Prince Harry ‘Will be BARRED From Attending Princess Diana Bodyguard Funeral’ as Brother William and Dad Charles ‘Don’t Want Him Overshadowing Tributes With Drama’

Prince Harry might be in London for a two-day hearing, but he’s not getting much love or attention from the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex has reportedly been banned from attending the funeral of the much-loved bodyguard of Princess Diana, who was with him on the same day he learned that his mother was no more.

Radar Online shared how his father, King Charles, and older brother William don’t want the Duke of Sussex’s presence to overshadow the tragic occasion.

The senior royals have informed Harry that his attendance could turn the send-off for Graham Craker in the UK into an unseemly circus.  Therefore, he should remain in the US and pay his final respects through prayers and well wishes for the departed soul and his loved ones.

One palace insider shared how it was communicated to Prince Harry that his arrival at the send-off for Graham Craker could detract from the solemnity of the entire occasion.

Therefore, it’s suggested that he stay and commemorate his life without any kind of distraction. The decision reflects the desire that the royal family has to honor Mr. Craker appropriately and uphold the dignity of the royal family’s public engagements.

Celtics post best road record in franchise’s history

The 2024-25 Celtics are one of the best road teams in NBA history.

Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Joe Mazzulla discuss what it’s like having Celtics fans takeover away arenas.

The Boston Celtics fell to the Orlando Magic in their final road game of the 2024-25 season Wednesday night, but the defeat won’t keep them out of the franchise’s record books.

Their 33-8 road record this season is the best in franchise history. They came just one win shy of tying the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors for the best road record in the history of the NBA.

That’s quite a feat, especially when you consider that Warriors team won a league-record 73 games in the regular season before ultimately losing to LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

The Celtics also set a franchise record for the most road wins and best road win percentage in a season in franchise history.

2024-25: 33-8, .805 win percentage
1972-73: 32-8, .800
1974-75: 32-9, .780
2007-08: 31-10, .756
1959-60: 23-9, .719

In addition to the records explained above, the Celtics also finished with a plus-9.3 scoring margin on the road, which currently ranks No. 3 all-time behind the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers and this season’s Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have three road games remaining, so Boston could jump back to No. 2 all-time by season’s end.

LA Lakers, 1971-72: 11.3 road scoring margin
Oklahoma City Thunder, 2024-25: 9.6
Boston Celtics, 2024-25: 9.3
New York Knicks, 1969-70: 9.1
Chicago Bulls, 2007-08: 8.2

The Celtics did not secure homecourt advantage throughout the 2025 NBA playoffs. They’ll finish the regular season with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and the third-best record in the league. The C’s wouldn’t have homecourt advantage if they met the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals and/or the Thunder in the NBA Finals.

So it’s encouraging for the Celtics that they are such a good road team and can play at a high level without the tremendous boost the TD Garden crowd provides. They might need to lean on their road dominance at some point in the postseason.

Kanye West Claims He’s Never Performed At Super Bowl Halftime Show Because Of Taylor Swift

Kanye West is reigniting his beef with Taylor Swift.

West believes Taylor Swift is the reason he has never been invited to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

On Monday, West took to X, formerly Twitter, to share several reasons why he claimed he was banned from the Super Bowl to his 33.3 million followers.

He would eventually delete his comment.

Kanye West has never headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, though he did co-headline a pre-Super Bowl concert with Rihanna in 2015.

This past February, Kendrick Lamar became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show became the most-watched in history, drawing 133.5 million viewers, surpassing Michael Jackson’s 1993 performance.

Despite being offered the opportunity, Taylor Swift has not performed at the Super Bowl halftime show.

It appears that Kanye West is salty that he has never been asked.

After his comments regarding Jay-Z and Beyoncé, he is unlikely to ever be invited.

Kanye West and Taylor Swift have been beefing for quite some time.

Swift and West’s tumultuous relationship started when he crashed her 2009 Video Music Awards acceptance speech and declared that Beyoncé “had one of the best videos of all time.”

It only got worse from there.

Years later in 2016, West released his song “Famous,” which featured the line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.”

Nikola Jokic Joins The Lakers To Create Big 3 With LeBron James & Luka Doncic In Blockbuster Trade Proposal That Would End The NBA

A massive trade proposal has the Los Angeles Lakers, essentially, guaranteeing themselves multiple championships by landing Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic to help eBron James and Luka Doncic.

