23-Year-Old Jalen Green Shows Massive Back Tattoo of His 40-Year-Old Baby Mama Draya Michele
Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green is facing a new wave of intense public scrutiny after photos circulated online showing a massive back tattoo believed to be a portrait of his 40-year-old girlfriend, model and entrepreneur Draya Michele. The rumored new ink has reignited the firestorm of criticism surrounding the couple’s significant 17-year age gap and their decision to start a family.
The tattoo, a detailed portrait of a woman’s face, was spotted on the 23-year-old Green’s back and quickly went viral across social media platforms. Fans and commentators immediately identified the image as a depiction of Michele, further cementing the couple’s relationship in the public eye—a dynamic that has been controversial since they went public in 2023.
Age and Family Draw Fire
The backlash surrounding the couple is complex and often harsh, centering primarily on the age discrepancy. Critics frequently take to social media to warn Green about the risks of committing so publicly to an older partner and have repeatedly accused Michele of preying on the young NBA star.
The most pointed criticism has been directed at Michele, who is also a mother to two sons, with her eldest son, Kniko Howard, being the same age as the NBA player. Since the couple welcomed a daughter in May 2024, social media has been unrelenting, with many users questioning Michele’s morals and the awkward dynamic of having a partner the same age as her child.
“Being the same age as your step dad is diabolical man,” one user commented on a popular discussion thread, reflecting a sentiment shared by thousands. Another popular online opinion suggests that Green, having achieved financial success early in his career, is being exploited.
Couple Remains Unfazed by Critics
Despite the sustained online criticism, Green and Michele have consistently maintained they are unfazed by public opinion. In interviews, they have dismissed the controversy, emphasizing their love and commitment to each other.
Michele has previously addressed the negativity head-on, at one point comparing the “ageist” criticism to homophobia. Green has also been quoted as saying they “don’t care” about the online chatter and simply “mind our business.” The new tattoo is being viewed by many as the ultimate symbol of that defiant, private commitment, publicly rejecting the thousands of social media warnings they receive daily.
However, the latest move has only amplified the public debate, turning the personal choice of body art into a cultural flashpoint about celebrity relationships, morality, and the double standards applied to age gaps involving women.
