Okay, so the other day I was down a rabbit hole trying to figure out everything about Jayson Tatum, you know, the Celtics star? And I got really curious about his parents. Like, who are they? What’s their story?

Digging into Jayson Tatum’s Parents
So, first, I hit up the usual spots – you know, just doing some basic searches. I quickly found out his mom is Brandy Cole and his dad is Justin Tatum. It was a bit of a search party to understand the history and story of their relationship.
I found that his parents were pretty young when Jayson was born – Brandy was a college student, and Justin was also in school and playing basketball. Seems like basketball runs in the family, huh?
- Brandy Cole:She was super young when Jayson came along. I found that she went to law school. A mom and a lawyer, how awesome is that?
- Justin Tatum: Played ball in college and even overseas. He later became a coach, so he definitely passed that love of the game down to his son.
I did some looking and found that Brandy basically raised Jayson as a single mom. I gotta say, she sounds like a total rockstar, juggling everything and making sure Jayson had what he needed to succeed.
I tried to find a few more, shall I say ‘juicy’ details, but what I found were many sites and sources saying the same basic details, that, and their names were all I could find.
It was cool to get a little peek behind the curtain and see where Jayson Tatum came from. Seems like he’s got some pretty amazing, supportive parents who helped him get where he is today!
