Get to know LeBron James' wife & kids.

What more can we say about LeBron James? The world has been watching the 6’9" Point Forward for over 20 years, both on and off the court. LeBron James's family has been by his side as he's achieved greatness in the NBA.

Outside of basketball, LeBron's impact doesn't go unnoticed. Besides starring in his own TV show, The Shop, or films like Space Jam: A New Legacy, LeBron's made a concerted effort to remain heavily involved in his community in Akron, OH. He founded the LeBron James Family Foundation which helped launch the I Promise School in Akron, OH to help many at-risk youth stay in school.

Although LeBron is undoubtedly a busy man between his illustrious NBA career and his entrepreneurial and philanthropic ventures, nothing is more important to him than family. Whether he is hanging out with his sons, dancing with his daughter, or on a date night with Savannah, the future Hall of Famer doesn't shy from showing his family off on social media. The spotlight is always on LeBron, but the rest of the James crew have their own lives. Let’s get to know the other members of LeBron James's family.

Zhuri

The youngest of the James bunch is Zhuri. Filled with energy, it makes sense that she has her own YouTube channel. She calls it All Things Zhuri -- a hub where she displays her cooking skills, among other talents.

If you’re on social media or follow sports, it’s likely you have seen the jovial James family across your timeline. Their dances turn into viral moments with Zhuri leading the way. Even Cardi B gave her a shout-out after Zhuri shared an adorable video dancing to “Up." In addition to being a natural-born entertainer, her parents have leveraged her chemistry for brand deals. In 2021, children’s clothing brand, Janie and Jack made Zhuri the face of their Ultimate Princess Celebration campaign inspired by Disney princesses. It’s clear she is the princess of Lebron James' family.

Bryce

Bronny might be the next star athlete to join the league but Bryce's potential shouldn't be overlooked. Bryce is only two years younger than Bronny Jr. However, the 15-year-old continued to show out on the court over the years. In fact, his dad called him the best shooter in the family when he was just 11 years old.

Bryce has shown that he has a bit of personality in recent times. His uncanny impression of imitation of his dad went viral. Clearly a multi-talented individual, LeBron once shared a video of Bryce rapping during his time with the Heat. It looks like his youngest son can do a bit of everything.

Bryce’s basketball skills have caught the attention of many people recently. He hit a huge growth spurt and now stands at 6’6", 3 inches taller than Bronny. Apparently, basketball just runs in the family. Bryce is slowly gaining his own name for himself. 

Bronny

Bronny James is on pace to do some major things in his life. At 9 years old, then-Head Coach of the Ohio State University, Thad Matta, said he had his eye on him. LeBron confirmed the news and added that college recruiters from Duke and Kentucky have already presented offers when Bronny was 10.

While he was playing in the AAU circuit, Bronny refused to wear his dad’s number because he didn’t want people to know who he was. Of course, he couldn’t escape that since they do share the same name. Nevertheless, through his hard work and dedication, Bronny has worked to make a name for himself on the court. His YouTube highlights showcase his growth as a player, including his first dunk at 13-years-old in front of his dad.  Bronny even defeated his dad’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St.Mary while playing for Sierra Canyon in 2019 with the game-winning shot. Though he was sidelined for some time with a torn meniscus, Bronny still became a McDonald’s All-American. Like father, like son. 

Off the court, just like any other kid, Bronny is a gamer. He joined the professional esports organization, FaZe Clan  After his dad secured a lifetime deal with Nike, Bronny received an NIL deal from the sneaker giant. Just recently, he announced he is going to attend the University of Southern California.

Savannah

Formerly Savannah Brinson, LeBron’s wife admitted she initially wasn’t interested in the star athlete. However, their history together goes back to their teenage years. She played softball at Lebron’s rival high school but eventually, they exchanged phone numbers, thanks to a mutual friend.

After LeBron invited her to one of his basketball games, that’s when she became more interested. Now, she is the anchor of the LeBron James family. Savannah became pregnant during LeBron’s rookie season. In October 2004, they welcomed their first child together, LeBron James Jr.. A few years later while LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers were in the 2007 NBA Finals, Savannah welcomed their second son, Bryce.

Savannah and LeBron got engaged in 2011 in Miami before getting married two years later. Savannah's played a major role in building their empire. She's greatly involved with LeBron’s furniture company. In partnership with American Signature, they launched Home Court by LeBron James which includes beds, desks, mirrors, and other furniture for children. 

Additionally, Savannah's also launched a number of other entrepreneurial and philanthropic ventures. Her involvement in the LeBron James Family Foundation includes the I Promise Makeover event that helped underprivileged women during prom season. She also started a mentorship program at her former high school in Cleveland called Women of Our Future, which helped young women pursue higher education
