Jayson Tatum and Ella Mai are at the center of public attention for the right reasons. On Monday night, Tatum clinched his first NBA championship after his team, the Boston Celtics, defeated the Dallas Mavericks 106-88. Mai was every inch the supportive girlfriend as she showed up at the TD Garden Arena to witness her man’s huge career milestone. A viral video after the victory showed the R&B songstress wearing Tatum’s No. 0 Celtics jersey while out with a few friends. However, what captured fans’ attention was that Ella Mai looked pregnant.
The alleged baby bump was also visible in a second clip, which showed Mai walking down a hallway at the Arena. The Boo’d Up singer fanned herself with a piece of paper before hugging one of Tatum’s teammates. Shortly after The Shade Room shared the clips on TikTok, fans flooded the comments section with their thoughts.
