Jalen Green and his girlfriend, Draya Michele, are starting a new chapter as parents.
On May 12, 2024, the Houston Rockets star and the former Basketball Wives LA star welcomed their first child together. (Michele is also a mom to two sons from previous relationships.)
"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 on Instagram.
Michele continued, "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."
Green and Michele have been romantically linked since August 2023. However, they're very private about their relationship and have never posted about each other on social media.
Here is everything to know about Draya Michele and her romance with Jalen Green.
She starred on Basketball Wives LA
Michele is no stranger to the world of professional sports. She has had several relationships with athletes, including former Washington Wizards player Gilbert Arenas, leading to her appearance on the show Basketball Wives LA.
The model has also been engaged twice — to New York Jets player Tyrod Taylor and former Dallas Cowboys cornerback, Orlando Scandrick.
She has three children
On May 12, 2024, Michele and Green welcomed a daughter — their first child together. The reality star is also a mom to son Kniko from a previous relationship and son Jru, whom she shares with Orlando Scandrick.
On International Women's Day in 2024, Michele announced her third pregnancy with a series of photos featuring her baby bump.
"As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades," she wrote on Instagram.
Michele went on, revealing the sex of her and Green's baby.
"If anything can surpass the wonder of being a woman, it’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence," she added. "We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl. I'm excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have."
Michele didn’t share the name of the baby's father but NBA player Kyle Kuzma revealed that Green was the father with his comment, “It’s up familyyy @jalen @drayamichele ❤️," per Page Six.
Green shared that he was going to be a father in a post-game interview following the Rockets game against the Wizards in late March 2024.
He listed “my family [and] my baby” as his priorities after scoring a career-high 42 points, per Page Six.
She attends Green's games
Green and Michele haven't shared much about their relationship. When she was a guest on Stepping Into the Shade Room in September 2023, Michele was asked about her love life and said she would rather keep that information private.
However, the pair were seen out and about together in August of 2023. They have yet to make their relationship Instagram official but Michele has posted photos of herself courtside supporting Green.
Green has her name tattooed on his stomach
Page Six reported in March 2024 that Green has Michele's first name tattooed on his stomach. The news broke when he posted a sweet tribute to his sister on his Instagram Stories.
Fans were able to zoom in and see the name "Draya" tattooed on his lower stomach. Neither Green nor Michele have commented on the artwork publicly.
