Basketball star Jalen Green and model Draya Michele are celebrating the arrival of their baby girl.
Draya shared the joyous news on Instagram, commemorating the bittersweet memory of her father’s passing last year.
“In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away…this Mother’s Day was different,” Draya expressed, reflecting on the contrasting emotions.
The couple’s journey to parenthood was marked by a cherry-themed baby shower in April, adorned in matching red attire.
Despite controversy surrounding their 17-year age gap, the couple eagerly awaited their daughter’s arrival.
Draya’s announcement in March sparked discussions, particularly regarding Green’s rumored children with other women.
Their daughter’s birth follows closely after Green reportedly welcomed another child earlier this year.
Myah Lakopo, the mother of Green’s February-born daughter, maintained a low profile amidst the situation.
Draya, already a mother of two sons from previous relationships, expressed excitement and anticipation for her daughter’s arrival.
Their relationship, though subject to criticism, stands as a testament to their commitment and love.
Amidst the chatter, NBA star Kyle Kuzma extended warm wishes to the new parents, signifying support from their community.
For Draya and Jalen, the arrival of their daughter signifies a new chapter filled with love, light, and cherished memories.
