LeBron James has one of the best success stories in sports history. The kid from Akron has cemented his name among the basketball greats by accomplishing many feats in his NBA career. Off the court, LeBron never got himself into trouble and prioritized his role as a father to his three kids above everything else, creating a benchmark for other athletes to follow. Apart from his on-court athleticism, his basketball IQ and his ability to keep himself healthy, LeBron is also popular among hoops fans as an ardent family man. 

King James considers his wife, Savannah James, the real reason for his NBA success. Savannah has been with LeBron since his high school days and the couple have built an empire, overcoming many hurdles. Recently, she revealed how she cuts off all the rumors and gossip in a very fickle industry to keep the James family together.

Talking to Sylvia Obell of “The Cut”, Savannah James opened up about her life, her kids, and her bond with husband LeBron James. NBA players are often accused of cheating on their spouses/partners, with or without any definitive evidence. The Ime Udoka cheating scandal, that prompted the Boston Celtics to suspend their then-head coach, is still fresh in the memories of NBA fans.

During the interview, Savannah James revealed how she deals with similar rumors and other kinds of gossip involving her husband.

Savannah said, “I’m not a comment reader because I feel like that is going to put you into a rabbit hole that you don’t want to be in. I don’t think that there are misconceptions about me out there that I would even be inclined to address.”

Back in 2020, when LeBron won his 4th ring with the LA Lakers, rumors started circulating about LeBron potentially cheating on his wife. Savannah and LeBron both refused to address such rumors publicly. Finally, it was discovered that those were baseless rumors without any foundation or truth. Seems like Mrs. James trusts her husband above all and believes in him. They have been together for 22 long years and Savannah has faith in her husband’s loyalty.
