Ella Mai Serenades Her Man Jayson Tatum on Valentine’s Day… Confesses Her Love to the Celtics Champ With a Song!
Valentine’s Day 2024 just became one for the books as R&B sensation Ella Mai took center stage to publicly profess her love for NBA superstar Jayson Tatum in the most romantic way possible—through music. The Grammy-winning songstress, known for her sultry voice and heartfelt lyrics, surprised fans and the Celtics star with an intimate, soul-stirring serenade, making their relationship the talk of the town.
A Love Song for a Champion
In a video that has now gone viral, Ella Mai, 29, was seen seated at a grand piano, softly playing the intro to what appeared to be a reimagined version of her hit song “Boo’d Up.” With the lights dimmed and a bouquet of roses sitting nearby, she looked directly at Tatum as she sang:
“Boy, you got me in my feelings, I can’t hide it, it’s true…
Every game you light up Boston, but my heart’s lit up for you…”
The heartfelt lyrics, clearly customized for Tatum, left the Celtics forward visibly moved. Cameras caught the NBA champion, dressed in a sleek designer suit, smiling and shaking his head in disbelief at the beautiful tribute.
An Unforgettable Night of Love and Music
The event, hosted at an exclusive private venue in Boston, was a Valentine’s Day celebration attended by close friends, family, and a handful of high-profile guests. Sources say Ella Mai planned the surprise performance for weeks, ensuring every detail was perfect.
“She wanted to make this moment as special as possible,” a close friend revealed. “They’ve been keeping their relationship relatively low-key, but tonight was her way of letting the world know just how much she loves him.”
As she finished the song, the crowd erupted into applause. Tatum, clearly touched, stood up, walked over, and wrapped Mai in a tight embrace, whispering something into her ear that left her grinning from ear to ear.
Fans Go Wild Over the Public Display of Affection
Social media exploded with reactions to the romantic moment, with fans dubbing the couple “relationship goals.”
“Ella Mai just gave us the most iconic Valentine’s Day moment ever! Jayson Tatum, you lucky man!” one Twitter user wrote.
“I need someone to write me a song like Ella Mai did for Tatum. This is some next-level love!” another fan posted.
The performance also reignited debates about whether Tatum and Mai are the NBA’s top power couple. With Jayson leading the Celtics toward another championship run and Ella continuing to dominate the R&B charts, the duo seems unstoppable both on and off the court.
How Their Love Story Began
Jayson Tatum and Ella Mai were first linked in 2020, when the “Trip” singer was spotted attending multiple Celtics games. However, the pair kept their romance under wraps, rarely making public appearances together. Over the years, fans pieced together subtle clues—from matching Instagram posts to secret vacation sightings.
It wasn’t until 2023 that they were officially seen together at a high-profile event, confirming the long-speculated romance. Since then, the couple has been seen supporting each other’s careers, with Mai frequently attending Celtics games and Tatum showing up at her concerts.
A Future Together?
With this grand romantic gesture, fans are now wondering if wedding bells could be in the couple’s future. While neither Tatum nor Mai has publicly addressed engagement rumors, their latest Valentine’s Day celebration has only fueled speculation.
“Jayson and Ella seem to be deeply in love. If this doesn’t scream ‘future husband and wife,’ I don’t know what does,” one source close to the couple shared.
Regardless of what’s next, one thing is clear: Ella Mai and Jayson Tatum just set the bar for Valentine’s Day romance, and fans are here for it!
