Jayson Tatum Shares Vacation Photos with Son, Celebrating the Joy of Being ‘Deuce’s Dad’

Jayson Tatum spent Father’s Day with his son on a relaxing vacation with some stunning views.

The NBA forward, 25, shared photographs on Instagram Sunday of himself and his 5-year-old son Jayson “Deuce” Christopher spending the day poolside and rafting in a stunning tropical location.

A sequence of images show the pair smiling together on a boat and a jet ski while on vacation.

“Deuce’s dad,” Tatum captioned the photos.

Tatum was 19 when he welcomed his son Deuce, who has now become a hit with the Celtics and other NBA players. Tatum lives in Deuce with his ex-girlfriend Toriah Lachell.

The NBA player, who had Deuce in December 2017 just six months after being picked by the Celtics, spoke about being a role model as a father and his deep bond with his kid in a June news conference.

“When I was drafted in 2017, I didn’t have Deuce, but he was born in 2017, so that was significant; that was the most important year of my life, right?

“My mindset was not to make any sacrifices; I was going to be the best father and basketball player I could be,” the Boston Celtics star added. “There were no guidelines or clear procedures. It was all about what seemed natural.”

“I just do what comes naturally. I spend every day with him. I believe that going through this journey together, considering I was 19 years old when I was drafted, is similar to us growing up together,” Tatum said. “As he’s gotten older, I’ve been going through my profession, sharing these moments and experiencing them together as we grow up. I believe it is the coolest thing for me.”
