What “outrage” is Draya Michele referring to?
As mentioned, this isn’t Draya’s first time around the parenting block. Before welcoming her first daughter with Jalen Green earlier this year, Michele had two children from two previous relationships. His oldest son, 21-year-old Kniko Howard, is currently in college, and his middle son, Jru Scandrick, is eight years old, by BuzzFeed.
Much of the recent “outrage” the businesswoman has received centers on the age difference between her and the Houston Rockets player (and his proximity in age to his own son). Draya was 39 years old on January 23rd and Jalen was 22 years old on February 9th. timeline of your pregnancyShe was dating and became pregnant with the athlete when he was 21 and she was 38.
The backlash began months before she announced her pregnancy in March, when people were only speculating about her romantic ties. However, it has continued since then. Draya has occasionally clapped back, including earlier this month when her corresponding attacks sent social media into a frenzy.

However, this past weekend marked the first time the couple addressed the negativity together. Paparazzi caught the couple as they headed to a restaurant in West Hollywood, California. Draya was seen pushing her daughter in a stroller and carrying her diaper bag as Jalen slowly walked alongside her — a scene that inspired a new wave of criticism about maturity and the age gap.
That boy looks like Draya’s oldest son walking next to her, not him letting her push the stroller and hold the diaper bag. My G looks like he probably can’t even change a diaper, let alone take care of a child

I’m not blaming Jalen Green for not grabbing a bag or a cart. This is what Draya asked for and this is what she received

I just saw a video of Draya walking with Jalen Green and her pushing the stroller, watching traffic and carrying a bag. Jalen just holding his damn shorts, looking lost.

While Draya told paparazzi that the two try to avoid the internet as much as possible, Jalen clarified that they “don’t care” about comments about their ties or new family.
“I don’t know what people’s problem is. Two adults in love. I don’t know why this would bother people, it’s kind of weird. Love is love in the end,” Draya added.
From the looks of it, Green was likely the photographer behind the new photos she shared with her daughter, as she is wearing the same outfit she wore in the paparazzi video. So despite what Innanet has to say, it looks like Draya and Jalen are still moving forward!
