The R&B singer Ella Mai sparked a rumor that she is trying to avoid the social media presence and her song release because she is pregnant with her rumored boyfriend, NBA star Jayson Tatum, when she has not publicly accepted him as her partner.
If we were to look back, a Twitter user claiming that his dad saw Jayson Tatum in a baby shower in April 2024 led fans to fire up the rumors. He said that Jayson had a baby with a famous singer.
The ongoing dating rumors between them gave basis to assumptions that the person was none other than Ella and started giving meaning to her disappearance from social media since February 2024.

However, Ella Mai’s isolation from socials is not new; she has also done it before.
She was not always active on Instagram; her follow-up posts sometimes had a gap of around 1 month, while other times, they were 2 to 3 months.
Meanwhile, neither Jayson nor Ella Mai has either accepted their relationship or reacted to the pregnancy news. So, it is safe to say that Ella Mai is not pregnant with Jayson’s baby at the moment.
Their fans would love to support their new journey if they revealed the news themselves.
This is a conclusion from the available sources and news, so any new revealation would be appreciated.
Ella Mai and Jayson caught up in the dating rumor on and off since 2019
The Boo’d Up singer Ella Mai has not given many scoops regarding her relationships, as her only rumored partner was American singer Kehlani for a short period in 2018.
Ella’s relationship led many to assume that she might be lesbian. However, the appearance of Jayson Tatum in Ella’s life debunked the rumor in 2019.
News sources have that fans noticed Jayson in one of Ella’s concerts right after his game in Boston.
Also, in 2020, claims came forward that Ella’s Instagram live was from Jayson’s bedroom.
At the time, Jayson was already a father to his 6 year-old son Jayson Chroistopher Tatum Jr., nicknamed Deuce, with his ex-girlfriend Toriah Lachell.
They were together from 2014 to 2017 and are now co-parenting Deuce. The Bolton Celtics player also dated Samantha Amos from 2017 to 2018, but they broke up on bad terms.
Now, the leading prospect for Jayson’s girlfriend is Ella Mai. They made their first public appearance in 2022 at a party by Michael Rubin on July 4th.
Another public encounter between Jayson and Ella Mai was in September 2023 at Jayson’s friend Marcus Smart’s wedding in a matching green dress.
Despite all these evident meet-ups, nothing is for sure, as both have kept their relationship details private.
