AceShowbiz - Houston Rockets star Jalen Green is finding inspiration both on and off the court, driven by the love of his family and the upcoming arrival of his first child.
Following a career-high 42-point performance in a victory over the Washington Wizards, Green revealed his motivation, "My family and my baby."
The 22-year-old's girlfriend, Draya Michele, announced her pregnancy with a baby girl due in May. Green has a tattoo of his girlfriend's name, "Draya," on his lower stomach.
Michelle is already a mother to two sons: Kniko, 21, and Jru, 7. The identity of Kniko's father is unknown while Orlando Scandrick is the father of Jru.
Green's pregnancy announcement sparked controversy due to the couple's 17-year age gap. Michele has faced criticism on social media, including being labeled a "predator" by Joe Budden.
In response, Michele posted a cryptic message on her Instagram Story about being "misunderstood." She urged others to mind their own business and emphasized that she is being seen clearly by a higher power.
Green's focus remains on his family and his career. He has not publicly addressed criticisms over his age-gap relationship with Michele, but his recent comments suggest that the couple is excited about the future.
