Considered to be one of the best players in the league right now, Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum has already become a household name in America in his short tenure in the league. The Celtics are currently one of the top contending teams in the NBA this season and large chunk of the credit for that goes to the 24-year-old sensation. While Tatum’s on-court ventures have always remained under scrutiny, his personal life has often been overlooked by the media. Tatum is a proud father to his adorable five-year-old son Deuce, who often accompanies his superstar dad to the Celtics games. However, Tatum’s rumored girlfriend is yet to be introduced to the world.

The Duke university alumnus was selected by the Boston Celtics during the 2017 NBA Draft as the third overall pick. Tatum has played for the Celtics since then and graciously led them to the 2022 Finals as well.

Is Jayson Tatum dating the mother of his son?

Jayson Tatum was only in his rookie season when he became a father. In December 2017, his then-girlfriend Toriah Lachell gave birth to their son Jayson “Deuce” Christopher Tatum Jr. Lachell and Tatum had been dating each other since their high school years but their relationship could not survive for too long. While the couple has decided to keep mum on the details of their breakup, they have seemingly worked out an agreement to co-parent their son, Deuce.

Tatum is currently dating British singer/songwriter Ella Mai. As per reports, the couple is rumored to have been together since 2020 and is still going strong. Mai and Tatum have been spotted together several times by the media and fans. For instance, at the Travis Scott concert and Michael Rubin’s party, both of which took place in July 2022. However, it seems like they are taking their sweet time to confirm their relationship.

Much to fans’ dismay, the rumored couple has seemingly decided to keep their relationship under wraps until they deem it suitable to share it with the world. But who is Ella Mai? And what do we know about her.
