Jayson Tatum Is Not Married – He Has His Son's Mother and a Rumored Girlfriend

The constant loves in Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum's life are his mother and son Jayson 'Deuce' Tatum Jr. They both feature heavily on his social media accounts. The small forward is less forthcoming about his rumored link to British singer Ella Mai.

Jayson Tatum has been linked to three women throughout his burgeoning career; the mother of his son and high school girlfriend Toriah Lachell Mimms; scorned college lover Samie Amos; and Ella Mai, a Grammy Award-winning vocalist.

Mimms gave birth to their son on December 6, 2017. He is a dedicated father and only lives off endorsements to save his NBA salary for his family's future.

Jayson Tatum and Ella Mai's Rumors

Dating rumors have followed Mai and Tatum since early 2019 when, now deleted, footage emerged of him at her Baltimore concert hours after he played a game for the Celtics in Boston, according to Heavy.

The coupled also looked fresh walking together at businessman and philanthropist Michael Rubin's Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons in 2022. The blink-and-you-miss moment is captured in a video posted by entrepreneur Will Makris.

They are believed to have started dating in October 2020, during the NBA's off-season, per HITC. Neither has addressed the rumors.
