Jayson Tatum shares a beach vacation with his adorable son Deuce

For Father’s Day, Jayson Tatum spent time with his son on a relaxing trip with great views.

 

The NBA forward, who is 25 years old, shared pictures on Instagram on Sunday of him and his 5-year-old son Jayson “Deuce” Christopher having a great time at a tropical pool and kayaking.

 

During their trip, the couple can also be seen smiling together in a number of pictures while on a boat and a jet ski.

 

“Deuce’s dad,” Tatum wrote under the pictures.

Tatum had his son Deuce when he was 19. Since then, Deuce has become a big hit with the Celtics and NBA players all over the league. Deuce is shared by Tatum and his ex-girlfriend Toriah Lachell.

 

The NBA star had Deuce in December 2017, just six months after being picked up by the Celtics. In a press meeting in June, he talked about being a good dad and how close he is to his son.

 

“I think I was drafted in 2017. I didn’t have Deuce yet, but he was born that year, so that was a big one. That was the best year of my life, right?” “I just had a baby, and now I’m starting this new part of my career,” Tatum said.

“I wasn’t willing to give up either; I was going to be the best father I could be and the best basketball player I could be,” the Boston Celtics star said. “There was no exact way to do it or a rule to follow.” It was all about what made sense.

 

“I do what comes naturally to me.” Every day, I’m with him. I feel like we’re growing up together because we’re going through this journey together, Tatum said. “I was 19 when I got drafted.” “As he’s grown older, I’ve been going through my career. We’re sharing these moments and growing up together.” For me, that’s the coolest part.
