Congratulations to Houston Rockets’ NBA star Jalen Green and Draya Michele on the arrival of their baby girl. Draya shared the happy news on Instagram on Friday, posting photos of several bouquets of white roses and an image of their daughter.
“In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away. Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth-shattering phone call I received that morning,” she wrote. “Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward. Love + Light everyone,” she added.
Michele and Green announced in March that they were expecting a child together, a revelation that sparked some controversy due to their 17-year age difference; Green turned 22 in February, while Michele is 39. The couple celebrated with a cherry-themed baby shower in April, wearing matching red outfits.
The former Basketball Wives LA star has two sons, 21-year-old Kniko and 7-year-old Jru. Green is rumored to have two other children from previous relationships.
