Savannah James has marked her daughter Zhuri’s birthday with a heartfelt public message celebrating the young James. The family’s youngest member turned eleven, prompting a warm social media tribute from her mother that highlighted her growing personality and confidence.

In an Instagram post, Savannah wrote, “It’s the girl’s birthday!!! 11 years have flown by, but in all the most amazing ways.” She praised her daughter’s intelligence and creativity, adding that Zhuri possesses a self-confidence she herself couldn’t fathom at that age. Savannah expressed immense pride, noting that her own personal growth is a necessity driven by her daughter.

During an appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, Savannah shared how Zhuri inspired her Let It Break initiative and helped her rediscover her identity beyond motherhood. The Reframe Beauty owner revealed “My daughter is who really catapulted me to want to be and do more”.​

Savannah explained that Zhuri once told her she wanted to be just like her mom, which made Savannah stop and question what she had actually accomplished. “Anxiety, nervousness, oh my gosh, what have I done? Have I done anything? Like, why do you want to be like me?” Savannah recalled feeling in that moment.​

For Zhuri’s 10th birthday celebration last year, the James family transformed their $23 million Brentwood mansion with hundreds of balloons and streamers filling the hallways and kitchen. Pink balloons near the windows spelled out the number 10 to mark the special milestone.​

LeBron posted a video of that celebration on his Instagram Stories with the caption “Happy Birthday to my Princess!!!!! @althingszhuri” showing his pride in his daughter. Savannah shared an album that year featuring photos and videos of Zhuri meeting Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson, former President Barack Obama, and singer Olivia Rodrigo.​

The Lakers star opened up about being a girl dad in a video posted on the team’s official Facebook page in March 2024, saying “I’m one of them and wouldn’t trade it for anything”. He added “To be able to see my daughter continue to mature and continue to get bigger and bigger and loving and loving and loving and loving every single day, it’s just super-duper cool just to see her progression in her life is just amazing”.​

Zhuri has become a social media personality with her own Instagram account @allthingszhuri where she has built a following of nearly half a million fans. The mother daughter duo regularly shares dance videos that get attention across Instagram, with one recent clip captioned “After a 7-hour travel day from AZ to CA” showing their fun energy even after a long trip.​

We are looking forward to see the James family pull something extravagant for Zhuri’s birthday like they always do, but this wish from Savannah comes at a time when the James couple is in the headlines for yet another confession by Savannah, about their finances.

Savannah James outs LeBron James’ one habit

Savannah James has offered a rare glimpse into the private financial habits of her superstar husband, LeBron James. During a recent episode of her podcast, “Everybody’s Crazy,” the entrepreneur and philanthropist revealed a trait the NBA legend has maintained throughout their long relationship, despite his immense wealth.

The Lakers star is known for his frugal nature, a characteristic that has persisted over two decades. Savannah revealed that James has never believed in overspending and prefers being wise about his finances. Subsequently Savannah also shared that LeBron being LeBron recently felt the need to advise her on spending. She stated, “I was actually told by my husband from you know, a meeting that he had that I actually need to relax really recently.” This comment highlights LeBron’s ongoing awareness of their finances, even at the peak of his career.

Despite his famous frugality, Savannah clarified her own approach to money. She described herself as very aware of her spending rather than excessive, only making purchases she deems necessary. This self-control, she explained, stems from her upbringing where she never experienced a sense of want. Her parents provided for her needs, which shaped her balanced financial perspective as an adult.

This dynamic shows a interesting balance in their marriage, with LeBron’s cautious nature coexisting with Savannah’s more relaxed but still conscious spending habits. Her revelation provides a humanizing look at how the couple manages their finances, demonstrating that even billionaires have conversations about budgeting and financial awareness.
