Draya Michele and Jalen Green are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby daughter.
The couple, whose surprise pregnancy announcement sent shockwaves through social media last month, celebrated with a cherry-themed baby shower over the weekend.
The “Basketball Wives” alum flaunted her growing baby bump in a stylish red crop top paired with a matching skirt.
On the other hand, Green sported a coordinated red outfit from head to toe, adding to the shower theme.

While the 39-year-old initially revealed her pregnancy news in an Instagram post without explicitly mentioning Green as the father, NBA player Kyle Kuzma’s tagged comment hinted at the truth.
Alongside maternity shoot photos, Michele expressed her overflowing joy at welcoming their baby girl into the world, saying, “If anything can surpass the wonder of being a woman, it’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence,” Michele captioned the maternity shoot snaps.
“We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl. … Know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment.”
Despite criticism, including remarks from Michele’s former co-star Mehgan James regarding their significant age difference, the couple remained excited about parenthood.
Michele chose not to directly engage with the controversy, instead sharing a meme on Instagram Stories about being misunderstood.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old openly expressed his enthusiasm for his expanding family and the approaching arrival of their baby during a courtside interview in the same month.
Despite the negative feedback, the two seem to be embracing the journey of parenthood with a positive outlook, ready to welcome their baby girl into a world filled with love and warmth.
