Who Is LeBron James' Wife? Everything to Know About Savannah James

LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James, are proud parents to three children.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, share LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., 21; Bryce Maximus James, 19; and Zhuri Nova James, 11. While LeBron's career often keeps him on the road, Savannah has remained a steady presence at home while supporting him.

"I'm gone a lot, so she is the boss of the household; she's the rule-setter," the basketball superstar told Vogue in 2017. "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."

Here's everything to know about LeBron's wife, Savannah.

Savannah was born on August 27, 1986, in Akron, Ohio, to parents Jennifer Brinson and SK Brinson. She grew up in the Rubber City with her four siblings: Jerrold Brinson, Eric Brinson, Deidre Norris and Shannon Wallace.

In her 2023 cover story with The Cut, Savannah said she is a big fan of horror movies and that the family often winds down by watching films from the genre together.

"It's just entertainment to us," she shared. "I know that's so weird and dark to say, but we love horror movies and we love watching them together. And I usually figure it out within the first 15 minutes, and I'm like, 'This is the killer. This is what's going to happen.' Usually, I'm right. Pat myself on the back for that. I do really good."

A former interior designer, she launched furniture line Home Court by LeBron James in 2010. She also ran The Juice Spot in Florida while investing in several businesses.

In 2025, she founded clinical skincare brand Reframe, which is "inclusive — not just of skin tones and types — but of all aspects of culture: fashion, music, art, design."

"I surrounded myself with experts in every field and let my curiosity guide me," she said of creating the brand. "The journey of bringing Reframe to life has been exhilarating and overwhelming. It's proof that doing things in a new way usually means taking the steeper, longer route. But that's exactly why I'm so proud of what we've built: exceptional formulas, expertly crafted, and clinically validated."

As a philanthropist, Savannah established Women of Our Future, which aims to mentor young women in Akron, in 2017.

"I'm still a very private person," she told Cleveland Magazine. "But these things reflect the passion that I have as far as giving back, the philanthropic part of me. So with those things, I don't mind stepping out."

In 2013, Savannah hosted her inaugural I PROMise Makeover, which provided young women with a prom dress and accessories of their choice.

Beyond her work as a businesswoman and philanthropist, Savannah hosts the "Everybody's Crazy" podcast, which she launched with her friend and co-host April McDaniel.

LeBron and Savannah first crossed paths as high school students in 2002. At the time, they were attending rival schools in Akron, Ohio: Savannah, then 16, was a student at Buchtel High School, while 17-year-old LeBron attended St. Vincent–St. Mary High School.

A mutual friend who transferred from LeBron's school to Savannah's told her the future basketball superstar wanted her number.

"I'm like, 'Um, nope. I'll take his number," she said, adding, "One day I'm sitting around — I was probably bored or something — and I'm like, ‘Oh, I forgot! I have this number for this guy that I can call. He seemed interested, so let's see.'"

The pair eventually went on their first solo date after having dinner with a group of friends.

LeBron and Savannah exchanged vows at the Grand Del Mar resort in San Diego in 2013, over a year after the Philadelphia 76ers player proposed at a party on New Year's Eve 2011.

During an appearance on the "Question Everything" podcast, the entrepreneur spoke candidly about her life as a WAG.

"If I could give any advice, I would just say to stay grounded and stay intentional with who you are, who your partner is, and how you guys got to be — to get to this point and just support each other through the evolution of it," she shared.

The couple became parents for the first time when their son Bronny was born on October 6, 2004. They also welcomed son Bryce on June 14, 2007, and daughter Zhuri on October 22, 2014.

When Essence asked how she manages her time as a mom, businesswoman and philanthropist, Savannah revealed, "There's always a fear for moms if they are as present with the kids as much as they think they should be. You should never have a fear of doing what you really aspire to do or what you're passionate about."

She added, "You can prioritize and keep the balance. I have a good time with my kids. I love to turn on music and we all dance in the living room together. But you'll never see me. I will not post me dancing."

Savannah has been LeBron's "support system with whatever he needs" since day one.

"It's a part of the role that I play as the mother of his kids and being his wife," she told Essence. "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."

She was also quick to defend her husband amid the "crazy" criticism surrounding his exit from the Los Angeles Lakers and his decision to move to the 76ers.
