NBA superstar LeBron James and his high school sweetheart, Savannah James, have built a remarkable life together since their wedding on Sept. 14, 2013, at the Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego. After over a decade of marriage, the couple continues to showcase their commitment to each other, recently sharing insights into their relationship on Savannah’s podcast, “Everybody’s Crazy.”
A journey through love
Savannah and LeBron’s love story began in their teenage years, where they met through mutual friends. Despite Savannah’s earlier relationships, it was LeBron who captured her heart. On a recent episode of her podcast, Savannah opened up about her dating experiences before LeBron, sharing that she had several boyfriends at the age of 14. She humorously described her teenage relationships as “raggedy and janky,” emphasizing that such experiences were part of her journey of self-discovery.
Advice for young hearts
During the podcast, a 14-year-old caller sought advice about her feelings for an ex-boyfriend who had started dating her friend. Savannah and her co-host, April McDaniel, provided guidance, with April encouraging the young girl to raise her standards. Savannah chimed in, reflecting on her own teenage experiences, stating, “I had all the boyfriends at 14,” and acknowledging the lessons learned during that time.
Reflections on marriage and motherhood
In a recent appearance on the “Tamron Hall” show, Savannah discussed the challenges she faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, admitting that she sometimes felt depleted and struggled to be fully present for her family. She expressed that it was difficult to balance her roles as a mother and a wife, stating, “I started to disappear. This was during the pandemic. My kids were good. [LeBron] was good, somewhere doing something, and I would disappear into my bathroom.” This candid admission resonated with many, as it highlighted the pressures of motherhood and the importance of self-care.
Building a family together
Savannah and LeBron’s relationship has blossomed over the years, resulting in a beautiful family. They welcomed their first son, LeBron “Bronny” James, Jr., on Oct. 6, 2004, followed by their second son, Bryce Maximus, on June 14, 2007. After their marriage in 2013, the couple celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Zhuri Nova, on Oct. 22, 2014. Savannah often shares glimpses of their family life on social media, showcasing the love and support they have for one another.
Support through thick and thin
LeBron has always credited Savannah for being his rock throughout his career. During a speech at Harlem’s Fashion Row gala in 2018, he stated, “Savannah was with me shooting in the gym when I [had] absolutely nothing.” This sentiment reflects the deep bond they share, built on mutual support and understanding. Savannah’s unwavering presence has been a cornerstone of LeBron’s success, and their partnership continues to inspire many.
A love that endures
The love story of Savannah and LeBron James is a testament to the power of commitment, growth and partnership.
