Age ain’t nothin’ but a number.

Draya Michele shared a meme on her Instagram Stories about what it’s like to date someone younger amid the 39-year-old’s romance with 22-year-old NBA star Jalen Green.

In the clip captioned “When you date someone younger than you,” a woman attempted to fold clothes in her bedroom when her boyfriend came into the room dancing and yelling.

He then jumped up on a stripper pole and did a few twirls before trying to help his girlfriend fold clothes.

After sloppily folding a shirt, the man then told the woman to put her hands up so he could throw some punches. After a few jabs, he gave her a bear hug, kissed her and smacked her on the butt.

After saying, “I love you,” the man exited the room as she continued to fold clothes.

The “Basketball Wives” alum wrote atop the meme, “Love it here.”

The mom of three’s post came hours after she spoke out against people who judged her 17-year age gap with Green.

“We try to stay off the internet and not really listen to that kind of stuff,” she told TMZ while heading out with the Houston Rockets star and their newborn baby girl.

“We block it out and mind our business,” Michele added.

The former VH1 star said she didn’t understand why people had a “problem” with their romance.

“Two adults being in love, I don’t know why that would rub people the wrong way,” she said. “It’s kind of weird. Love is love at the end of the day.”

Michele announced she was pregnant in March in honor of International Women’s Day. The post sparked backlash online and several users labeled the former reality star as a “predator” for having a baby with a much younger man.

“17 years is wilddddd. Having fun with a younger guy is cool bc yall both grown. Having a baby by one that’s the same age as your son speaks a lot about your character as a person,” former “Basketball Wives” star Mehgan James tweeted.

“Oh Draya really thought posting her pregnancy reveal during Women’s month meant that we were gonna congratulate and celebrate her?” added another.

After the criticism, Michele posted about “being misunderstood.”

“Get comfortable being misunderstood. Only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension,” the post shared via her Instagram Story in March read.

“Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”
