In 2013, LeBron James and Savannah Brinson celebrated their enduring relationship with an opulent wedding. The event featured a memorable performance of “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, according to Deadspin. The three-day festivities included star-studded appearances from celebrities such as Dwayne Wade and singer Ne-Yo, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

 

Their romance began in Akron, Ohio, where they attended rival high schools. James, who excelled in both basketball and football, met Savannah at a football game. At the time, she didn’t recognize his burgeoning sports fame. Their first date was a casual dinner at Outback Steakhouse, a cherished memory for them both.

 

Despite James’ rapid ascent in the NBA, Savannah didn’t foresee his future success. She humorously noted that he “met her” rather than the other way around. Their relationship strengthened during high school, and when Savannah became pregnant during their senior year, James assured her that their dreams would not be sidelined.

 

Now, the couple has three children: LeBron Jr., Bryce Maximus, and Zhuri. They reside in two luxurious homes— a $21 million mansion in Los Angeles and a $9.2 million estate in Akron. As of 2016, James, a three-time NBA champion and one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, had a net worth of $275 million, according to Forbes.

 

Despite the demands of his career, Savannah plays a crucial role in their family life. James describes her as the boss and the one who sets the rules, acknowledging the challenge of balancing family life with his professional commitments. Their love story reached a milestone when James proposed on New Year’s Eve 2011 during a Miami party celebrating both his 27th birthday and their engagement, with Dwayne Wade safeguarding the $300,000 engagement ring.
