If there’s one thing LeBron loves more than basketball, it’s his family!
As arguably the greatest player in NBA history — with all due respect to Michael Jordan, of course — it’s only fitting that LeBron James is also regarded as one of the best Olympic athletes of all time.
With two Olympic gold medals (earned in 2008 and 2022) sitting next to his myriad of NBA awards in his trophy case, LeBron showed — more than once — that he can lead a team of NBA all-stars to new heights on an international stage. Although it should come as absolutely no surprise, LeBron’s Olympic highlight reel is genuinely jaw-dropping.
With the 2024 Summer Games just around the corner, NBC Insider is spotlighting what drives the future Hall of Famer behind the scenes: his family. Believe it or not, if there’s one thing LeBron loves more than the game of basketball, it’s his beautiful wife and children! Here’s everything you need to know about LeBron James’ family.
LeBron James’ Wife
The couple began dating when they were just sixteen — Savannah caught LeBron’s eye, and their first date included attending a local basketball game (what else?) and enjoying a romantic meal at a nearby Outback Steakhouse, according to New York Magazine’s The Cut.
The pair have been inseparable ever since. We always love a story of two high school sweethearts standing the test of time — and Savannah has never wavered in her support for her husband. In fact, she famously planted her flag in the ground during a recent awards ceremony.
“I think LeBron James is the baddest to ever set foot on a basketball court,” Savannah professed during the 2023 ESPY Awards, per Revolt. “Nobody works harder. Nobody cares more and nobody has done more for the game of basketball.”
We don’t think anybody can argue with that. All relationships should aspire to have this much spousal support!
