PHOTO: Jalen Green's girlfriend Draya Michele sticks to the grind on Day 1 of new year
Jalen Green has put a lot of work into his fourth season with the Houston Rockets. As 2025 commences, his significant other is showing that she's all about the hustle as well.
In an Instagram story, Green's girlfriend Draya Michele let the world know that she was being productive on the first day of the new year:
"Day 1," read the caption for the story, which showed Michele getting one leg on a treadmill.
Just as Jalen Green (19.4 ppg, 41% from the field) has been prolific in his scoring for the 22-11 Houston Rockets this season, Michele has been busy in the fields of acting, fashion design, and social media content.
On top of this, the 39-year-old Michele is a mother of three. During her eldest son's birthday last week, she shared photos of some much-needed self-care even as the boy celebrated his special day.
Regular exercise, of course, is a form of self-care, meaning that her decision to get on the treadmill at the start of 2025 bodes well for the former "Basketball Wives LA" star.
Draya Michele has taken her son Jru to watch Jalen Green play
On multiple occasions, Draya Michele has watched Jalen Green live in NBA action. There were times, however, when her live attendance was made even more special by the presence of one of her children.
In early December, the actor and fashion designer took her eight-year-old son Jru to a Houston Rockets home game. (Jru is Michele's child with Orlando Scandrick, a former NFL cornerback.)
Green and Michele do have a child together: Peace Moira, who was born on no less than Mother's Day back in May 2024. Speaking to "The Athletic" six months after Peace was born, Green offered perspective on where he was as a man and as a professional.
"I have a family now. I’m not a rookie anymore…" said the 22-year-old guard, who is of Filipino-American descent. "Coming into the league, it was a little different, especially with the Rockets organization. We were losing and in a rebuild. Now, we’ve found ourselves and the goals we’re trying to achieve."
With the Rockets currently in third place in the Western Conference, Green and his teammates are looking forward to bringing Houston back to the playoffs. To do this, Jalen Green will have to put in the hard work — just like his girlfriend does in her own fields of interest.
