Savannah James, the wife of NBA legend LeBron James, has revealed that she had a dating life before meeting the Los Angeles Lakers star. In a candid conversation on her podcast Everybody's Crazy, Savannah disclosed that she had multiple boyfriends at the age of 14, contradicting the popular belief that she and LeBron have been together since the beginning.
Savannah James Opens Up About Her Teenage Dating Life
Speaking on her podcast a few weeks ago, Savannah James said, "Can't relate. (I wasn't in love at 14). I had all the boyfriends at 14. I had boyfriends and I also had boyfriends that they was friends, but I dated one at one time." She described the relationships as "raggedy and janky" but added, "It's okay. I was 14, it didn't matter. I was 14, I was learning myself…"
This confession surprised many fans who assumed Savannah had been with LeBron since their teenage years. The couple met in high school over two decades ago and have been together ever since, weathering challenges including a teenage pregnancy.
LeBron and Savannah's Relationship Journey
LeBron James met Savannah when they attended the same high school in Ohio. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Savannah recalled a telling moment: "I knew he loved me when I left my leftovers from dinner in his car. I'd totally forgotten about them and he brought them to me. I think he just wanted another excuse to come and see me…"
The couple began dating, but their relationship faced a major test when Savannah became pregnant with their oldest child at just 16 years old. Despite the challenges, LeBron assured her he would step up as a father. Months later, LeBron was drafted into the NBA, and the rest is history.
Life Together After the NBA Draft
LeBron and Savannah married in 2013 and have three children: LeBron Jr., Bryce, and Zhuri. Throughout LeBron's illustrious career, Savannah has been a constant support, managing their family and her own business ventures. The couple is often cited as one of the most admired in sports, known for their enduring commitment and family values.
Savannah's revelation about her past relationships offers a glimpse into her life before the spotlight, showing that even the most iconic couples have personal histories. As she continues to host her podcast, fans can expect more candid insights into her life and relationship with the NBA superstar.
