Jayson Tatum’s girlfriend Ella Mai shares adorable never-seen-before childhood picture

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s girlfriend, Ella Mai, took to Instagram to share an adorable image of her on Saturday. The Grammy Award-winning R&B singer posted her never-seen-before childhood picture on a black rocking horse. The picture was from a time when the artist still lived in the UK.

Ella Mai’s recent story

The 30-year-old was born in London to a Jamaican mother and an English father. She grew up in the United Kingdom till the age of 12. In 2006, the former “Arize” member relocated to New York City with her mother, a teacher. The transfer from London to New York was not smooth, as Mai was bullied for her accent when she initially moved.

Ella completed her education graduating from Queens High School of Teaching in Glen Oaks, Queens. Ella returned to London when she was 17. She joined the British and Irish Modern Music Institute starting her music journey.

After years of hard work and failed attempts like the time, she competed on the X Factor. Ella Mai finally found her breakthrough in 2018 as her tracks “Boo’d Up” and “Trip” found global acclaim.
