Draya Michele and Jalen Green are giving the world a first look at their baby girl, Lyght Green.
On Saturday, the proud parents shared photos featuring Jalen and Lyght posing together in matching Burberry looks. The images were posted on Jalen’s Instagram, Lyght’s personal page, and also appeared on Draya’s Instagram Stories.
“Fatherhood but make it fashion @burberry dad #ad,” Jalen captioned.
Lyght was born on May 12, 2024, a day that holds deep personal significance for Michele. The model and entrepreneur shared the emotional meaning behind Lyght’s arrival in an Instagram post shortly after giving birth.
“In 2021, on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away,” Michele 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.”
In addition to Lyght, Draya is also mom to sons Kniko and Jru. She welcomed her eldest, Kniko, in 2002 when she was 17 years old. Her second son, Jru, was born in 2016 with former NFL player Orlando Scandrick, to whom she was previously engaged.
Now adjusting to life as a girl mom, Draya recently opened up to ESSENCE about the shift after years of raising boys.
“I’ve always wanted a daughter and I really lost hope about it. I was just like, oh, I guess I’m not going to have any more kids. I guess I’m never going to get my daughter. And then boom, I had a daughter and it has just been everything I imagined and more.”
The mom of three continued, “Before she was born, I felt like I was going to have almost like a tomboy flair to parenting her because I’m not super girly, but here I am, everything’s pink, everything has a bow, everything is so girly and feminine, and yeah, I changed even personally.”
