Meet LeBron James’ 3 kids with wife Savannah: the NBA basketball billionaire’s sons Bronny and Bryce Maximus are following in their dad’s footsteps, while 8-year-old Zhuri Nova is a YouTube star
But he’s equally focused on his family as his successful career.
LeBron has been with his wife Savannah, 36, since high school and the couple have three children together: Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri. LeBron, 38, has regularly praised his wife for keeping their family together, raising their children and being a great life sidekick.
But the James family were thrown into disarray this week after their eldest, Bronny, suffered a cardiac arrest at just 18 years old.
Here’s what you need to know about the royal family of basketball …
1. LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., 18
Now 18, Bronny has committed to playing for the USC Trojans at the start of the next season, per Independent. The publication reports that his talent on the court has sparked speculation that he will be drafted into the NBA in the next few years.
Bronny graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles this spring, per CNN. At 190cm (6ft 3 inches), Bronny is known as a combo guard in basketball and was given a four-star recruit rating during the McDonald’s All-American Game in March, per the same source.
However, the sports world was shocked when Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during a basketball practice session at the University of South California on Monday. Reports stated that he was initially taken to the ICU, but soon stabilised and was moved to another ward. His family have requested privacy, but sources have said they are “relieved” that he is out of ICU.
2. Bryce Maximus, 16
LeBron has close ties to the university, with the team’s head coach Keith Dambrot previously coaching the basketball star when he was a high school student, states the same source.
People magazine reports that, last summer, Bryce and Bronny played for the California Basketball Club while competing against teams from Paris, Rome and London. The brothers share a close relationship; after Bronny’s cardiac arrest, Bryce shared a picture of the two of them together on his Instagram Stories.
3. Zhuri Nova, 8
Influencer, YouTube star, fashionista – Zhuri Nova is practically the princess of the James household at just eight years old. Born in Ohio in 2014, she is the youngest child of the family.
According to People magazine, she helped launch clothing brand Janie and Jack’s collection: Janie and Jack x Harlem’s Fashion Row when she was five. The publication reports that Zhuri hosted an event for the launch of the collection. She has a YouTube channel, All Things Zhuri, with around 207,000 subscribers.
