Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green isn’t afraid to admit he made the first move when it came to his relationship with Draya Michele — the model, entrepreneur, and mother of his child.
During a recent appearance on Whistle’s “Home Team” relationship quiz, the couple took a playful dive into how well they know each other. One of the standout moments? When asked who slid into whose DMs first, Green quickly confessed — he was the one who initiated the conversation.
“I slid into her DMs,” Jalen said without hesitation, sparking laughter and a smile from Draya, who confirmed his answer with a grin.

“I’ve had a driver’s license his whole life.”
The couple, despite facing some public scrutiny over their age difference, seems completely unfazed — choosing to lean into humor and mutual respect instead.
