Savannah James shares how she maintained her individuality as LeBron James became one of the most popular athletes in the world

A few weeks ago, in a heartfelt interview with Vogue, LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James said, “My mom always instilled a certain level of confidence and self-assurance in me, so I didn’t go into LeBron being in the NBA and having all these spotlights around thinking that I needed to change anything about myself…”


The popular entrepreneur and mother of three added, “I was just going with what I knew, what I was comfortable with, and what I felt looked good on me.”

While LeBron James might be one of the most popular and richest athletes in the world, Savannah James has made a name for herself and continues to have a career of her own as she is a pretty successful entrepreneur.

Back in December 2025, LeBron James opened up about his wife’s success and said, “She’s knocking it out of the park right now. I’m super proud of her. She’s tapped into herself and the things she loves to do, things she wants to create for herself and her following.”

The 41 year old NBA icon added, “Between Reframe, Let it Break and Everybody’s Crazy, it’s just an unbelievable thing to see her take her step in the direction she’s kinda dreaming about or aspiring to be and to see the people that follow her, people that see her do it organically, everything she does there’s no fake in it, no fraudulent behind her…”

LeBron James has been pretty vocal about how Savannah James managed their home and their three children so that he could focus on his career in the league.
