Draya Michele’s five-word response to boyfriend Jalen Green’s $106 million extension

Draya Michele has been criticized for her relationship with Houston Rockets star Jalen Green, but the couple isn’t letting outside noise get between them. And now they’re celebrating even more.

Draya, 39, and Green, 22, started dating in August 2023 and were immediately turned on due to their 17-year age difference.

The couple pushed aside the negative attention and made it clear that the haters wouldn’t come between them. “We try to stay off the internet and not really listen to that stuff,” Draya told TMZ at the time. “We block it and mind our business.”

She responded with five simple words on Instagram: “Congratulations!!! Term short. Money lonnnnng!”

During his three-year career with the Rockets, Green averaged 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
