Ever since making things official with Jalen Green last year, Draya Michele has been faced with tremendous backlash for their large age gap. Green is 22 years old while Draya is almost two decades his senior at 39. Regardless, they've been going strong for several months now, and pregnancy rumors began to circulate earlier this year. Draya confirmed she was expecting in March, only compounding the relentless criticism.
Today, she finally announced the birth of their daughter in a sweet Instagram post. According to her, she arrived just in time for Mother's Day. In her post, Draya explained that she learned of her father's passing on Mother's Day a few years back, making it difficult for her to celebrate the holiday in the following years. Now, however, the tragic memory has been replaced with a positive one.
