Now known as Savannah James, the businesswoman is not just Lebron James wife, but one of the biggest and oldest fans of the NBA superstar.

Let’s find out more about the basketballer’s wife Savannah Brinson, shall we?
Who is Savannah Brinson (Lebron James Wife)?
Savannah was born on August 27, 1986, to her parents – Jennifer and JK Brinson. Although she has kept information about her family away from the media, Savannah hasn’t been able to shy away from fame since she met Lebron at the Buchtel Community Learning Center. She is an African-American and attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio which was where she met her now-husband, LeBron James.
Her 6 feet 8 inches husband was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James was raised by his own mother Gloria Marie James who had him when she was just 16. His father has been identified as Anthony McClelland; at the time James’ mother conceived him, Anthony was just her casual boyfriend. He stayed away from his son’s life, allowing Gloria’s longtime boyfriend Eddie Jackson to act as a father figure for James despite being convicted for fraud and drug trafficking.
Currently playing for his hometown team Cleveland Cavaliers, James was first introduced to the basketball game when he was just 9 years old. He kicked off his NBA career in 2003 and his rise to stardom began during his rookie campaign. Since then, James has not failed to make history in the league as he has shattered and set numerous records all along.
