**HOUSTON, TX –** Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green and entrepreneur Draya Michele have welcomed their first child together, a daughter, on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2024. The couple, who first became public in August 2023, have kept details of their daughter’s life private, including her name and photograph, but have shared their immense joy and excitement about parenthood.
Michele, a former star of “Basketball Wives LA,” announced the birth on Instagram, sharing a poignant message reflecting on the bittersweet significance of the date. In 2021, she lost her father on Mother’s Day, making this year’s celebration especially meaningful. The new arrival is Michele’s third child; she also has two sons, Kniko and Jru, from previous relationships. Kniko recently graduated from college, while Michele maintains a relatively private life for Jru.
Green has openly expressed his happiness about fatherhood, describing his daughter as “beautiful, healthy, [and] amazing.” He even attributed a career-high 42-point performance against the Washington Wizards in March 2024 to the inspiration of his family, particularly his newborn daughter.
The family recently celebrated Michele’s birthday with a luxurious vacation to Mexico, with photos showing the happy family enjoying the sun and sea. While the couple remains largely private about their family life, their shared joy over their daughter’s arrival is palpable.
