Tatum and Mai have maintained a fairly private relationship over the years, which is why most people aren’t aware that they are together. The Celtics forward doesn’t share much with the public especially if it revolves around his personal life. Even if he talks about his son, he mainly has to do with how much Deuce has impacted his life. Now, let us take a brief look into Tatum and Mai’s relationship.
