Who is Jayson Tatum's girlfriend? Meet singer Ella Mai, the rumored mother of NBA star's child
Ella Mai may be best known for her breakout hit 'Boo'd Up,' but over the past few years, she's also gained attention for her rumored relationship with Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum. The NBA superstar and Grammy-winning R&B singer have spent years dodging public scrutiny about their relationship. Despite their silence, their ongoing presence in each other's lives has made headlines many times over the years, from the early rumors in 2020 to Olympic sightings with their alleged child in 2024. Their romance may have unfolded mostly behind the scenes, but fans have managed to piece together a surprisingly detailed picture of their relationship. Clues, concerts, and carefully timed appearances Their connection didn't begin with a red carpet debut; it started with overlapping locations and raised eyebrows. In late 2020, viewers noticed Mai livestreaming from a space that looked a lot like Tatum's home, per People. That sparked speculation, but it wasn't the first sign. Months earlier, Tatum had reportedly flown to see Mai perform after a Celtics game. By 2022, they stopped trying to hide altogether. The pair attended Michael Rubin's White Party in the Hamptons and were later spotted at a Coney Island concert. When Tatum brought Mai to teammate Marcus Smart's wedding the next year, guests caught them singing and dancing to her own hit, 'Boo'd Up.' Clearly, she wasn't just a date—she was part of the circle. Olympic cheerleading, baby news, and matching ink Per the publication, Mai showed up courtside in 2024 for some of Tatum's biggest moments, including his NBA title win and Team USA's gold medal match in Paris. The quiet scenes of Mai holding a newborn in a video further hinted at something more personal. Later that summer, Page Six confirmed she and Tatum had welcomed a child. Though the pair didn't make an announcement, a clever Amica Insurance ad showed Tatum juggling dad duties, while a closing shot of three sneakers—adult, child, and baby—drove the message home. More recently, the couple got matching tattoos behind their ears: a tiny '3' meant to symbolize Mai's November 3rd birthday. Tatum has also been spotted with 'Deuce' and 'Dylan' written on his sneakers, possibly revealing the name of their second child.

Heart Split In Two: Jeannie Mai Reveals The Raw Truth Of Co-Parenting Struggles — ‘Harder Than I Ever Imagined'
Jeannie Mai's co-parenting relationship with Jeezy appears to have taken a turn, as she recently offered a candid glimpse into the realities of her current life, openly sharing her struggles and triumphs as she navigates single motherhood. Source: Olivia Wong / Getty Jeannie Mai welcomed her daughter, Monaco Mai Jenkins, with Jeezy in 2022. This arrival marked a significant shift for Mai, who had previously and publicly declared that she was content with never having children. According to Blast, her decision to embrace motherhood came after falling in love with Jeezy, leading her to reconsider her earlier stance on having a family. However, the couple's marital journey proved to be short-lived, culminating in a divorce that was finalized earlier in 2025. As BOSSIP reported, the path to divorce for Mai and Jeezy was marked by a series of contentious 'back-and-forth court proceedings.' During the process, the rapper and his attorney accused Mai of launching a 'defamation campaign' against him. Jeannie Mai's Co-Parenting Struggles: Navigating Life Apart, Loving From Afar Jeannie Mai's co-parenting relationship has presented new challenges, which she shared through a 'vacay dump' on Instagram. Mai openly acknowledged that every time Monaco is away with Jeezy, she uses that opportunity to take a break and reflect on her experiences with this form of parenting. In her own words, 'It's harder than I ever imagined – loving her so much, but loving her from far away. There is no guidebook for this part of motherhood.' Despite the 'crumbling feeling' of missing her child when they are apart, Mai expressed her understanding that it is part of the 'job' and that it is essential to continue loving herself to give Monaco all the love in return. This period of solitude also serves as a crucial reminder that she is a woman with her own needs and deserves happiness. Mai concluded her touching post with these reflective words: 'To every mama sharing her child, this is your reminder; your happiness is not separate from theirs. When you shine, they feel it too.' Becoming a single mother was never what Mai had envisioned when she married Jeezy. However, she has found unexpected balance and empowerment in this new phase of her life. She lauded single mothers who navigate similar experiences, sharing her insights on The Sherri Show . 'You don't ideally think to have a child and have that whole responsibility to yourself. But I realized that the gift of being a single mom is that you learn how to trust yourself,' she stated.

Hit Netflix reality show given a third series with biggest ever prize pot
AN acclaimed Netflix reality show looks set to return for a third series with an even bigger prize pot. Ahead of the premiere of the second series, Netflix has confirmed that Squid Game: The Challenge will also have a third series. The reality competition show was spawned as a spin-off of the acclaimed drama series, Squid Game. In one of TV's biggest jackpots, players have the chance to win up to a whopping $4.56million. It launched with a first series last year and earlier this week, Netflix confirmed that a second series would land in November this year. It is expected that the third series will follow next year. The challenge show has become known for its notoriously tough tasks - some of which have pushed contestants to the limit. One contestant on the first series previously lifted the lid on what filming was like for the programme. Elliott Burgess was number 429 in the show out of a total of 456 players. The Surrey-based contestant reached the second-to-last challenge and secured 7th place when the winner, Mai, discovered his involvement through his suspicious beard scratch. Elliot revealed that contestants were allowed 10 minutes of fresh air every two days and had no contact with the outside world. They had no idea what time it was, as the masked men decided when it was lights out. Elliott assumed he had gotten enough sleep. But he was starving. He recalled: "It was tough because they had to keep it as immersive as possible. It's $4.56m, they're not just going to give you that for free. They had to make it as challenging as possible". Squid Game: The Challenge returns 4th November on Netflix. 3
