Draya Michele and Jalen Green have welcomed their first child together.
Michele shared the happy news with her fans via Instagram earlier today, revealing the emotional journey that led up to the special day. “In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away,” she wrote. “Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth shattering phone call I received that morning.”
She continued, “Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward. Love + Light everyone.”
Draya, 39, first announced her pregnancy back in March on International Women’s Day. In her post, she celebrated the power of motherhood and her enthusiasm about bringing a baby girl into the world with her partner, Jalen, 22.
She wrote, “Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 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. It’s my superpower. And if anything can surpass the wonder of being a woman, it’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence.”
“We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl,” she added. “I’m am excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have. We are anxious about your arrival, but take your time — this world can be tough.”
Draya, 39, and Jalen, 22, who have a 17-year age difference, have been romantically involved since August 2022. Michele already has two sons from previous relationships: son Kniko,22, and another son, Jru,8. Jalen recently welcomed a baby girl in February.
