Baller baby.
“Basketball Wives” alum Draya Michele, 39, announced she was pregnant and expecting a baby girl with 22-year-old Houston Rockets star Jalen Green.
“Happy #InternationalWomensDay !” she captioned an Instagram carousel filled with pics of her growing baby bump on Friday.
“As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades,” she added.
“It’s my superpower. And if anything can surpass the wonder of being a woman, it’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence 🎀.”

Michele — born Andraya Michele Howard —said she is “overjoyed” to share her love for her baby girl at seven months of pregnancy.
“I’m am excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have,” she wrote. “We are anxious about your arrival, but take your time — this world can be tough. But know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment.”
Though the former reality star did not tag or name the father of her child, rumors have been surfacing since last year that she and Green — who signed a four-year, $40.8 million contract with the Rockets in 2021 — were dating.

Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma tagged both Green and Michele in his congratulatory comment, writing, “It’s up familyyy,” in her comments section.
Fans suspected she had a baby bump when she was spotted leaving a Rockets Game wearing denim overalls.
Additionally, a few eagle-eyed fans found Michele’s hand and black-and-white Adidas sneaker in the back of the NBA star’s birthday post last month. (Michele posted pictures wearing the same sneakers and nails on her Instagram on the same day as Green.)
Michele is also mom to son Kniko, 21, whose father is unknown to the public, and son Jru, 7, whom she shares with former NFL star Orlando Scandrick.
The Mint Swim founder has been linked to several A-listers over the years, including Chris Brown, New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor and rapper The Game.
