REALITY STAR turned fashion designer Draya Michele has been open about the ups and downs of being a mother.
Draya Michele has two sons but for a long time, the father of her oldest child was a mystery.
Who are Draya Michele’s baby daddies?
Draya Michele has two children. She welcomed her youngest son, Jru Scandrick, in 2016, with her ex-fiancee and former NFL player Orlando Scandrick.
For years, many rumors circulated surrounding the paternity of her oldest son, Kniko Howard.
Many, including Draya’s Basketball Wives co-star Jennifer Williams, believed that former NBA star Gilbert Arena was Kniko’s father.
There were also rumors that Draya had received around $40,000 in child support, which she denied.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Draya said in a now-deleted tweet, “At 17 years old I got pregnant by a man who became incarcerated for 10 when I was 7 months pregnant.”
“With help from my mom, I was able to survive. Now, judging by how under-developed and young I was, besides living in a very small city in PA….. There’s no way in 2002 I got pregnant by some athlete.”
“If I had, there’s not a chance in fucking hell I would have wasted 7 years of my life working “in the club” because clearly child support would be on fleek.”
“I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that’s ok.”
“I have also NEVER attempted to say anyone other than who my son is named after (yes he’s a junior) was the father.”
She also revealed that Kniko’s father was living in Pennsylvania and earning an honest living as a barber.
Who else has Draya Michele dated?
Draya Michele has been romantically linked to many successful men.
She is dating Houston Rockets star Jalen Green. Green is 18 years younger than Michele.
It is rumored that she is expecting her third child with Green because of her clothing at a recent Rockets game and the way she walked.
Draya dated NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor before linking with the Rockets guard.
She dated Orlando Scandrick from 2015 to 2019. The two were even engaged until they parted ways.
She was also reportedly involved with rapper The Game from 2012 to 2013 and Chris Brown in 2010.
