Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Singer Ella Mai Welcome Son in 2024, Keep Relationship Private

As of October 2025, Boston Celtics player Jayson Tatum is currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon that occurred during last May's playoffs. Throughout this challenging time, Tatum has had the unwavering support of his girlfriend, singer Ella Mai.

Mai, a UK-based R&B artist, rose to fame in 2018 with her hit song "Boo'd Up," which earned her a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song the following year. Since then, Mai has continued to make waves in the music industry, releasing her second studio album, "Heart on My Sleeve," in 2022.

In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that Tatum and Mai have a son together, born in 2024. The couple has been extremely private about their relationship, rarely making public appearances or acknowledging the rumors surrounding their personal life. However, the birth of their child has sparked renewed interest in their closely guarded romance.

Despite the attention, Tatum and Mai have remained steadfast in their decision to keep the details of their relationship out of the public eye. They have been known to drop subtle hints through song lyrics, social media posts, and occasional joint appearances, but have never officially confirmed or denied the reports of their marriage or family.
