Draya told TMZ Sports, "I don't know what people's problem is. Two adults being in love? I don't know why that would rub people the wrong way."
"It's kind of weird," she added. "Love is love at the end of the day."
Draya also said she and Jalen tend to block out the negative things people say about them in general.
"We try to stay off the internet and not really listen to that kind of stuff," she shared.
"We also don't care," Jalen added.
