Draya Michele and Jalen Green are putting rumors to rest after their heated New York City dispute went viral. The couple, who made headlines for a late-night argument outside The Manor hotel during New York Fashion Week, have now shown fans a much softer side of their relationship.
Draya Michele & Jalen Green Go Public With Affection
On Saturday, the 40-year-old Basketball Wives alum shared affectionate photos with the 23-year-old Phoenix Suns star. In one image, Draya wrapped her arms around Green and leaned in for a kiss, as captured by The Shade Room. The sweet moment came from a fight party in NYC celebrating the Terrence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez match.
Draya followed up with an Instagram Story video, reposted by Hollywood Unlocked, showing the pair sitting closely together. Green leaned in and kissed her cheek, sparking a big smile from Draya.
Making Light Of Their Viral Argument
Just a day earlier, Draya and Jalen had gone viral after a video surfaced of them arguing in the streets of SoHo. The footage showed the couple in a heated exchange around 2 a.m. on Friday, September 12, with friends trying to de-escalate the situation. At one point, Jalen allegedly shouted “I hate you!” at Draya, while she continued to chase after him during the argument.
Despite the viral moment, Draya appeared unbothered afterward, posting a photo of the memed Jet2holidays logo on her Instagram Story — suggesting fans shouldn’t take the situation too seriously.
Relationship Under Scrutiny
Draya and Jalen’s romance has been under the microscope since going public, largely due to their 17-year age gap. Draya, a mother of three, welcomed a daughter with Jalen last year, while also raising her two older sons from previous relationships.
Still, the couple continues to present a united front despite criticism. Their latest social media posts suggest they’re focused on love and not the outside noise.
