While LeBron and Savannah James are NBA stars, their most significant titles are parents.

The couple has three children: LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., 19, Bryce Maximus, 16, and Zhuri Nova, 9. Bronny and Bryce were born before the couple’s 2013 wedding, and Zhuri followed a year later.

Bronny and Bryce’s social media sites show they want to play basketball like their fathers. LeBron informed The Athletic in February 2022 that he would play his last NBA season alongside his eldest kid. “I’ll play my last year with my kid. Wherever Bronny is, I’ll be.”

LeBron told Sports Illustrated in 2022, “I put it in the air to speak to the basketball gods and see if things may happen. I’ve always established professional objectives and consulted the basketball gods, who have always listened. I hope they can hear this final one.” The cover featured Bronny and Bryce with their father with the title “Chosen Sons.” (LeBron’s 2002 SI cover called him “The Chosen One.”)

In 2021, the NBA star told Access Hollywood, “My daughter and sons are my biggest joys. She smiling makes me happy no matter what I’m doing.” While on the road with the NBA, he has expressed the emotional impact of being away from his wife and children, telling USA Today, “I miss my family terribly. Family—wife, kids, mother. And so forth. A major task.”

LeBron became the NBA’s all-time top scorer in February 2023 with his wife and children courtside. His family raced to Crypto.com Arena to rejoice with him. Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri prepared video messages for their dad before the milestone.

Congratulations, dad. Your hard effort makes me proud. Bronny remarked, “I adore you. Bryce added: “Congrats, dad, for surpassing Kareem in scoring. So proud of you. I adore you. Keep going.”

In July 2023, LeBron won the greatest record-breаking performance ESPY after shattering Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA scoring record. Savannah, accompanied by the couple’s three children, spoke about her husband before giving the prize. Zhuri helped her make it TV-friendly.

Zhuri interrupted Savannah’s “LeBron James is the baddest mother—” with “Mom!” Little kid shook her head, telling Savannah not to curse in front of the crowd.

“I think LeBron James is the baddest to ever play basketball,” the mother of three repeated. Nobody works harder. Nobody cares more or has done more for basketball.”

Get all the details on LeBron and Savannah James’ three kids.

On October 6, 2004, LeBron and Savannah had their first baby, LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. Bronny started playing basketball as a toddler and might join the NBA in 2024-2025.

Bronny has achieved much. In a tҺrilling game in Akron, Ohio, LeBron’s hometown, Sierra Canyon School defeated his dad’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, in 2019. He appeared on the Sports Illustrated cover aged 16 in July 2021, six months younger than his father in 2002.

LeBron said he would do “whatever it takes” to play alongside his eldest kid in his last year of professional basketball. His final year will be with my kid, he told The Athletic in February 2022. Wherever Bronny is, I’ll be. I would do everything to play with my kid for a year. It’s not about money now.”

In October 2022, Bronny earned an endorsement contract with Nike a few days after turning 18. LeBron celebrated on Instagram by posting a picture and video of him and his kid on the basketball court. The ecstatic father, a Nike athlete throughout his pro career, captioned the Instagram post, “The Legacy Continues On!! Congrats King Young!”

Bronny’s parents, siblings, and younger brother Bryce attended his high school senior night game on Jan. 11, 2023. All the family took photographs on the court after the game.

Later same month, Bronny was one of 24 high students selected for the 46th McDonald’s All-American Game. Bronny is honored to play in the renowned game since he can follow in his father’s footsteps, who made the squad in 2003.

LeBron posted an Instagram roster screenshot to honor his son’s success.

“Ayyyyyy bronny! Congratulations, Son! Very proud of you!” he captioned. Keep being you no matter what! You’re incredible!”

After committing to USC, Bronny began his collegiate basketball career. The youthful athlete declared his choice in a May 2023 Instagram post showing himself in the Trojans’ locker room.

He captioned the photo with “Fig��t On #committed.”

In July 2023, Bronny had heart arrest after a USC exercise. The following day, a James family official said, “Medical workers treated Bronny and hospitalized him. He is stable and out of ICU.”

LeBron updated Bronny’s health later that week.

“Everyone doing great,” he tweeted. Our family is secure and well, and we feel your love. We’ll sаy more when we’re ready, but I wаnted to sаy how much your support has meant to us! #JamesGang.”

Within a week, Cedars-Sinai released Bronny. Following month, a James family spokeswoman claimed they were “very confident in Bronny’s full recovery.”

Bryce Maximus James joined the family on June 14, 2007, during the NBA Finals. LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers were hoping to beаt the San Antonio Spurs when Bryce was born. LeBron and Savannah’s spokesman told PEOPLE, “LeBron and Savannah are overjoyed with the birth of their son and are looking forward to bringing him home to his big brother, LeBron Jr.”

LeBron posted a video on Instagram of himself singing “Happy Birthday” to Bryce on his 10th birthday in 2017. The video description said, “Happy Bryce Maximus birthday! I can’t believe you’re 10. Timing is fast. I love you Young and am glad to be your father every day! “#ZhuriLikeThatsMyCakeToo .”Bryce graduated middle school 2021. Bryce, like his father and elder brother, plays basketball and posts images from school games on Instagram. He won his first Division I basketball scholarship from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in August 2022.

On Oct. 22, 2014, LeBron and Savannah had their third child, daughter Zhuri Nova James, a year after their wedding.

Little girl has fashion sense. When she was 5, Zhuri helped establish Janie and Jack x Harlem’s Fashion Row apparel line in 2020. Host Zhuri told PEOPLE, “I’m most excited about the fashion and talking to the designers.” She also “practiced with” her parents before the big day.

Zhuri likes extravagant presents, and in October 2020, LeBron showed off his beautiful playhouse, designed after their family home, before her birthday. Instagram video caption: “Early birthday present, princess! Baby Z, love you.”

Zhuri saw her father’s Space Jam: A New Legacy with them in July 2021. The three smiled on the purple carpet before the ceremony.

LeBron sent a touching Instagram tribute to his daughter’s 8th birthday in October 2022. The pleased dad’s carousel post featured a picture of the father-daughter combo in identical beige overalls and a tattoo of Zhuri as a newborn.

“Happy Birthday, Lovely Princess of the Kingdom @allthingszhuri! “Daddy’s Little Girl ️!” his caption said. “I adore you! Infinity and beyond!”
