When the pregnancy rumors of Draya Michele picked up steam earlier this year, she gagged social media with teeny bikini photos. But, like Lizzo says all the rumors were true! Draya is pregnant and Jalen Green‘s teammate seemingly confirmed he’s the daddy.
Their names have been trending since Draya set off International Women’s Day by dropping her maternity shoot photos. Those Feb. bikini pics were deep in the archives because Draya is seven months pregnant. And the bump is bumpin’.
Social media has been going nuts since with reactions. Kevin Hart’s ex-wife, Torrei Hart, gave her two cents on the biggest conversation about the relationship: their age gap. Draya is 39 as of January 23, and Jalen Green turned 22 one month ago on February 9th.
But while social media is stressing the gap, Hart says she’s not “mad at Draya at all.” Instead, she threw a lil’ accountability Jalen Green’s.
“I mean listen, I’m not mad at Draya at all. Draya…yeah… everybody in an uproar talking bout ‘Oh my god she old enough to be his mom. Oh my god, his mom probably watch ‘Basketball Wives.’ Yeah, his mother did watch ‘Basketball Wives’ and he probably watched it with her. And that’s why he went after Draya.”
Like some of the online chatter, Torrei Hart suggests Jalen might’ve been the one who went after Draya.
“He wanted some of the cougar, he wanted some of that cougar snatch. He wanted some of that. Don’t get it twisted. Listen, if he wanted to pull out he would’ve pulled out. He did pull out. That cougar had him in a chokehold.”
In January, Draya went viral after she was videoed wearing overalls to one of Jalen Green’s games. Folks online speculated that she was pregnant because of her slight waddle in the clip. Some blamed the walk on her big boots, but it looks like the people chattin’ had this one right!
Jalen hasn’t spoken about Draya Michele’s pregnancy pop-out. But his teammate Kyle Kuzma confirmed he was involved when he congratulated them online. He wrote, “It’s up familyyyy @jalen @drayamichle.”
Keep in mind that neither Draya nor Jalen have confirmed or denied having a romantic relationship in the last few months. When she sat with TSR’s Thembi last year, she chose to keep her relationship information private.
As far as her pregnancy, Draya said in her reveal that her daughter is being welcomed into a “space of love, security, and adornment.”
“We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl. I’m am excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have. We are anxious about your arrival, but take your time — this world can be tough. But know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment.”
We’ve been knowing that Draya wanted at least one more child. She told Thembi during a TSR sit-down that she’s open to having a child, even if it means no relationship, just a mutual understanding about wanting to be parents.
