One user highlighted how Tatum is seemingly a different man when around Ella Mai, saying. "Ma guy acting totally different."
"Got me cheesin and shit," another fan shared.
"My dawg really him," a comment underscored.
Some comments, meanwhile, spotlighted the dance moves, or lack there of, of Jayson Tatum.
"Joker got better dance moves than Tatum we're fiinished," a fan wrote, making a reference to Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic.
"My boy ain't got no rhythm. Bless his heart," wrote another fan.
One fan, for their part, spotlighted the couple with emojis, posting:
Jayson Tatum and Ella Mai have been linked together since 2020. They, however, have kept their relationship largely private. They welcomed their first child together earlier this year but have not divulged much information about their kid. The child is the second for Tatum, who has a six-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Ella Mai dedicates song to Jayson Tatum
Tatum's and Mai's relationship has grown stronger, as the recording artist even dedicated one of her latest songs to the NBA star. The song is "Little Things' from her surprised EP titled 3, and the lyrics go:
"Be right here when you you're wakin' up / Breakfast on the table, know you like / Eggs, and they're all scrambled up / Pancakes, bacon, OJ on the side / Packed your bag with extra clothes, your tootbrush in the Louis tote / Love notes for when you on the road / Cleaned your watch and Cuban links / Silk pillowcase for you to take / Boy, you deserve the little thing."
Ella Mai has been a constant supporter of Tatum in his career, always by his side to share the evert moment, including when he won an NBA title with the Celtics last season and a gold medal with Team USA in the Paris Olympic Games.
