Ella Mai and Jason Tatum are pretty private about their relationship so when the songstress was seen last night supporting Jayson after the Celtics win the rumor mill started to spin again.
According to PEOPLE the couple were first linked in late 2020 when eagle-eyed viewers spotted Mai in a familiar location during the singer’s Instagram livestream.
The background matched Tatum’s home, which fans caught a glimpse of when he posted his first TikTok in March 2020.
But seeds of a relationship may have been planted in 2019.
Tatum reportedly flew to Mai’s Baltimore show hours after a Celtics game and Mai was spotted courtside as the Celtics took on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
In 2022, Mai visited The Breakfast Club ahead of the release of her sophomore album, Heart On My Sleeve. While promoting the project, conversation turned to her basketball fandom and potential relationship with Tatum.
“There’s rumors that you’re a Boston Celtics fan,” teased DJ Envy. “Oh really?” Mai replied.
“They say you’re a Boston Celtics fan and possibly dating a Boston Celtic. Is there any truth to that?” DJ Envy asked.
After questioning the source of his information, Mai politely declined to discuss her personal life.
“I’m a basketball fan definitely, but you know I’m not one to talk about my dating life.”
Last night after the Celtics won the NBA championship fans could not help but notice Ella’s alleged bump under her Celtics Jersey.
The Celtics were out at a club in Boston where they got to celebrate the big win and neither party has confirmed anything.
Twitter of course has already set the rumors in stone:
