From high school sweethearts to king and queen, LeBron James and Savannah Brinson have come a long way
LeBron James, often known as King James, is a professional basketball player who is regarded as one of the finest in the world. He has four NBA MVP awards, four NBA Championships, and two Olympic Gold Medals to his credit, and that’s only a small part of his impressive career.
Savannah Brinson is the love of his life, his queen, and his high school sweetheart. Their love is a living example of how real love makes people untouchable in love and life, allowing them to grow stronger as a couple through time.
When the two first met, it was in the year 2002. Savannah attended Buchtel High School and LeBron attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Savannah was a cheerleader for the team. LeBron invited Savannah to see him play hoops during a football game.
Savannah talked about LeBron and how it happened in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar:
“I had no idea who he was,”
“I went, and I was like, Wow, this guy is pretty popular in here.”
They went on their first date at an Outback Steakhouse afterwards. Savannah described LeBron as “kind and loving” to Harper’s Bazaar:
“But I knew he loved me when I left my leftovers from dinner in his car,”
“I’d totally forgotten about them, and he brought them to me. I think he just wanted another excuse to come and see me.”
They were head over heels in love. While they were still in high school, they had their first child, LeBron Jr. Bryce Maximus, their second son, was born three years later.
In 2012, LeBron proposed to the love of his life, and the two married in 2013. In 2014, they welcomed their third child, a daughter named Zhuri Nova.
Savannah told Harper’s Bazaar about her admiration for LeBron James:
“I just love him so much. We’re soul mates.”
Savannah has always been an important part of LeBron’s career. She said in an interview with Essence:
“I’m his support system with whatever he needs. If he needs someone to listen to him. If he needs to talk or if he says, ‘Hey babe, I’m tired. Can I take a nap?’ I will say ‘Yeah, baby. Take a nap,’ and keep the kids occupied. It’s a part of the role that I play as the mother of his kids and being his wife. The balance that I create in our house is for his success. He is very busy and I understand that, and the kids are at the age now that they get it. Being there for him is a huge part of his success.”
Savannah is referred to be the “boss of the house” by King James. He said to Vogue:
“I’m gone a lot, so she is the boss of the household; she’s the rule-setter. It’s hard for me to go on the road for two and half weeks and then come home and tell my kids, ‘Look, this is how it should be done’ when she’s been home every day.”
When it comes to unstoppable power couples, LeBron James and Savannah Brinson are at the top of the list.
