‘I Love the Way He Loves Her’: LeBron James Marvels Over His ‘Queen’ Savannah James

LeBron James had millions of hearts fluttering on Monday, April 19, after the Los Angeles Lakers forward gushed over an image of his wife, Savannah Brinson James. LeBron initially uploaded the photo of Savannah — who is standing in a side profile stance while showcasing her curves in a two-piece ensemble — on his Instagram story with numerous captions. They included, “You’re simply just flat out beautiful!!!” alongside six heart-eyed emojis.

He also added “BAF” — the acronym for bad as f–k — with a “mindblown” emoji. LeBron finished praising his wife by calling her a “Queen.” At the same time, Savannah posted a similar photo on her story as well with the words, “all these vibes.” Many fans expressed how much they loved LeBron’s admiration toward Savannah.

“The way he shows love to his woman 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️🙌🏽.”

“I love to see a black king show off his queen😍.”

“I love the way he loves her. You can just tell how much he loves and respects her.”

“We Stan a Black King loving on his Black Queen! ❤️🔥🙌🏽.”

“IT THE BLACK LOVE FOR MEEEE😍😍.”

This isn’t the first time the 36-year-old has shouted out his wife of almost eight years. In 2019, LeBron took to Instagram to thank Savannah for her love and support. He credited his “best friend” for his success on and off the court when he wrote, “The only reason why I can do what I do at the highest level both on and off the floor is because my best friend got my back regardless the outcome!” wrote James next to a photo of himself and Savannah. “I’m just the car, she’s the engine! Appreciate you Wonder Woman aka Queen ! @mrs_savannahrj.”

Savannah returned the sweet gesture by commenting with six heart emojis. The couple initially fell in love in high school and tied the knot in September 2013 at the Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego, California. 

LeBron and Savannah share three children, including sons, 16-year-old LeBron James Jr., nicknamed Bronny, Bryce James, 13, and 6-year-old daughter Zhuri James.

Still independent.

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.
