The couple’s three children are LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., 19, Bryce Maximus, 16, and Zhuri Nova, 9. While Bronny and Bryce were born prior to the couple’s 2013 wedding, Zhuri was born just over a year later.

LeBron and Savannah James’ social media profiles reveal a clear aspiration for both Bronny and Bryce to follow in their father’s footsteps on the basketball court. In a February 2022 interview with The Athletic, LeBron James expressed his desire to cap off his NBA career by playing alongside his eldest son, Bronny. He confidently stated, “I plan to spend my final year playing with my son. I’ll be hanging out wherever Bronny is.”

In a similar sentiment, LeBron shared with Sports Illustrated in 2022, “I put it in the air because I like to talk to the basketball gods out there and see if things can come to fruition.” Reflecting on his career, he mentioned, “I have always prayed to the basketball gods and set goals for my career, and they have always answered my prayers. I’m hoping they’ll give this one a chance, too.” The Sports Illustrated cover for that issue prominently featured Bronny and Bryce, aptly tagged as “Chosen Sons,” a nod to LeBron James being dubbed “The Chosen One” on the magazine’s cover back in 2002.

The NBa icon has openly discussed his feelings for his kids, telling Access Hollywood in 2021, “My daughter and my boys are the best things in my life.” So, regardless of what I’m doing, I always get excited when she smiles. Even so, he has expressed his emotional pain at being apart from his wife and children while traveling with the NBa, saying to US President Today, “I miss the crap out of my family.” My spouse, my kids, and my mother make up my family. The list is endless. It is a really challenging task.

As LeBron James achieved the monumental feat of becoming the NBA’s all-time top scorer in February 2023, his wife and children proudly witnessed the historic moment from the stands. The entire James family swiftly gathered at the Crypto.com Arena to partake in the on-court celebration. Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri recorded a heartfelt video to commemorate their father’s upcoming anniversary.

“Congratulations, Dad. Your dedication is truly impressive,” expressed Bronny. Bryce chimed in, saying, “I love you so much. Congratulations on surpassing Kareem as the all-time leading scorer. You have my utmost admiration. Never give up!”

During the 2023 ESPYs in July, LeBron was honored with the award for the best record-breaking performance after eclipsing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA scoring record. Savannah, accompanied by the couple’s three children on stage, delivered a brief speech about her husband before presenting him with the prestigious prize. Zhuri, the youngest, made some edits to the speech to ensure it was suitable for television.

Savannah, intending to express admiration, initially exclaimed, “LeBron James is the baddest mother—,” but she was playfully interrupted by Zhuri, who exclaimed, “Mom!” in response to the unexpected language. With a shake of her head, the young child signaled her mother to refrain from swearing in front of the audience.

Undeterred, the mom-of-three restarted her tribute, stating, “I believe LeBron James is the most exceptional player to ever grace a basketball floor. Your dedication is unparalleled, and nobody has contributed more to basketball or cares more about the game.”

Explore the stories of the three James children, all born to LeBron and Savannah, right here.

LeBron and Savannah’s eldest child, LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., entered the world on October 6, 2004, and has now reached the age of 19. Bronny’s basketball journey began at a young age, showcasing the potential to join an NBA team as early as the 2024-2025 season.

Noteworthy milestones pepper Bronny’s basketball career. In 2019, during a visit to his father’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, he played a pivotal role in inspiring Sierra Canyon School to victory. At just 16, Bronny graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in July 2021, six months younger than his father was when he earned the same honor in 2002.

LeBron has openly expressed his commitment to doing “whatever it takes” to spend his final professional basketball season playing alongside his eldest son. In a February 2022 interview with The Athletic, he declared, “My final year will be played with my son. I’ll be hanging out wherever Bronny is. Anything for a year of uninterrupted playtime with my son. When you get to that stage, money doesn’t matter.”

The bond between father and son deepened when Bronny signed an endorsement agreement with Nike just days after turning 18. LeBron celebrated this milestone on Instagram, sharing a photo and video with the caption, “The Legacy Continues On!! Good job, young king!”

The James family wholeheartedly supported Bronny during his high school senior night game on January 11, 2023, with post-game photos capturing the joyous occasion. Bronny’s achievements were further recognized when he was selected for the McDonald’s All American Game, a particularly meaningful achievement as his father had also made the team in 2003.

LeBron took to Instagram to express his pride, captioning a screenshot of Bronny’s roster, “Ayyyyyyyeeeee @bronny!!!!!! Well done, Son! So damn proud of you! No matter what happens, stay true to who you are. You are totally incredible!”

Shortly after, Bronny embarked on his collegiate basketball journey by signing with USC, sharing the news with a May 2023 Instagram post captioned, “Fight on #committed.”

In an unexpected turn of events, Bronny experienced a heart incident during a workout at USC in July 2023. Quick medical attention stabilized his condition, and he was later discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The James family expressed confidence in Bronny’s full recovery.

Moving on to James Bryce Maximus, born on June 14, 2007, during the 2007 NBA Finals, LeBron and Savannah welcomed their second son. LeBron, amid a comeback attempt against the Spurs, expressed joy over Bryce’s birth. In 2017, LeBron posted an Instagram video singing “Happy Birthday” to Bryce on his tenth birthday, expressing pride in being his father.

Bryce, an avid basketball player like his father and older brother, completed sixth grade in 2021. He occasionally shared his school’s basketball games on Instagram. By August 2022, Bryce received his first Division I scholarship offer from Duquesne University, marking a significant step in his basketball journey.
