KNICK’s bromance with Lebron James Continues: as wife gives yet another hint…read more
Lebron and his wife Savannah have been happily married since 2003, but their love story started long before that. Throughout their years together, they’ve supported each other’s endeavors on and off the court, and the duo makes for the ultimate couple goals (or baskets?). So, who is Savannah James? We’ve broken down everything you need to know about the queen behind LeBron’s king.
They Met in High School
The adorable couple goes way back—specifically, all the way back to high school. Although they didn’t attend the same school, Savannah was a cheerleader at the rival high school (what’s a little friendly competition?).
At the time, 16-year-old Savannah was introduced to 17-year-old LeBon, who was recruited to play basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Ohio. According to Good Housekeeping, they were initially connected by a mutual friend.
She Made the First Move
Savannah has always been an independent woman, and she even made the first move in their relationship. In fact, when the aforementioned mutual friend told her that LeBron asked for her number, Savannah actually replied “nope,” and said she would take his number instead. Savannah shared the hilarious and adorable story with Cleveland Magazine in 2018, adding that she ended up texting him one day out of boredom.It’s not going to slow me down, and it’s not going to slow you down,'” she recalled him saying. “‘We’re going to keep doing what we have to do.'” The pair welcomed Bronny in 2004, followed by their second child Bryce in 2007.
