Congratulations are in order for Ella Mai and Jayson Tatum!

The notoriously private couple welcomed their first child together but the happy parents seemingly did not get to make an announcement themselves.

On Saturday, the 26-year-old Boston Celtics player and his USA Basketball teammates posed for portraits with their Olympic gold medals at their hotel in Paris, France.

Behind-the-scenes footage of the photoshoot made the rounds online and hawk-eyed fans quickly noticed the multi-platinum singer, 29, holding a newborn child off to the side during the photo session.

According to People, the couple have been romantically linked since 2020 but never confirmed their relationship.

The Grammy winner was spotted backstage at the NBA Finals in Boston, where the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks in June, sporting Tatum’s jersey and an apparent baby bump.

The newborn is Mai’s first child, whereas Tatum welcomed Jayson Christopher Tatum, Jr. a.k.a Deuce, now 6, with ex-girlfriend Toriah Lachell.
