Draya Michele, 39, Having MAJOR Complications In Her Geriatric Pregnancy by Jalen Green, 22!
Draya Michele took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to update fans and followers amid the third trimester of her pregnancy.
“I feel like I am at the bottom of a pile of heavy humans,” the Basketball Wives alum wrote. “Most hours of the day I feel like I am struggling to breathe.”
Michele announced that she was expecting a baby with Houston Rockets player, Jalen Green, 22, about a week ago.
“Happy #InternationalWomensDay!” she wrote alongside a series of baby bump photos, last Friday.
The 39-year-old added — “As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades.”
Michele said that she felt “overjoyed” to be sharing her thoughts on her baby daughter as she neared the finish line.
Michele, whose birth name is Andraya Michele Howard, did not mention or tag her boyfriend’s name in her post, but Washington Wizards player, Kyle Kuzma, tagged both Michele and Green when he shared his well wishes in the comment section.
Michele’s pregnancy reveal went viral as fans called her out for getting pregnant by a man 17 years her junior. Online critics pointed out that her boyfriend was around the same age as her 21-year-old son, Kniko.
Former “Basketball Wives” star, Meghan James, sounded off about the situation on X, writing — “17 years is wilddddd. Having fun with a younger guy is cool bc yall both grown. Having a baby by one that’s the same age as your son speaks a lot about your character as a person.”
The former reality star disabled the comment section of her pregnancy post before sharing a meme that addressed “being misunderstood.”
The meme posted on Michele’s Instagram Story read — “Get comfortable being misunderstood. Only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension.”
“Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”
Green has yet to publicly address his girlfriend’s pregnancy. The athlete, who signed a 4-year, $40.8 million contract with the Rockets, in 2021, was seen with the VH1 personality multiple times last year, sparking romance rumors. Fans later noticed that Green had Michele’s name tattooed on his stomach.
Michele shares another son, Jru, 7, with NFL player, Orlando Scandrick. Green and Michele’s daughter is due in May.
