Jalen Green has taken his love for girlfriend Draya Michele to a whole new level. The 22-year-old NBA player recently unveiled a massive tattoo of Draya’s face on his back, sending fans into a frenzy.
39-year-old Draya Michele is not new to the spotlight. She rose to prominence as a cast member on the reality TV show, Basketball Wives LA, and has since established a successful career in fashion with her swimwear line, Mint Swim.
Draya’s relationship with Jalen Green has been the subject of media attention due to their significant age gap. The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2022, and despite their 17-year age difference, they have consistently shown affection for each other on social media.
Draya, who is nearly two decades older than Jalen, has always been open about her confidence and ability to attract her younger beau. In June, she disclosed to the media outlet The Shade Room that they are completely unconcerned about the continued negative comments about their relationship.
When asked about public opinion of their relationship, Draya said they both avoid the internet. However, Jalen responded, “We also don’t care.”
Draya expressed her confusion as to why her relationship with Jalen would be of concern to anyone, saying, “I don’t know what people’s problem is. Two adults being in love. I don’t know why that would rub people the wrong way. It’s kind of weird. Love is love, at the end of the day.”
Jalen’s most recent tattoo is another testament to his strong feelings for her.
The tattoo covers a portion of Green’s back right below his shoulder blades and is a massive portrait tattoo of her iconic look from a Mint Swim photoshoot.
The daring move has fans buzzing, with some praising Jalen for his devotion and others wondering if the young star is moving too quickly.
For context, Draya is 39 years old, whereas the Houston Rockets basketball player is 22.
