While Jalen Green and Michele enjoyed Beyonce's performance, they also witnessed the home team Texans suffer a heavy loss to the Ravens, falling 31-2 and dropping to 9-7 for the season. Despite the defeat, Houston still leads the AFC South, ahead of the Indianapolis Colts (7-8), Jacksonville Jaguars (3-12) and Tennessee Titans (3-12).

Meanwhile, Green and the Rockets (20-9) had a day off on Christmas Day. Their last game was on December 23, where they secured a 114-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Next, Houston travels to New Orleans on Thursday to face the Pelicans.

Jalen Green and Draya Michele share a daughter together

Jalen Green and Draya Michele publicly announced their relationship in August last year. In May, they welcomed their first child, a daughter.

Michele, a media personality, actress, and fashion designer, is 39 years old—17 years older than the high-flying Houston Rockets guard Green. Despite their age difference, she sees nothing wrong with it and is proud to say they are making it work, especially now that they have a child they are deeply invested in.

She spoke about being the mother to Green's daughter, writing on her Instgram profile:

"My daughter was safely brought into this world and I'm forever grateful for the new memories we all get to expereince moving forward."

Michelle, however, is not a first-time mother. She has two sons, Kniko and Jru, from a previous relationship with former NFL player Orlando Scandrick.

While she has kept her relationship with Green private, she is a constant supporter, often spotted at his home games.

Jalen Green is having a solid campaign so far this NBA season, leading the Rockets in scoring with 19.1 points per game, along with 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a steal in 29 games, all of which he started.

In October, just before the season began, he signed a three-year, $105.33 million Rookie Scale contract extension with the Rockets, which includes a player option for the 2027-28 season.
