Ella Mai and NBA star Jayson Tatum have welcomed their first child together, marking a milestone for the couple who have kept their relationship under wraps for years.
The 29-year-old British singer, known for her hit “Boo’d Up,” sparked pregnancy rumors in June. A video recently surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) showing Mai holding her newborn while posing with Tatum and family members.
In the clip, Mai is seen wearing an oversized Team USA bomber jacket, supporting Tatum, who is part of the American Olympic basketball team. Despite the public speculation, the couple has yet to reveal the baby’s name, gender, or date of birth.
Rumors of Mai’s pregnancy began when she appeared to be concealing a baby bump while celebrating the Boston Celtics’ NBA Finals victory. Mai, who has been notably private about her personal life, went silent on social media for over six months, fueling further speculation.
Fans have expressed mixed emotions, with some lamenting that social media robbed her of the chance to announce her pregnancy in her own way, while others eagerly await confirmation of her relationship with Tatum. The pair, linked since 2019, were first spotted together publicly in 2022, though they have never officially confirmed their romance.
Tatum, who also shares a six-year-old son with his ex-girlfriend, recently celebrated the Celtics’ 18th NBA title, further solidifying his legacy both on and off the court.
