Savannah James or Savannah Brinson (as she was known before marriage), was born to Jennifer and JK Brinson on August 27, 1986, in Akron, Ohio.
After an interview with Savannah James, the Cleveland Magazine said that she was not just another wife of a basketball superstar and there was much more to her.
Savannah has always been a woman of significant philanthropic interests. She grew with these interests because of her family, which had always shared such beliefs. Her ideology was met with much-needed resources when she partnered LeBron James, who according to her was extremely supportive.
“He’s super, super passionate about his philanthropic endeavors,” she had told Cleveland magazine of her other half. “He’s super, super passionate about his athletic abilities, doing everything he needs to do to stay in tip-top shape to make sure that he can help his team do what they need to do on the court. I just try to mirror that drive in everything that I do.”
When did LeBron James & Savannah meet for the first time?
The couple had actually met for the first time in high school. LeBron was a 17-year-old high school sportsman, when he saw Savannah Brinson as a 16-year-old cheerleading in one of the rival team’s camps. Talking about their first talk in the interview two years ago, Savannah recalled o calling him when she was bored.
Since then, they have always been together. In 2011, LeBron James proposed to his longtime girlfriend at a New Year’s Eve party and two years later, in September, they tied the knot in San Diego in front of around 200 guests.

“He is truly a king to his queen, if you will,” she told. “He treats me with so much respect — I mean, it’s hard to not love him, with the way that he is with me and the kids and his mom and just everyone who’s around him. He’s a really, really humble guy for everything that he has and everything that he’s done.”
This just shows how King James is a champion at maintaining personal relations as he is in keeping business relations. All hail King James!
