Jalen Green Admits to Sliding Into Draya Michele’s DMs First

Despite their age difference, Draya Michele, 40, didn't reach out to her boyfriend, Jalen Green, 23, first.

The couple, who share a 14-month-old daughter, Lyght Green, took Whistle's Relationship Quiz in a video posted on Tuesday (July 22). Among their questions was whether Michele or Green slid into their partner's DMs first, which the Phoenix Suns shooting guard fessed up to.

"I slid in your DM," Green confessed around the 1:45-minute mark of the video below.

"Thank you. Did everyone hear that?" Michele interjected.

While Green joked that it's the "story" he usually tells inquiring minds, Michele said she was "clarifying things," as some believe that she contacted the athlete first because of their 17-year age gap.

The couple kept the quiz lighthearted, with the former Basketball Wives star calling herself a "better driver" than her boyfriend of two years.

Green and Michele have waved off those critiquing their relationship, with Michele telling TMZ last year that they ignore online negativity.

"I don't know what people's problem is," said Michele in the video below. "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."
