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.

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.