In what will go down as one of the most stunning in-season NBA coaching firings of all time, the Nuggets 

Denver sits fourth in the Western Conference with a 47-32 record, 1.5 games behind the Lakers for the third seed. Even if they finish fourth, Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets would get a favorable first-round matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.

There’s no clear-cut indicator that Jokic actually wants out of Denver, but search “Jokic Lakers” on X/Twitter, and you’ll find wild fan speculation about the three-time MVP joining the Purple and Gold.

The FanDuel Sportsbook proposed a blockbuster trade idea that has Denver sending Nikola Jokic to the Lakers in exchange for Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Dorian Finney-Smith, Dalton Knecht, a 2031 first-round pick plus 2028 first-round pick swaps:

The Lakers already pulled off one shocking blockbuster deal by getting Luka Doncic from the rival Mavericks in February. If they could somehow land Jokic as well, you may as well put the Lakers down as the 2026 and 2027 NBA champions.

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the consensus favorite to win 2025 NBA MVP honors, but Jokic is certainly having himself another fine season that has Denver in the playoff mix.

Jokic is averaging 30 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. If the Nuggets endure another deep playoff run, the fans in Mile High City needn’t worry the slightest about Jokic wanting out.

Stunning Revelation: Princess Diana’s Tomb Opened After 27 Years — The Findings Leave the World in Awe

Stunning Revelation: Princess Diana’s Tomb Opened After 27 Years — The Findings Leave the World in Awe

In an unprecedented and historic development, the tomb of Princess Diana—beloved globally as the “People’s Princess”—has been officially opened 27 years after her tragic death. The discovery has captivated global attention and reignited conversations around the enduring mysteries of her life and untimely passing.

For nearly three decades, Princess Diana’s final resting place remained untouched within the serene grounds of the Althorp Estate, her family’s ancestral home. A site of reflection and reverence, it drew millions of admirers who regarded her as a symbol of grace, compassion, and resilience.

However, lingering doubts and conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of her death—and even the authenticity of her burial—persisted. Under growing public demand and in an effort to bring closure to decades of speculation, both the royal family and relevant authorities approved a carefully managed exhumation.

What was uncovered during the process has left experts and the public alike in a state of profound astonishment. While specific details remain under review, the findings have added new dimensions to the narrative surrounding Diana’s legacy, prompting renewed media scrutiny and public interest across the world.

This decision, rarely made by the royal establishment, underscores the commitment to transparency and the enduring significance of Princess Diana’s impact on modern history.

LeBron James Becomes Mattel’s First Kenbassador with His Own Ken Doll That Captures His Style — and Height!

The doll also marks the first Ken doll of a professional athlete

LeBron James is making history yet again.

The basketball legend, 40, has teamed up with Mattel to become the brand’s very first Kenbassador and launch his very own doll. The collaboration is in partnership with the LeBron James Family Foundation and also marks the first Ken doll of a professional athlete.

The Los Angeles Lakers power forward worked with Mattel to design the doll’s outfit, which features some meaningful touches; a custom varsity jacket over the LeBron James Family Foundation’s signature We Are Family T-shirt, Nike Terminator High sneakers, Beats headphones, sunglasses, a fanny pack, a watch and his perennial “I Promise” band.

The patches on his varsity jacket reference milestones throughout his life, including a We Are Family patch as a tribute to the LeBron James Family Foundation, a “23” patch representing his iconic jersey number and an Ohio patch nodding to his home state.

“As a young kid, I was fortunate to have role models who not only inspired me but also showed me what’s possible through hard work and dedication,” James says in a press release. “Now, as an adult, I understand how vital it is for young people to have positive figures to look up to. That’s why partnering with Barbie to release the LeBron James Kenbassadors doll is such an honor.”

He continues, “It’s an opportunity to recognize the powerful impact of role models who instill confidence, inspire dreams, and show kids that they, too, can achieve greatness.”

“Ken is Barbie’s longtime best friend and supporter,” Krista Berger, senior vice president of Barbie and global head of dolls, Mattel, shared via the release. “We are excited to bring fans a new presentation of Ken that celebrates LeBron as a role model, his icon status, lasting impact on culture, and dedication to setting a positive example for the next generation to reach their limitless potential.”

