Jalen Green has officially introduced his daughter, Lyght Green, to the world right before Father’s Day.
On Saturday (June 14), the 22-year-old Houston Rockets star posted a heartwarming photo carousel featuring his and Draya Michele’s baby girl dressed in coordinating Burberry looks. The two posed in various photos having play time and reading a book. “Fatherhood but make it fashion @burberry dad #ad,” he captioned the post.
In a since-deleted Instagram Story, he added the sweet note: “Daddy’s girl,” while tagging the luxury brand. Draya also posted a photo of Jalen and Lyght on her own Instagram Story, simply wishing him a Happy Father’s Day.

Draya confirmed their daughter’s name by tagging Lyght’s Instagram page in The Shade Room’s comment section, writing “My daughter @lyghtgreen says hello.” According to Instagram, Lyght has reportedly had her own account since she was just six weeks old.
Though their relationship sparked online controversy due to their 17-year age gap, Draya and Jalen have appeared to be family focused and in love. In a previous interview with SportsTalk790, Green opened up about fatherhood, calling it “great” and praising their daughter as “beautiful, healthy, and amazing.”
Lyght is his second child, as he welcomed another daughter with social media influencer Myah Lakopo back in February.
For Draya, who announced her pregnancy last year, she shared that the arrival of her daughter came at a time that was deeply emotional for her. She revealed that she gave birth on Mother’s Day 2024 — a date that had been painful since losing her father on the holiday three years prior.
“Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth-shattering phone call I received that morning,” she wrote. “Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward.”
The former Basketball Wives LA star is already mom to two sons, ages 21 and seven, from previous relationships.
