Throughout arguably one of the most successful careers in the history of the NBA, LeBron James has become synonymous with the sport of basketball. Whether it be through his prowess on the court, his charitable donations, or his outspoken advocacy for social justice initiatives, LeBron has carved out his own lane within basketball, becoming more of a celebrity figure than most athletes could ever dream of.
Fans may be familiar with LeBron the basketball player, Space Jam actor, and the Black Lives Matter advocate, but he is also adamantly a family man and keeps his wife and kids near and dear at all times. So, what do we know about LeBron's family? Keep reading to find out!
How many biological kids does LeBron James have?
LeBron is the proud father of three children, and they all play an important role in his life. Keep scrolling to get to know his oldest son, LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., and his other two kids, Bryce Maximus and Zhuri Nova.
LeBron "Bronny" James Jr.
LeBron's first son, LeBron James Jr. (known by friends and family as Bronny), was born in 2004 and graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in California in May 2023. Bronny is arguably LeBron's most well-known child due to his own basketball skills, which he had been building while playing for his high school's team.
Bronny now attends the University of Southern California (USC) where he plays combo guard position for the Trojans.
In July 2023, Bronny sent his friends and family into a panic after he went into cardiac arrest while participating in a workout at USC, per AP News. Stephanie Rosa of the LeBron James Family Foundation later issued a statement saying, “It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated." Thankfully, Bronny is doing better these days and has returned to the court.
Bryce Maximus James
LeBron's second child, Bryce Maximus James, was born in 2007. He currently attends and plays basketball for Sierra Canyon High School. At one point, Bryce was enrolled at Campbell Hall High School and Notre Dame High School, but eventually transferred back to Sierra, per Sports Illustrated. Like his father and brother, Bryce is quite good at basketball, so it’s no surprise he holds offers from Ohio State, Duquesne, and USC, Sports Illustrated noted.
Zhuri James
The third and youngest child of the basketball star is his only daughter who has become a star in her own right as well (but not through basketball). Zhuri James was born in 2014, and quickly took to the lifestyle of being a social media influencer, making her own YouTube channel (most likely with some help!) and taking fondly to public appearances alongside her dad.
Zhuri’s YouTube channel, All Things Zhuri, has over 204,000 subscribers, and on Instagram, she has over 431,000 followers. Wow Zhuri!
LeBron's wife, Savannah Brinson, has remained by his side through thick and thin.
The mother of LeBron's children and his high school sweetheart is Savannah Brinson. The couple have been married since 2013, but their relationship extends back much further than that. The duo began dating when LeBron was just 17 and Savannah only 16, and she was committed to him long before he began to make a name for himself as a pro basketball star.
Throughout his career and as things began to get more serious for the duo, LeBron constantly explained how important Savannah was to his overall success in life. Even today, the athlete says his family is the most important thing in his life, even more important than basketball.
When Savannah isn't handling family business matters, she's handling her own ventures. Savannah announced that she and April McDaniel are launching a podcast, Everybody’s Crazy, on April 30, 2024.
What's LeBron James's net worth? He hit billionaire status in 2023.
As you'd expect from one of the most famous athletes on the planet, LeBron has been compensated very well over the years for his efforts in the NBA as well as side projects such as Space Jam, commercial deals, his Nike contract, and other partnerships.
According to Forbes, LeBron reached a $1 billion net worth in 2023 and has since climbed to $1.2 billion in 2024.
