Jalen Green, newly traded Phoenix Suns guard, revealed something daring about his partner, Draya Michele. The couple had been together for two years, steady and solid despite the scrutiny around their relationship.
Speaking on a recent episode of “Home Town,” Green didn’t hold back when he said that his “foot fetish” remains the standard of judging women, and Michele, usually unbothered by his boldness, was shocked.
“I mean as a basketball player, I don’t have, you know, good feet,” Green said. “But if you like a girl, or you’re my girl, I’m judging your feet for sure.
“You could be pretty and all, but the first thing I look at is your feet. Like how it was put together. Maybe you call it a foot fetish, maybe you don’t.”

Michele was confused when she heard Jalen Green’s secret. The two notably had a 17-year-old gap, with the former being 40 with three children, while Green, drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2021, is 23.
“Everyday I wake up and I’m don’t how I’m here,” Michele replied. “What I’m doing here because I’m not known for having nice feet. He just happens to like mine.”
Jalen Green didn’t end with sharing confessions. Also in the same episode, he said, “I slid in your DMs,” revealing he made the first move in his relationship with Michele, who responded: “Did everyone hear that!?”
Jalen Green sends love to former team after blockbuster trade
Jalen Green was one of the biggest names involved in the Houston Rockets’ trade that sent him and a bunch of players to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Kevin Durant. However, Green’s love for the Rockets has never ended, as he wrote in a long message in the Players’ Tribune.
“So I’ll miss Houston and all my guys down there, but I’m smiling, man. I get to play basketball for a living. How can I have a bad day? Every day I’m hooping is a good day. H-Town, thank you for the love. For real, thank you. And if I bust y’all ass for 30 next season, just remember the good times!” Green wrote.

Four years in Houston gave Jalen Green room to rise and room to stumble. He put up strong numbers — 21.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.4 assists — but his first taste of the playoffs ended in frustration, as Houston dropped a Game 7 heartbreaker to the seventh-seeded Golden State Warriors. It wasn’t the send-off anyone wanted. But now it’s Phoenix’s turn to find out what Green really is.