The Barbie movie spurred a newfound appreciation for the iconic doll, the brand notes, “recontextualizing the Barbie universe, including Ken.” Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of the character made a lasting impact on audiences, even earning him an Oscar nomination.

The newfound Kenbassador title brings the character of Ken to fans in a whole new way ahead of Barbie’s 65th anniversary in 2026.

The Barbie Signature LeBron James Kenbassadors doll will be available at select Target stores and online at Target, Amazon, Walmart and Mattel Creations for $75 starting Monday, April 14 at 12 a.m. ET.

King Charles, Queen Camilla’s unconventional bedroom arrangement is secret sauce to staying together

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have figured out the secret to a successful marriage, and it may have something to do with where they sleep.

“They have known each other since [they were] very young and are great friends. There is no competitive edge between King Charles and Queen Camilla,” British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. “Devoted Queen Camilla totally supports her husband in everything he carries out (although she would like him to slow down work wise slightly).”

Chard added, “They have also sussed out the best sleeping arrangements. At Clarence House, they are privileged to have their own bedrooms as well as their shared bedroom.”

Not only do the couple have separate bedrooms, but they also stay in separate homes for some healthy alone time on occasion, according to royal experts.

Chard told Fox News Digital, “They are both independent people. They don’t live in each other’s pockets, spending a healthy chunk of their time apart in their country homes.”

She added, “Camilla enjoys time with her many friends and family and Charles values private work and creative time.”

Royal biographer and Majesty magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Seward said the royal couple actually “spend quite a lot of time apart,” with Camilla going to her country home, Ray Hill, in Wiltshire each weekend, according to The Sun.

The home “is Camilla’s sort of release from royal life, if you like,” Seward said. “Before she married Charles, she made a pact with him that she would keep Ray Mill house as her bolthole. She goes every weekend when she can, and she goes during the summer so that she can spend some time with her grandchildren and her children, and it’s something that’s away from the whole royal world.”

Seward said that Camilla often doesn’t go with the king to his Gloucestershire estate, Highgrove, at all, “unless she and Charles are entertaining together.”

She said that Camilla escapes to Wiltshire because “she needed somewhere where she could actually relax and just be herself, and slope around in dirty jeans if she wanted to, and not be constantly monitored.”

Charles, likewise, will often go to Highgrove or Sandringham while she’s at Ray Mill, but they spend the week together in London at Clarence House.

The royal couple is celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this week, and they shared photos during their state visit to Italy, looking loved-up during a photo shoot at a villa in Rome.

“They have also sussed out the best sleeping arrangements. At Clarence House, they are privileged to have their own bedrooms as well as their shared bedroom.”

— Helena Chard

“As we begin our first visit to Italy as King and Queen, we are so looking forward to celebrating our twentieth wedding anniversary in such a special place – and with such wonderful people! A presto, Roma e Ravenna!” the couple shared on their Royal Family social media account on Monday.

Charles and Camilla finally married on April 2, 2005, after decades of forbidden love.

“Charles and Camilla’s colorful love story began in the ’70s, although they didn’t tie the knot until 2005,” Chard told Fox News Digital. “They are a match made in heaven and are celebrating 20 years of married bliss. However, life wasn’t always as peachy.”

She said Camilla was Charles’ first love, but she married British Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973 and Charles famously went on to marry Princess Diana in 1981.

Their marriage was “complex, fraught, full of trials and tribulations,” Chard said. “Trouble started brewing pretty much at the beginning of their marriage, largely due to a third person in their marriage, namely Camilla Parker Bowles.”

“Scandal ensued,” she added. “She was loathed by the general public and named every negative scathing name in the universe. She was known as ‘the Rottweiler’ to the late Princess Diana. However, even Princess Diana eventually realized that Camilla was the only woman for Charles. She recognized that Camilla was Charles’ rock. In a funny way, she made her peace with Camilla as she recognized Camilla brought out the best in Charles.”

The late Queen Elizabeth II gave her blessing for Charles and Camilla to marry in 2005, which they did in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall.

Both of Charles’ sons, Princes William and Harry, attended their father’s wedding. The queen didn’t attend the ceremony but she and Prince Philip were at a St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle for the Church of England Service of Prayer and Dedication after the nuptials.

“They have come through, and I’m very proud and wish them well. My son is home and dry with the woman he loves,” the queen reportedly said at their wedding reception.

