Since bursting onto the scene as a star of Vh1’s Basketball Wives, Draya Michele and her relationship history has been a topic of tabloid fodder. The reality television personality and fashion mogul has a personal life that has intrigued fans and media. From her early days in the spotlight to her current endeavors, Draya’s dating history paints a picture of growth and the complexities of love.
Dashawn Stevenson
One of Draya Michele’s first public relationships was with NBA player, DeShawn Stevenson. The two were together during the peak of Stevenson’s basketball career, but their romance was brief. According to Black Sports Online, the pair were first linked in 2011. However, their relationship did not last long.
Orlando Scandrick
One of Draya’s most notable relationships was with NFL star Orlando Scandrick. They started dating in 2013. Their journey was marked by love and publicized drama. Two years later, they became engaged, with Draya announcing her pregnancy shortly after.
Despite their strong bond, the couple faced several breakups and reconciliations. In 2019, Draya and Orlando decided to call it quits for good, marking the end of a significant chapter in her life. They share a son, Jru, born in 2016, and Draya has often spoken about their efforts to co-parent.
Tyrod Taylor
In 2020, Draya began dating another NFL athlete, current Jets back-up quarterback Tyrod Taylor. They frequently appeared in public together, openly displaying their romance for all to see. And while the relationship seemed to be going strong, they parted ways in 2023 and their split was messy. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Draya sued Tyrod for breach of contract for refusing to adhere to a verbal agreement to sell her one of his homes.
The reality star claimed that Tyrod purchased a home in Los Angeles in 2022, and agreed to let her live there. Draya alleges that in January, she agreed to pay the NFL star $3.2 million for the home after he countered her initial offer of $2.8 million. Draya claims Tyrod reneged on their agreement and has since threatened to evict her from the home.
Jalen Green
Since 2023, rumors have romantically linked Draya to Houston Rockets player Jalen Green. They have been spotted together at various events, and Draya often attends the athlete’s games. Despite the speculation, neither publicly confirmed their relationship. At least until she revealed a baby bump, and the rumors essentially became undeniable.
Draya recently shared a joyous update on Instagram, revealing they have welcomed their first child together.
She posted a heartfelt message alongside a glimpse of their newborn daughter on Instagram. “In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away,” she wrote. “Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth shattering phone call I received that morning. Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward.”
The relationship isn’t without scandal though. She’s received a lot of backlash on social media because of the couple’s age difference.
