Deuce has been observed cheering for his father on the sidelines of NBA games.
Who is Deuce Tatum, Jayson Tatum’s son?
Jayson “Deuce” Christopher Tatum Jr. was born to Toriah Lachell and Jayson Tatum on December 6, 2017.
Jayson was 19 years old at the time of the birth of his firstborn.
In high school, Jayson and his then-girlfriend Toriah met.
In 2017, the Boston Celtics drafted Jayson, who had previously played basketball for Duke. He was selected third.
It is unclear when Toriah and Jayson ended their relationship, but they are no longer together.
Since 2020, Jayson has been attached to renowned singer Ella Mai.
When did the public first become aware of Deuce?
In 2022, the public began to give attention to Jayson’s son, Deuce.
During the 2022 semifinals, the five-year-old made headlines for interrupting his father’s interview at the podium.
Tatum’s footwear feature special markings on the interior. Before each game, his son’s nickname “Deuce” is inscribed on the inside of his shoes.
Deuce has been a bright light for the Boston Celtics, and he never misses a game to watch his father play.
The child has also been observed encouraging Jayson’s teammates by giving them high fives.
Before the 2021 All-Star Game, he also had a good time with other NBA luminaries, including Kyrie Irving.
What effect did Deuce have on Jayson’s Nike sneakers?
The “Tatum 1” was Jayson’s first signature shoe for Nike’s Jordan Brand.
The shoe is available in four colorways, including a black and scarlet pair dubbed “The Zoo,” which was inspired by Deuce’s affinity for animals.
While collaborating with Nike, the Celtics player requested children’s sizes for the Tatum 1.
The NBA player recalled visiting a store and purchasing shoes designed by his favored players.
Tatum said in a statement, “I want this shoe to serve as a bridge between my fans and me, bringing us closer together.”
