• Green, 22, is almost the same age as Draya’s oldest son
• The couple is reportedly expecting their first child together

Houston Rockets star Jalen Green has been trending for the past week for all the controversial reasons.

The 22-year-old basketball star is dating 39-year-old Draya Michelle, and the couple is reportedly expecting a child together.

Draya made the announcement official in an Instagram post on International Women’s Day, drawing a wave of criticism from online users.

The backclash was so bad, that the former Basketball Wives star had to turn off comments on her post.

Many of her critics accused her of getting pregnant by a young, promising athlete for the money, while others questioned her morality for deciding to have a baby with a man who was almost the same age as his firstborn son.

“Misunderstood”

One of Draya’s latest Instagram posts also alluded to the fact that many people misunderstood her.

As reported on Page Six, one of her Instastories this week 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.”
