LeBron James’ Wife Savannah Is the Center of Attention In This Family Photo: ‘She Is Gorgeous’

Four-time NBA championship winner LeBron James may currently be the biggest and highest paid star in his household, but that hasn’t stopped people on social from fawning over his entire family.

The Ohio native recently shared a family photo — which has become a rare occurrence since the 2019-20 NBA season paused — and it garnered more 2 million likes and thousands of comments.

His caption reads: I’m ABSOLUTELY NOTHING without them!♥️ #JamesGang👑 #ThekidsfromAKRON

“Real time..real faces…real life …no makeup…no wardrobe..no filters…..NATURAL FAMILY. I love it! #EXCELLENCE💪🏾❤️🙌🏾,” commented a fan.

“This makes me real life happy,” wrote another.

Typically LeBron’s family posts leave fans fawning over his 5-year-old daughter Zhuri and her outgoing personality, but this time it was his wife racking up countless compliments.

“Yaaassss Savannah bout to have a bomb ass twist out!!!!!”

“It’s Savannah’s hair for me! We LOVE a natural, black Queen!!!!! 😍😍😍”

“Savanna is just effortless beauty! 😍”

“I love how she embraces her natural beauty. She is gorgeous ❤️,” wrote another person commenting on Savannah’s looks.

Also eye-catching in the photo was LeBron’s mom, Gloria James. With a limited amount of fans allowed to attend NBA games, it’s been some time since fans spotted the family’s matriarch courtside cheering on her son.

But it’s quite likely people might be seeing more of Gloria now that she has joined Instagram. In LeBron’s Feb. 5 post celebrating his mother’s birthday he made mention of her joining the popular photo and video-sharing platform.

The superstar who brought the Los Angeles Lakers their first championship since 2010 is all smiles in the photo, but not so much as he gears up for his appearance in the All-Star Game on March 7 in Atlanta.

“I have zero energy and zero excitement about an All-Star Game this year,” he said during an ESPN postgame interview, citing the short offseason he and his teammates experienced after competing in the NBA Finals. “I don’t even understand why we’re having an All-Star Game.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
