Ella Mai and Jayson Tatum have become doting parents after welcoming their first child together. The talented singer was seen with a newborn in her arms while posing with the Boston Celtics star and family members in a video that has been circulating on X, formerly Twitter.
In the clip, she is dressed in an oversized Team USA bomber jacket as she holds her baby close to her chest. She was there to support Tatum, 26, who played on the American Olympic basketball team.
Meet Ella Mai and Jayson Tatum’s Child
While fans are excited about news of the baby’s arrival, how the child looks is about all they know. The gender, name, and date of birth of the baby have not yet been made public. Rumors that she was expecting a baby started when the singer looked to be hiding a baby bump while celebrating the Celtics’ NBA Finals win just weeks ago.
However, the singer refused to respond to the claims, and to maintain her privacy, she went radio silent on social media for over six months. Her behavior is not shocking; the “Boo’d Up” hitmaker is known to keep her personal affairs private as much as possible.
