Chile! Roomies, social media users, have Draya Michele gagged with her deep investments in her personal life! On Friday (June 7), she took a moment to address her Instagram haters. Her stylish applause comes amid a barrage of backlash for her matching outfits with her daughter’s father, Jalen Verde.
Since January, Draya has been in the spotlight over her romantic ties to the NBA player. Most of the online chatter is about the couple’s apparent age difference. Draya Michele is 39 years old while Jalen is 22. She announced her pregnancy on International Women’s Day in March, after surpassing the seven-month mark.
Draya and Green welcomed their daughter on Mother’s Day in May.

Draya Michele shares PSA for her biggest critics
Even before Draya announced her pregnancy, the internet already suspected a relationship between them. She has been seen in his company a few times in 2023. They are yet to officially address their connection or decision to welcome a child.
However, they confirmed their co-parenting status after hosting a cherry themed baby bath for the fetus. Now, they appear to be making no effort to hide that they are having fun and possibly dating while raising their newborn.
Draya Michele and Jalen Green wore matching gray and white tees to a star-studded celebrity event this week. A viral photo showed them posing with singer Miguel, Steelo Brim and Sam Jay.
As the photo circulated on social media, Draya used her IG Story to clear up people’s confusion. She declared that “no photo or video” on Instagram can “detonate” her in the same way that “photos and videos” of her do to people. She called the investment in her life “strange.”
“I want to know if your man, best friend, employer knows that you are typing serial negative shit here? Self-evaluation. What did this comment do for me?
Last year, she told Thembi on ‘Stepping Into The Shade Room’ that she is open to having another child regardless of a relationship. For her, qualifying to co-parent is more about mutual understanding and an investment in being parents.
