In a heartfelt social media post, Michele shared the significance of her daughter’s birth date.

The first photo showed a room filled with floral arrangements.
“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,” she continued.

Michele and Green have been romantically linked since August 2023. Green first revealed the pregnancy during a post-game interview in March 2024. Michele later confirmed the news on social media the same month.
“Happy #InternationalWomensDay! As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades. It’s my superpower,” she captioned a March 8 Instagram carousel of her maternity shoot.
Michele has two sons from previous relationships. Her firstborn is named Kniko, and she later welcomed another son, Jru, with former NFL player Orlando Scandrick.
The Doses of Draya star and Green have kept their relationship mostly private, rarely posting photos together online, though they have been photographed together on several occasions. Michele has also shared photos of herself courtside supporting Green.
Throughout her pregnancy, Michele documented her journey on social media, sharing photos of her baby bump since her initial reveal in March.
On April 29, Michele posted pictures from her baby shower.
“Threw an intimate gathering to celebrate the anticipation of ? WILD TIMES AHEAD ? with being a #GirlMom,” she began in the caption.
“You know I had to be different and give an evening candlelit atmosphere, Tuscan Italian food and wine, and music varying from Frankie Beverly to Sexyy Red. Thanks to all of our friends and family who came out to celebrate. It meant the world to us,” Michele concluded.
