girlfriend and fellow basketball player Brittney Griner, but the pair split just 29 days after exchanging vows. Glory told Us Weekly she was "truly really saddened" by the end of their short marriage," and "was not expecting to have [it] end so abruptly."

Congratulations to Glory on the birth of her girls, and best wishes for them to grow healthy and strong!
