‘Scandrick Crying Rn’: Draya Michele Seemingly Moves on From a Relationship, and Fans Bring Up Ex-Fiancé

Former “Basketball Wives” star Draya Michele officially moves on.

The reality tv mogul and entrepreneur posted a picture on her Instagram page of her lying down on her new white carpet with moving boxes behind her.

She posed for the camera with one hand behind her head, and captioned the photo with, “My move was so successful. 🏡 Thank you so much @northstarmoving for being on time, reliable, and professional!!!!!!”

Michele split from her longtime fiancé, free agent NFL player Orlando Scandrick, last year around the Christmas season. She posted in a now-deleted IG Story, “I have been single for the entire month of December, so if anyone has anything to say about me or the guy I used to be engaged to, save it. We don’t care. Merry Christmas.”

The pair formerly lived together, so fans took to the ‘Gram to express how they felt about Michele’s big move.

“It feels great don’t it ,” a fan said.

Another user said, “Well I guess the break up is official.”

“Scandrick crying rn,” a third user wrote.

“Do you miss Orlando yet,” a fan asked.

“Congratulations on your next chapter,” a user commented.

“😍🙌🏽😍Blessings draya 🙏🏽”, said another fan.

Michele and Scandrick originally began dating in 2013, but the pair had a history of breaking up and getting engaged multiple times throughout the course of their relationship.

The pair first split in 2014 after Michele called Scandrick out on Instagram for flirting with other women. Fans believe the reason for their 2014 break-up was due to Scandrick’s infidelity.

According to The Blast, the couple got back together after the incident and Scandrick proposed to the model in 2015 with a $400,000 engagement ring. The engagement was broken off after Scandrick accused Michele of throwing bleach at his eyes, chucking a candle at him, and pepper spraying him during an incident. The longtime Dallas Cowboys cornerback served Michele with a restraining order.

Scandrick eventually dropped the restraining order and the couple rekindled their relationship. They welcomed their baby boy, Jru Scandrick, in 2016. The reality star has another son from a previous relationship, and Scandrick also has twin daughters outside of the son Scandrick and Michele share.

Despite her breakup, Michele appears to be focusing her energy on her clothing business. The model released her swimwear line Mint Swim in 2011 and is celebrating the success of her line by throwing a Mint Swim Pool Party in the Bahamas on Monday, Feb. 17.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
