Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green and his girlfriend, Draya Michele, have reportedly called it quits following a bizarre public incident in which a bystander mistakenly identified Michele as Green’s mother.
The reported breakup has quickly gone viral, with social media buzzing over the awkward situation. According to sources, the incident occurred when a fan approached the couple and, in a well-intended but misguided attempt at conversation, mistook Michele, 39, for the 22-year-old Green’s mother. Witnesses claim the moment was uncomfortable, with Green visibly embarrassed and Michele left stunned by the misidentification.
While neither Green nor Michele have publicly addressed the split, online speculation suggests that the incident may have contributed to tensions in their relationship. The couple had already faced scrutiny over their 17-year age gap, which had been a frequent topic of discussion among fans.
Michele, a media personality and former reality TV star, has been in the public eye for years, while Green is still in the early stages of his NBA career. The two had been linked for several months, and despite criticism over their age difference, they had continued to share glimpses of their relationship on social media.
Following reports of their breakup, reactions online have been mixed. Some fans have sympathized with Michele, calling out ageist remarks, while others have poked fun at the situation. Meanwhile, Green has remained focused on his season with the Rockets, looking to establish himself as a key player for the franchise.
With no official statements from either party, it remains unclear whether this split is permanent or just a temporary bump in the road. However, one thing is certain—the incident has only amplified the public’s fascination with their relationship.
