The couple exchanged vows nine years ago but have been together for 21 years, meeting in high school.

"Cheers To Us My Love," Savannah Posted On Social Media
Savannah also shared an anniversary post on her Instagram page captioned, "9 years down(21), forever to go!! Cheers to us my love!!🥂Happy Anniversary!!💕#JamesGang" to which LeBron commented, "Cheers 🥂 my QUEEN 👸🏾!!! ♾️🤎" The comment section was filled with loving anniversary wishes and heart and flame emojis to celebrate the occasion.
LeBron And Savannah Have Been Together For 21 Years
The couple met in high school when Savannah was 16 and LeBron was 17. In 2018, Savannah told Cleveland Magazine how the couple came to be. After LeBron asked a friend for Savannah's phone number, she decided to get his instead. "“I’m like, ‘Um, nope. I’ll take his number,'" she said. "One day I'm sitting around - I was probably bored or something - and I'm like, 'Oh, I forgot! I have this number for this guy that I can call. He seemed interested, so let's see.'" He invited her to one of his basketball games and then the two hung out with friends after the game. Their first solo date happened a few weeks later and the rest is history.

The James Family Is A Busy Family
The family has been busy as the children grow up and start making their own paths. LeBron is about to start his 20th season in the NBA. Bronny will turn 18 in October and is about to make some decisions on his career. Bryce, like Bronny, is a basketball prospect and will also soon be making some decisions on his future. Zhuri has her own successful YouTube show with 205,000 subscribers called, "All Things Zhuri."
And while everyone is busy doing their own things, Savannah described their home dynamic as "quiet" and said, "Everything isn't for everybody." She continued with, "Excuse my language, but we a dope family."