The wedding came nearly a decade after Charles’ divorce from Diana and her untimely death.

Eventually, public sentiment toward Camilla softened.

“If a book was released about Charles and Camilla ‘from scandal to well-respected monarchs,’ sharing tips on their now perfect marriage, the book would fly off the shelves,” Chard joked. “Everyone is after a bit of their special gold dust and, as such, it is definitely the hot topic of conversation.”

She added, “Everyone who comes into contact with Queen Camilla mentions what a lovely, big-hearted, generous person she is. She is a strong, straight-forward character and gets on with things without fuss. She is known for her great conversational skills and has a similar ethos to King Charles. She wants everyone to feel included and part of the bigger picture. At private and public events, she makes sure she engages in a relaxed fashion with as many people as possible and always takes time to wave and smile at the camera.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams called the relationship a “marriage of two minds.”

“Over the five decades since they first met in 1970, they have experienced so many highs and lows together, and this last year must surely have been ‘brutal,’ to use Prince William’s descriptive term for a year in which both he and Catherine were diagnosed with cancer,” he told Fox News Digital.

Fitzwilliams said that “It is commonly accepted that they have both benefited enormously from being of similar age, sharing the same sense of humor, having the same friends and, broadly, a similar outlook on life.”

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that the couple’s relationship had “navigated a remarkable, highly orchestrated, journey from scandal-plagued beginnings and public loathing to their current roles as appreciated sovereigns.”

“What they shared, especially in their early years, but what has also endured, are their mutual love of horse country life, rural passions in general with her earthy humor bringing him down to earth,” she said. “To this day, they maintain separate residences (Clarence House and Ray Mill) while presenting a united public front. Perhaps this unusual domestic separation has assured their endurance.”

Meghan Markle Reveals Her ‘Scary’ Experience with Postpartum Preeclampsia on New Podcast

The Duchess of Sussex and guest Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble, spoke about the realities that come with being working moms

Meghan Markle is opening up about the realities of new motherhood — including her experience with postpartum preeclampsia — in the debut episode of her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, launched her new show on Tuesday, April 8 via Lemonada Media, kicking things off with a powerful conversation alongside her first guest and close friend, Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, 35.

As the two discussed the delicate balance of motherhood and career, Meghan revealed that both she and Wolfe Herd experienced postpartum preeclampsia, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition marked by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine shortly after giving birth, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“We both had very similar experiences — though we didn’t know each other at the time — with postpartum, and we both had preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia,” Meghan shared.

Meghan didn’t clarify whether the condition occurred after the birth of her son, Prince Archie, 5, or her daughter, Princess Lilibet, 3. Wolfe Herd, meanwhile, is a mother to two sons.

“It’s so rare and so scary,” Meghan continued. “And you’re still trying to juggle all of these things, and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly. And in the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people – mostly for your children — but those things are huge medical scares.”

Wolfe Herd agreed, saying: “I mean life or death, truly.”

The Bumble founder and CEO recalled Meghan and Prince Harry’s decision to introduce their newborn son, Archie, during a public photocall just two days after his birth in May 2019 — a royal tradition also followed by Princess Diana and Kate Middleton.

“I mean, I’ll never forget the image of you after you delivered Archie, and the whole world was waiting for his debut,” Wolfe Herd said. “I was either just becoming or about to become a new mom, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, how is this woman doing this? How is this woman putting on heels and going and debuting a child in this, you know, beautiful outfit in front of the entire world?’”

“I could barely face a doorbell delivery for takeout food in a robe,” she added, prompting a laugh from Meghan.

Meghan also reflected on balancing work and home life, revealing, “We became moms in the pandemic, post-pandemic culture, where there is so much working from home… I don’t leave the house to go to an office; my office is here.”

“Lili still naps, she gets picked up early and she naps,” she continued. “She only has a half day in preschool. If she wakes up and wants to find me, she knows where to find me, even if my door is closed to the office. She’ll be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives… I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want to miss those moments. I don’t want to miss pickup if I don’t have to. I don’t want to miss drop-off.”

The Duchess of Sussex added, “What I do love the most about having young kids, in this chapter while I’m building [business], is the perspective that it brings because you’re building something while your child’s going through potty training…and both are just as important…It’s like, ‘Great, okay, where’s the Cheerios? Well done.’ And then you’re championing your team 10 minutes later about something that is really high value for the world. In your own world, that’s super high value. And in [Lili’s] world, that’s super high value.”

