BREAKING NEWS: Ella Mai welcomes first child with NBA star Jayson Tatum after hiding pregnancy from the public
Ella Mai and her speculated partner NBA power forward Jayson Tatum have welcomed their first child together.
The Boo’d Up hitmaker, 29, who first sparked pregnancy rumors in June, carried a newborn in her arms while posing with the Boston Celtics star and family members in a video that surfaced on X, formerly Twitter.
In the clip, she modeled an oversized Team USA bomber jacket — as her bundle of joy rested on her chest — to support Tatum, 26, who played on the American Olympic basketball team. The gender, name and date of birth of the baby have yet to be shared.
Rumblings that she was expecting erected when the singer appeared to be hiding a baby bump while celebrating the Celtics’ NBA Finals win just weeks ago, but she never responded to the claims.
To maintain her privacy, the Trip hitmaker went silent on social media for over six months.

The British singer and the gold medalist can continue celebrating with the birth of their little angel after keeping their relationship under wraps for years.
Fans took to the comments of Ella’s most recent Instagram post to share their thoughts on her secret pregnancy and delivery.
‘I’m so sad she didn’t get the chance to announce her pregnancy. Social media ruins everything; it would have been so cute,’ one follower penned.
Another chimed in, ‘I hope that you announce your relationship soon. They are a beautiful couple. Congratulations on the baby. I feel jealous, LoL.’
One fan quipped, ‘Could’ve at least posted the baby feet and name dang Ella.’
Although they have never publicly confirmed their relationship, the pair have been linked since 2019 when she was spotted sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden when Tatum’s team battled the New York Knicks.
Ella and Jayson were seen together for the first time back in 2022 while attending Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons.
The same year, the X-Factor alum dodged questions about the NBA star during an appearance on The Breakfast Club.
‘There’s rumors that you’re a Boston Celtics fan,’ co-host DJ Envy inquired.
‘Oh really?’ she responded.
‘They say you’re a Boston Celtics fan and possibly dating a Boston Celtic. Is there any truth to that?’ he asked at the time, leading to her response, ‘I’m a basketball fan definitely, but you know I’m not one to talk about my dating life.’
