JAYSON TATUM SHOCKS FANS WITH SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT TO ELLA MAI — CELTICS STAR SECRETLY PLANNING LAVISH WEDDING
In a move that has stunned fans and set social media ablaze, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is reportedly engaged to British R&B singer Ella Mai. The couple, who have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, are said to have quietly taken the next step in their romance — and are already planning a lavish, star-studded wedding.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Tatum popped the question in an intimate, private setting surrounded by close friends and family. While neither Tatum nor Mai has publicly confirmed the engagement, insiders claim the singer has been spotted wearing a stunning diamond ring — a possible sign that the rumors are indeed true.
“Jayson wanted to keep things low-key,” a source told People magazine. “He’s a private guy when it comes to his personal life, and Ella is the same way. But they’ve been serious for a while, and he wanted to do it right.”
The couple has reportedly been dating since 2020, though sightings and public confirmations have been rare. Despite their efforts to stay under the radar, fans began speculating about the relationship after Ella Mai was seen courtside at several Celtics games and even spotted spending time with Tatum’s family during the NBA off-season.
Now, with the NBA Finals heating up and the Celtics looking to clinch their next title, Tatum’s engagement comes as an added surprise — and a happy distraction for fans amid the playoff pressure.
As for the wedding, sources say the couple is pulling out all the stops. Though no date has been officially set, Tatum and Mai are said to be considering venues in both the U.S. and the U.K., with the ceremony likely to take place sometime in 2025.
“Jayson wants a big celebration, something classy but not over-the-top,” the source added. “They’re talking about a guest list filled with NBA stars, music industry heavyweights, and close family.”
Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, praising the couple for keeping their relationship grounded and private in the spotlight-heavy world of professional sports and entertainment. Others have noted how refreshing it is to see a celebrity couple value discretion and genuine connection over media hype.
Ella Mai, known for her Grammy-winning hit “Boo’d Up,” has continued to rise as a powerhouse in contemporary R&B. Tatum, meanwhile, is in the prime of his career and is widely regarded as one of the NBA’s most talented and marketable stars.
While the couple has yet to make an official announcement, insiders suggest that a joint statement or photo drop may be coming soon — possibly after the Celtics’ playoff run concludes.
For now, fans are left buzzing over the unexpected engagement, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in what is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about celebrity love stories of the year.
