Savannah James: Meet LeBron’s Wife, His High School Heartthrob

• LeBron James and his wife Savannah met when they were teenagers in high school.
• Savannah was born and raised in Akron Ohio, just like NBA star LeBron.
• She married LeBron in 2013 and have been together for two decades.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron and Savannah James have been together since high school, and their love story has been visibly amazing ever since.

Savannah has witnessed LeBron get to the very top of the basketball pyramid and as he competes in his 20th season, he will certainly go down as one of the best NBA players of all time.

The couple met in 2002 in high school. LeBron James attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio whilst his future wife attended a rival high school, where she was a softball player and a cheerleader.

The former Cleveland Cavaliers star then invited her to a basketball game, and she agreed. And as they say, the rest is history. The two went on to start a family together after tying the knot, per People.

Savannah grew up in Akron, Ohio, just like LeBron. She was the youngest of five siblings and attended Buchtel High School. She was 16 when she met a 17-year-old LeBron.
