Jalen Green hasn’t played yet in the 2025-26 NBA season. Having been dealt to the Phoenix Suns in the Kevin Durant trade, the young star has dealt with some big changes. However, despite not being on the court, he has managed to go viral on social media.

Green and his girlfriend, Draya Michele, aren’t strangers to being talked about. Michele is 40 years old, which has led to people questioning her relationship with the 23-year-old Green. It seems his love for her is stronger than ever, though, he recently got a giant tattoo of her face on his back.

A video of Green and his tattoo went viral on social media, and fans can’t resist trolling the NBA star.

“That age gap, combined with the permanent ink, is wild. Hope it works out for them though,” wrote one fan. “Got to be up there with the most regrettable tattoos ever,” said another.

“Love so strong he turned his back into a billboard of commitment,” a third fan said. “This tattoo is going to be his worst nightmare when they break up, can’t believe he’s done this,” a fourth commented.

“Quit hating on bro. He loves his girl. Nothing wrong with that,” a fifth fan said, defending Green. “I’m not hating, it’s just always a bad idea to get a partner tatted like this when you’re 23 years old,” a sixth fan said.

A tattoo like that is certainly a statement; clearly, Green is committed to his girl. Whether it works out for them or not in the long run will decide how this decision ages. For now, the young star should be locked in for the Suns as he tries to reset his fledgling NBA career.
