Jayson Tatum, widely recognized as one of the most promising young talents in the basketball world, has not only captivated fans with his on-court skills but has also become a subject of interest regarding his personal life, including his romantic relationships.

 

Amidst various relationships in recent years, one constant has been the presence of his charming son, Deuce, whom he shares with his former girlfriend, Toriah Lachell—a relationship that began when Tatum was just 19 years old. However, in more recent times, Tatum has been romantically involved with the talented British R&B sensation, Ella Mai. Let’s delve deeper into Jayson Tatum’s relationship with Ella Mai.

 

Ella Mai had already established herself as a prominent figure in the music industry before her connection with Tatum became widely known. The 26-year-old artist, born in London, England, to a Jamaican mother and an Irish father, made a significant move to New York City at the age of 12, completing her high school education in Queens.

 

Her musical journey commenced in 2014 when she enrolled at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. Although her early stint on the 11th series of the X Factor as part of the trio ‘Arize’ did not lead to long-term success, it marked the beginning of her pursuit of a solo career.

 

In 2015, Ella Mai’s solo career gained traction with the release of a four-track EP titled ‘Troubled’ on SoundCloud. Notably, her talent caught the attention of DJ Mustard on Instagram, leading to her signing with his record label, 10 Summers Records, in collaboration with Interscope Records.