Wolfe Herd then shares, “Technology is a beautiful tool for parents because you can dial in and be present and do a great job on the call while you sit in the carpool line outside school. Like, why do I need to be at a desk? I have the same mental opinion in a carpool line.”

The Duchess of Sussex and Lemonada Media announced on March 13 that Confessions of a Female Founder would focus on her entrepreneurial journey launching the As ever lifestyle brand (which sold out its first batch of products last week) and feature candid conversations with fellow female founders over eight episodes.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Meghan shared how other female founders have inspired her on her entrepreneurial journey.

“What’s been meaningful is being able to talk about my own entrepreneurial journey with other female founders who are either on their own trajectory of growth or have IPO’d, sold, or created high-impact brands and gone through all of the learning curves that we all do at the start,” the Duchess of Sussex said.

“You’re just trying to figure out how to walk, then you want to learn how to run, and then you want to learn how to fly. All of those things take time. There’s also something very exciting and energizing about learning something new as we get older,” she continued. “The entrepreneurial journey, for anyone, is a lot, and I’m also really, really lucky that so many of my close friends are female founders that I can glean advice from.”

Meghan wrote in a March 13 Instagram post, “I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses. They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As ever. It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring…and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?)”

The new podcast is Meghan’s first project since she announced her partnership with Lemonada Media in Feb. 2024, after she and Prince Harry parted ways with Spotify.​

Confessions of a Female Founder marks Meghan’s second show as a podcast host, following Archetypes, which aired in 2022. Archetypes — which welcomed guests like Mindy Kaling, Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey to debunk stereotypes surrounding women — topped Spotify’s international charts and won a People’s Choice Award.

Millie Bobby Brown Hits Back at Tabloids Saying ‘She Looks 40’: ‘You Did Meet Me When I Was 10’ and ‘My Face Grew. What Do You Want Me to Do About That?’

Millie Bobby Brown is continuing to speak out against the tabloid media, particularly when it comes to criticizing her appearance in relation to her age.

In the latest episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the 21-year-old “Stranger Things” star told host Alex Cooper that the press “love to go in on me with certain things,” including saying “that I look a lot older” and pointing out changes in her British accent.

More from Variety

“A thing that I get a lot is like, ‘Oh my God, she looks like 40,’” Brown said. “And I’m like, well yeah, you did meet me when I was 10, so I understand. Now I’m 21, it’s been 10 years. She grows. My face like, grew. What do you want me to do about that?”

However, Brown said that the constant scrutiny “really actually doesn’t bother me.”

“I wish I could be like, ‘You know what, it does get to me.’ It used to get to me, it did … And I remember trying to change myself to please the masses,” she said. “And actually now, I’m in a place where, yeah, my accent does change. My face does grow. I do wear a lot of makeup. It’s just the kind of person I am.”

On March 3, Brown posted a video on her Instagram calling out specific members of the press for “bullying” her and “dissecting my face, my body, my choices.”

“I started in this industry when I was 10 years old,” Brown wrote in the caption to the video. “I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on ‘Stranger Things’ Season 1. And because I don’t, I’m now a target.”

Speaking to Cooper on “Call Her Daddy,” Brown said that kind of treatment “should never be OK” and she’s “disgusted” by it.

WHERE IS THE BUZZ

“I can’t believe it still happens. And if I can do anything to change it, I would,” she said. “If I had a genie wish, I really would wish that no one ever had to go through that kind of scrutiny because it changes the kind of person you are. It changes the way you perceive the world. You see the bad in everyone, you don’t see the good. You’re like, ‘What are your intentions, what are you going to say about me?’”

She concluded that “the press just need to be taught manners again,” adding: “I think they need to go back to school and learn how to speak to people, be kind and just understand that we’re all growing people, we all make mistakes. Ultimately, the standards and stigmas against girls, it’s ridiculous.”

Brown has been making the press rounds lately to promote her new Netflix film “The Electric State,” which she stars in alongside Chris Pratt. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” Brown also gave insight into why she decided that now was the right time to speak out against her portrayal in the press.

“I kind of kept making excuses, like it’s just not the right time or I shouldn’t do it, people are going to respond badly. And then I realized, I just keep making excuses because I’m afraid,” Brown said. “And when is the right time for a woman to stand up for herself? And actually, I can’t wait any longer.”

