There have been rumors circulating on the internet since last year that Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green is dating the famous American model Draya Michele. Recently, Michele took to Instagram to share news about her pregnancy, but she did not mention anything about the child’s father.
However, the internet erupted when Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma tagged Jalen Green and Draya in the comments of the post to congratulate them, making it evident that Green is set to become a father at the age of 22.
Shaquille O’Neal backs Jalen Green in Draya Michele’s relationship
In a recent episode of ‘Big Podcast with Shaq,’ with Bert Kreischer as the guest, co-host Adam Lefkoe asked him if he knew about Green and Draya, who are about to welcome a child into this world together. Kreischer responded by saying that he doesn’t approve of the idea that a much older woman is being intimate with a young man in his twenties.
Shaq, on the other hand, said that it’s fine that Green and Draya are dating and even congratulated the couple for their baby. Shaq Said, “You know what I have to say about that? Congratulations to the both of them. I don’t like being a hypocrite. I used to go for older women too.”
Jalen Green talks about upcoming fatherhood
Jalen Green’s excitement is off the charts, both on and off the court. On Tuesday, Jalen dropped his career-high of 42 points with 10 rebounds and 7 three-pointers against the Washington Wizards, which was the team’s 6th straight win. His recent performance shows how motivated he is because of his impending fatherhood.
After the game, Green stayed on the court for the post-game interview, where he was asked about his recent motivation boost, to which he said, “My family, my baby, so yeah,” acknowledging the fact that he’s going to become a father, even though there was no mention of Michele or his relationship with her.
This entire scenario has made the internet wild, with everyone making their own speculations about it. But it remains undeniable that Green’s form in the last few games is exactly what the Rockets needed a month before the playoffs. He has averaged over 28 points in the last 6 games. The Rockets are just 2.5 games behind the 10th seed.
