LeBron James Details Marriage to Savannah James

LeBron James is taking himself off the pedestal.

Because when it comes to his and Savannah James’ decade-long marriage, the NBA superstar insisted that their relationship is far from “picture perfect.”

“I’m gonna be honest,” LeBron said during a Sept. 18 episode of Speedy Morman’s 360 with Speedy podcast. “A relationship is never picture perfect. But if you’re okay with working through the hardships and the adverse moments, then it will make it all worth it.”

After all, the couple—who met as teenagers while attending rival high schools—has had plenty of time to learn how to navigate even the hardest bumps in their relationship.

“We’ve been together since high school, so s–t ain’t gonna always be a bed of roses,” the 40-year-old continued. “In any relationship, let alone someone you’ve been living with for 20 years.”

As for what he considers the secret to their lasting romance? Well, Lebron and Savannah—who share kids Bronny James, 20, Bryce James, 18, and Zhuri James, 10—live by three main principles.