Jayson Tatum: NBA Superstar Makes the World Admire His Journey to the Top and His Role as a Great Father!

Jayson Tatum is a superstar on the court—a dominant scorer, an elite playmaker, and the face of the Boston Celtics. But beyond the bright lights of the NBA, Tatum embraces a role even more important to him: being a father.

At just 19 years old, Tatum entered the league as a rising star. But at the same time, he stepped into another life-changing role—becoming a dad to his son, Jayson “Deuce” Christopher Tatum Jr.

Now, years later, Tatum’s career has skyrocketed, and so has his bond with his son. His journey as a father has captivated fans worldwide, making him one of the most relatable and admired athletes in the NBA.

So, how does one of the league’s biggest stars balance being an NBA champion and a devoted father? Let’s take a look at Jayson Tatum’s life as a dad, his adorable bond with Deuce, and why family always comes first.

Fatherhood in the Spotlight: Jayson Tatum & Deuce

From the moment Deuce Tatum was born in 2017, he became a huge part of his father’s life—both on and off the court. Unlike many athletes who try to keep their personal lives private, Tatum has embraced fatherhood in the public eye, allowing fans to witness his unbreakable bond with his son.

Whether it’s post-game interviews, heartwarming courtside moments, or Deuce running around the Celtics’ locker room, fans love seeing their father-son duo together.

💚 Deuce is a Celtics fan-favorite! He’s often spotted at games cheering for his dad, high-fiving players, and even taking part in media day photoshoots. His charismatic personality and love for the game have made him a mini celebrity in the basketball world.

💬 Tatum on fatherhood:
“I think being a father is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It changed my perspective on life, made me more mature, and gave me a purpose beyond basketball.”

From bedtime stories to championship celebrations, Tatum ensures that Deuce is always by his side, making their relationship one of the most cherished in the NBA.

Balancing the NBA Grind with Fatherhood

Being an NBA superstar comes with a grueling schedule—constant traveling, long practices, and high-pressure games. But despite the demanding nature of his career, Tatum prioritizes being present in his son’s life.

He has spoken openly about how he adjusts his lifestyle to ensure that Deuce never feels like he is missing out on quality time with his father.

📍 Bringing Deuce to Games & Practices – Instead of being apart for long stretches, Tatum often brings Deuce with him to Celtics games, practices, and even post-game interviews.

🏡 FaceTime & Daily Calls – When traveling for away games, Tatum makes sure to check in with Deuce every day. He’s mentioned in interviews how technology helps him stay connected as a dad, no matter where he is.

“No matter what city I’m in, I FaceTime Deuce every night before bed. That’s our thing.” – Jayson Tatum

His ability to balance fatherhood and professional basketball is not just inspiring—it’s proof that being a great dad is just as important as being a great athlete.

A Role Model for Young Fathers

Jayson Tatum’s approach to fatherhood at a young age has made him a role model for many young dads around the world.

He has broken the stereotype that NBA players are too focused on their careers to be active parents. Instead, Tatum has shown that being a dad doesn’t have to take a backseat to success—it can be a driving force behind it.

🏀 How Fatherhood Fuels His Game

Tatum has credited his son as his biggest motivation to keep improving and striving for greatness.

“I want to set the best example for Deuce. I want him to grow up knowing that his dad worked hard, stayed humble, and always put family first.”

💡 His success is no longer just for himself—it’s for Deuce’s future, too.

And with the way Tatum is playing, there’s a strong chance that his son will be watching him win more championships in the years to come.

Jayson Tatum’s Legacy as a Father & NBA Superstar

At just 26 years old, Jayson Tatum has already built a legacy that extends far beyond basketball.

✔ He’s a Celtics superstar, an NBA champion, and one of the league’s best players.

✔ He’s a role model for young fathers, proving that family comes first—even in a demanding career.

✔ And most importantly, he’s a loving dad who has made Deuce a part of his incredible journey.

Their father-son bond is something truly special, and fans can’t get enough of their adorable moments together.

What’s Next?

As Tatum continues to dominate in the NBA, one thing is certain: his greatest achievement will always be being Deuce’s dad.

Because at the end of the day, championships come and go—but fatherhood lasts a lifetime. 💚
