Jayson Tatum was ‘sick to his stomach’ when he learned that his former high school sweetheart, Toriah Mimms, was pregnant.

Tatum—and sources close to the NBA All-Star and his reported long-time girlfriend, Ella Mai — have never confirmed the couple is married. Despite fan interest and Internet rumors about the two, it's likely that they are happily and privately living life as a couple and co-parents to a toddler.

Tatum is widely expected to miss the entirety of the 2025-26 season, as the standard timeline for recovery from an Achilles' injury is typically about a year. He's said to have consulted Kevin Durant, another major star who has suffered an Achilles' injury himself, on the recovery. Durant missed a full season.

An update on Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum's potential return from a torn Achilles during the 2025-26 season was provided by NBA insider Chris Haynes on Wednesday.

Watching Jayson Tatum doing box jumps and dunking just five months after tearing his Achilles certainly raised some eyebrows. Even his doctor, who performed the surgery, was a bit stunned to see the videos of the Boston Celtics star.

If you didn't know any better and watched any of the recent videos of Jayson Tatum running, shooting or even dunking a basketball, you might not have suspected

The Celtics still don’t have Jayson Tatum, and without the injured superstar, they didn’t stand much of a chance in that Game 6 Eastern conference semifinal clincher, or Friday night.

Jayson Tatum may or may not return this season. The Celtics aren’t taking him into consideration. Naturally, his role, being the primary option and hub, fell onto Jaylen Brown’s shoulders.
