LA Lakers superstar LeBron James expressed his admiration on Instagram for his wife, Savannah James, who presented a Billboard award. The four-time NBA champion reposted Billboard’s Instagram photo showcasing Savannah on his story, expressing love for his wife and congratulating the award recipient.

Savannah James graced the Billboard Women in Music stage to present the Breakthrough Award to Nigerian singer-songwriter and record producer Tems. In her presenting speech, Savannah mentions that Tems is one of her favorite artists, along with high praise for the rising musical sensation.

Savannah James is a businessperson, philanthropist, entrepreneur and designer. She has always been a woman of charitable interests. She found the perfect partner in LeBron James, who is like-minded and incredibly supportive of her work. LeBron and Savannah’s love affair began in high school, when a mutual friend informed Savannah that LeBron had asked for her phone number. She took his number instead and called him later. He invited her to his game, which ended with the team going to Applebee’s, and shortly after that, he asked her out on a date.

LeBron was quoted saying that she was with him even when he had nothing, and he praised her for motivating him to succeed. In 2003, during LeBron’s rookie year in the NBA, the couple was expecting their first child, LeBron James Jr., aka Bronny. Nearly three years later, the couple welcomed their second child, Bryce Maximus. After being together for a decade, the Lakers star finally proposed to Savannah on New Year’s Eve 2011, who said yes, minutes after midnight. In 2013, they officially tied the knot at the Capella Chape Grand Del Mar Hotel, San Diego, in the presence of friends and family. The following year, they welcomed their third child and first girl, Zhuri. The pair has been together for nearly 21 years, married for 11 years, and their relationship is still as strong as ever.
