When you look atop the eastern conference standings in the NBA, you're going to see the Boston Celtics near the top of the list these days. This is largely thanks to guys like Jayson Tatum, a young, budding superstar who's take the league by storm. Although Tatum is young, he seems to be ahead of his years on the court. But, is Jayson Tatum married and, if so, who is he married to?

Is Jayson Tatum Married?

One of the interesting parts about athletes who make it to the NFL and NBA is the fact that many of them marry young. So many athletes spend their college years dating women who have supported their careers throughout high school and college and into the pros. While Jayson Tatum doesn't actually have a wife at this point in time, he has been dating a woman for quite some time.

Jayson Tatum's girlfriend is Toriah Lachell, a woman who he's been dating since his years in high school. The two met in school and have had a strong bond ever since, which stayed strong while Jayson played college at Duke and transitioned into the NBA. The two aren't married or engaged as far as the public knows, and we don't know if they plan on changing that any time in the near future.

Does Jayson Tatum Have Kids?

You might also be wondering whether or not Jayson Tatum has any kids, an especially interesting question since the young NBA star is just 22 years old. Again, however, it's fairly common for athletes to have children at a young age, especially when those children are the result of a long-time relationship with a high school sweetheart.

Even though he isn't married to his girlfriend Toriah, Jayson Tatum does have one child: Jayson Christopher Tatum Jr. Tatum Jr. was born December 7, 2017, which was the same day his father notched a double-double to secure a Celtics win over the Mavericks.

A quick look at some of Jayson Tatum's social media will show you just how proud he is of his son. From pictures of Tatum Jr. when he was still a newborn to photos of him as a toddler celebrating with his dad on the basketball court, there are lots of adorable photos of Tatum and his child. The next thing to watch for will be whether or not Jayson Tatum and Toriah Lachell get married and continue to have children as his NBA career develops.
