The Memphis Grizzlies play and fans can’t get enough of Ja Morant and Co. The team is brimming with talented stars all around, but one of them has paved a pretty unique path to the league. Who, you might ask? Nah, not Ja. It’s Memphis’s sharpshooter Desmond Bane. His great-grandparents were the ones who raised young Desmond, which is not something you hear quite often, do you?
Bob and Fabbie Bane were the ones responsible for raising Desmond Bane. That’s not all; later on, the Grizzlies guard attended TCU, not exactly a place where many hoopers make it to the NBA, but he made it possible and credited his great-grandparents for it, saying, “Everything I’ve been able to accomplish, they made it possible,” he told the NBA. Well, enough about his on-court life; let’s dive into life beyond the hardwood and see who the Memphis star shares his life with.

Bane shares his off-court life with Tatum Talley. The couple has known each other for the longest time as they both attended Texas Christian University (TCU). There is speculation the couple met for the first time at TCU, but there’s no clear evidence to prove the same. This could also be because of Desmond trying to keep their relationship under wraps and away from unnecessary attention.
However, in 2021, Bane’s girlfriend started sharing pictures of them regularly, which led fans to notice that something was brewing between the two, and sure enough! In 2022, the Grizzlies star also revealed he and Tatum were dating, which was not a surprise to many. Furthermore, Talley hails from Texas and is one of three children of Lisa Tuttle Talley and Charles Sean Talley.

He further stated in an interview with NBA, “I ain’t gonna lie, once he started kind of locking in, getting to know who I am, smiling back at me, that’s kind of when it all changed for me,” suggesting how being a dad has changed him and has provided balance in his life. We hope, Desmond Bane takes up a level notch and continues to impress for the Grizzlies.
