Draya Michele, who announced her pregnancy with NBA star Jalen Green on Friday, posted a quote about “being misunderstood” after facing backlash due to the couple’s 17-year age gap.
“Get comfortable being misunderstood. Only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension,” the post shared via her Instagram Story read.
“Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”
The cryptic message came hours after the “Basketball Wives” alum, 39, shared she is expecting her first child with Green, 22, by posting a carousel of maternity pics in honor of International Women’s Day.
“As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades,” she captioned the post at the time.
Michele — born Andraya Michele Howard — then revealed that she was pregnant with a baby girl, writing that she had the “privilege of bringing another woman into existence.”
“We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl,” she continued. “I’m am excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have.
“We are anxious about your arrival, but take your time — this world can be tough. But know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment.”
While the Mint Swim founder did not tag or share the name of the child’s father, Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma tagged both Green and Michele in his congratulatory comment.
“It’s up familyyy @jalen @drayamichele ❤️,” the professional baller wrote at the time.
