Jalen Green reveals what motivates him

“My family, my children”

This simple answer appears to be the first time Jalen Green has acknowledged the recent news that his girlfriend, Draya Michele , is pregnant.

Since dating Green romantically in 2023, the model and actress have faced backlash due to their 17-year age difference. Draya Michele is even considered a “predator” by some, including Joe Budden , who referred to her as such in an episode of his Joe Budden podcast .

While the two have remained quiet about their relationship, Michele recently responded to the criticism. In a recent cryptic social media repost on her Instagram Story, the Basketball Wives LA alum described herself as “misunderstood” while urging strangers to mind their own business.
