Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is an iconic figure in the world of basketball. He is regarded as one of the best players in NBA history. James started his career in the league in 2003 and since then, the King has inspired millions of fans across the country. While his contribution to the sports world is commendable, the Lakers star is also a proud son to his mother Gloria James, the perfect husband for wife Savannah James, and a doting father to his children.

How many kids does LeBron James have?

The now all-time scoring leader and Savannah first met in 2002 when they were just teenagers. After going on a series of dates and outings with their friends, it didn’t take them long to realize they were perfect for each other.

Savannah grew up in Ohio with her parents and four older siblings. Despite having been the superstar’s wife for ten years now, Savannah is still probably getting used to being under the constant spotlight. In 2018, the 36-year-old philanthropist and entrepreneur told Cleveland magazine that she tended to get a little clammy while attending public events.

The couple has three children – two sons and one daughter.

Who are LeBron James’ children and what are they doing?

LeBron James and Savannah’s kids are Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri. Let’s take a look at who they are.

LeBron ‘Bronny’ James Jr.

The couple welcomed their first child, LeBron ‘Bronny’ James Jr. in October 2004. LeBron was 19 years old at the time and in his rookie year in the league. Savannah was 18.

Bronny played as a guard for the Sierra Canyon basketball team until his last high school game in March 2023. The 4x champion’s eldest son is a senior at the Sierra Canyon and will graduate this summer. Following in the footsteps of his NBA legend dad, the 18-year-old is a rising star, having already created quite a buzz with his performances at several forums.

While LeBron opted to enter the league directly after high school, his eldest will most likely pursue a college degree before making his way into the big league. His dad is eagerly waiting for the big day.

Bryce Maximus James

LeBron and Savannah’s second son, Bryce Maximus James was born in 2007. Like his dad and elder brother, Bryce James too is a basketball player and has played in several games alongside Bronny. The 15-year-old currently attends the Sierra Canyon and still has a good two years before he completes high school.

Zhuri Nova James

LeBron and Savannah tied the knot in 2013. A year later, they became parents to their youngest, only daughter Zhuri Nova James. Like her brothers, she too attends the Sierra Canyon School.

Are Lebron James’ kids following in their father’s footsteps?

Among the Lakers legend’s three children, Bronny James is the most likely to become a professional basketball player in the near future. Bronny has been making headlines for the past few months, but he is yet to make a decision as to his next step. Let’s see what Bronny plans for himself after his high school days are over. LeBron had earlier stated that his eldest son wants to complete college first.

According to a 2022 article by The Athletic, the 19x All-Star intends to play his last year with his son. He said, “My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”

While Bronny is already on the path to possibly being a major basketball star, the same cannot be said about Bryce. The teenage middle child likes playing basketball and is pretty good at it, like his brother, but during an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, Savannah emphasized how Bryce could choose any career path he wanted.

The youngest member of the James family is already a social media superstar and has shown her zeal for fashion. The eight-year-old munchkin has a YouTube channel, AllThingsZhuri with over 200k subscribers. When asked about his daughter, the Lakers star told Access Hollywood, “My daughter is the greatest thing in my life, along with my boys. So, whenever she smiles, it don’t matter what I’m doing – It makes me happy.”

 

While Zhuri has yet to show any interest in the game of ball, she sure does love creating lifestyle videos along with her parents on her YT channel.

Being parents to three kids while also managing one’s career is no cakewalk. To make it easier, LeBron and Savannah seem to have adopted a certain system for themselves set in place to facilitate their parenting. During a 2017 interview with Vogue, the 4x NBA champion explained how there is no particular book that could teach one the right way of parenting, but referred to their self-developed framework-of-sorts.

“We have a system, and it works well for our family,” he said, adding how, given his busy schedule, Savannah often takes on the role of the ‘rule-setter’.

Savannah believes in motivating her kids to strive for the best. During her Vanity Fair interview, she said, “They’re not rewarded for mediocrity. I believe that my kids can do anything they put their minds to. You can look at it as a very good thing because maybe we don’t understand what we could be. But to me, that’s much more stressful.”
