Jayson Tatum, a prominent player for the Boston Celtics, accomplished a noteworthy feat when his club won its 18th NBA championship, its first since 2008. Celtics Nation celebrated the achievement of ending the 16-year drought, including Tatum’s rumored girlfriend Ella Mai.

Tatum reportedly started dating singer Ella Mai back in 2019. But it took the couple two years to publicly appear together. The pair seems to be preparing for a possible new journey together.

In a brief video on X, Mai congratulates Al Horford on his victory. Fans have noted that Mai appears to be pregnant. Even though the video is only four seconds long, admirers could see the noticeable baby bulge.

Ella Mai was spotted online in videos and pictures sporting Jayson Tatum’s number 0 Celtics jersey. These videos, shot amid the Celtics’ post-championship festivities, showed Mai with a substantial baby bulge, leading to speculation that the couple was expecting their first child together.

Modern R&B, soul, and elements of Mai’s Irish and Jamaican ancestry define her musical career. Under the 10 Summers label, Mai released three EPs between 2016 and 2018: “Time,” “Change,” and “Ready.” With nominations for Song of the Year and Best R&B Song at the Grammy Awards, “Boo’d Up” proved to be very popular; Mai took home the latter title.

 

Jayson Tatum’s career is at a peak right now, just before this possible new phase. He looks to be enjoying a fulfilling personal life in addition to his professional accomplishments, having recently won his first NBA championship with the Celtics.

Jayson Tatum and Ella Mai’s Public Debut as a Couple Was During Marcus Smart’s Wedding

Although they have mostly kept their relationship quiet, Jayson Tatum’s girlfriend has gone on several significant occasions with him. One of them occurred last year at a former teammate’s wedding.

On September 16, 2023, Marcus Smart, a player for the Memphis Grizzlies, and Maisa Hallum, his longtime lover, married at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, California. Tatum and a few other former Boston Celtics colleagues were present to witness Smart’s wedding.

Mai went to the opulent celebration with the famous sportsman. The two looked great in green together. In one photo, Tatum is seen holding a court with a small group of people, his arm over her shoulder.

If Ella Mai is indeed expecting, Jayson Tatum will have two children. Deuce, his seven-year-old son, is well-known to most. Before and after games, he is frequently spotted in the Celtics locker room and on the floor. This year is truly a blessing for Jayson Tatum and his family.
