Fans erupt as seemingly unhappy Jayson Tatum’s gf Ella Mai quickly shields son’s face from jumbotron: "Baby's first viral moment"

It's not unusual to see celebrities at the TD Garden. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon used to attend Boston Celtics games all the time. The camera crew will always be on the hunt for influencers and famous people in attendance. That's the way it's been since the dawn of television in all professional sports.

Ella Mai, however, didn't seem to like that. The renowned musician, who welcomed a baby boy with Celtics star Jayson Tatum, starred in a now-viral moment because of that.

When the broadcast cameras showed her and her baby boy, she rushed to outstretch her arm and cover his face. Needless to say, it didn't take long before the fans online took notice and shared their thoughts:

"Aww, baby's first viral moment," one fan wrote.

"I get it. But just leave him at home cause u know they going to put u on the jumbo," another one said.

"she still acts like her and Tatum are a secret smh we know girl," a fan chimed in.

"It's a televised game, cameras always pan into the audience. Privacy should not be expected in public," another one tweeted.

"This is kinda funny considering how his other son is damn near a mascot for the Celtics," a fan added with a laughing face emoji.

"If you don’t want your baby on tv then you shouldn’t bring your baby outside to a basketball game just saying," another one said.

Jayson Tatum talks about kids and not wanting to miss any road games

Tatum isn't just one of the best players in the NBA. He's also known for being a loving, caring and present father to his firstborn, Deuce.

Deuce has been spotted on the sidelines and the locker room, walking around and supporting his father in almost every game. That's why he knows he cannot afford to miss road games, as some other kids, just like his, also dream of watching him play and might not get another chance to do it.

“Kids might have got this ticket for their birthday or Christmas I know that’s the only time I get to come in town. That’s why I never want to miss Road games. That’s why I understand the importance of playing in front of your fans, especially on the road," the Celtics superstar said.

Tatum grew up idolizing Kobe Bryant, who once shared a similar philosophy. Hopefully, he will stay healthy for years to come, so those who want to watch him play will always have an opportunity to fulfill their dream.
