Draya Michele is not interested in talking about relationships. Draya, 40, and Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jalen Green, 23, have garnered a lot of attention for their several intimate moments since 2023. The age difference between the two has also drawn equal attention to them.
In response to a Whistle’s “Relationship Quiz” interview in which Draya implied that she and Green have a “mother and son” relationship, TikTok user @boujeebrownskin uploaded a video on Monday, July 28.
@boujeebrownskin Replying to @Draya
According to the TikToker: “You are aware that he is significantly younger than you, and you think it’s a joke,”
“It’s clear you are leaning into this age gap that y’all have, and I think that’s pretty f**king weird.”
After learning about the video, Draya reacted by comparing the criticism to other types of prejudice. Draya stated: “This is AGEIST!!” “No different from being homophobic—you can’t be woke about one thing, babe, and not the other. Discrimination is discrimination. Imagine if somebody told you couldn’t love who you wanted to because they felt like it was ‘wrong.'”
The celebrity pair appears to be doing well despite being 17 years apart in age. This August, the two will commemorate their two years of dating.
