If you know LeBron James, you must also know about his longtime wife, Savannah Brinson. The compulsion is not just because they are married, but because James would have never been the basketball icon he is today if not for her perennial support and love.

"You wouldn't be talking to me right now if it weren't for her," the Los Angeles Lakers star told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018, and rightfully so. 

Brinson has been there with James years before he became a notable name in the sports industry, years before he made it to the 2003 NBA draft as No. 1 overall. Honoring her love and devotion, here we present a few facts that might help you know Brinson like never before.

Savannah Brinson and LeBron James Are High School Sweethearts

Brinson and James's love story originated back in the early 2000s when the couple lived in the same city of Ohio.

The then 16-year-old James had asked their mutual friend to get Brinson's phone number. But Brinson, being the boss lady she is, instead took James' number and called him in leisure. 

The phone call resulted in a meeting at one of his basketball games and eventually a dinner date at an Outback Steakhouse. Then, the couple attended their prom as a couple in 2004. 

They maintained their relationship as girlfriend and boyfriend for almost a decade while experiencing James's unrivaled success as a basketball player.

Finally, on 2011 New Year's Eve, the 36-year-old proposed to his muse with a reported $300,000 pear-shaped diamond engagement ring.

With her acceptance, they tied the knot two years later, at the Capella Chapel Grand Del Mar hotel in San Diego on September 14, 2013.

Brinson is a mother of three children. She was in her senior year of high school when she got pregnant with their first kid. In her own words, she was scared to have a child at such a young age. But James ensured her love and security. 

"I was bawling. But he said, 'It's not going to slow me down, and it's not going to slow you down. We're going to keep doing what we have to do,'" Brinson told Harpers Bazaar in 2010, according to Business Insider. 

With her partner's support, she gave birth to their first child, son LeBron James Jr., on October 6, 2004. Their second son Bryce Maximus arrived on June 14, 2007. 

After that, the pair welcomed their third bundle of joy, daughter Zhuri Nova, into the family on October 22, 2014.
