Draya Michele and her 22-year-old, Kniko Howard, recently attended a Houston Rockets game to support her man, Jalen Green— who’s also 22—reigniting their controversial age-gap relationship.
Photos and video of the mother-son moment surfaced on Sunday (Jan. 5) while attending the Lakers vs. Rockets game in Houston.
Criticism set social media ablaze. One user tweeted, “This is just sick.. Taking advantage of that young man.. You couldn’t secure a retired athlete or a coach? Jalen is the same age as your son.”
Another commented, “I’d be so embarrassed to have her as a mom.”
There were some who defended the mother of three. “Lol I mean I dated a woman who’s son was my age, it be like that,” the person tweeted, adding, “Bro a grown man, he fine. His mom’s grown, her dude grown lol. I was hype grabbing a milf at the time too and I ain’t have M’s.”
Draya, being 17 years older than Jalen, has already spoken up amid backlash from their relationship.
“We try to stay off the internet and really listen to that kind of stuff,” said the reality TV star to TMZ back in June. Green chimed in, stating, “We also don’t care.”
She added, “We block it out and we mind our business. I don’t know what people’s problem is. 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.”
The two welcomed their daughter, whose name has not been shared, last May.
