NEED TO KNOW

LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James, share three childrenThey welcomed their oldest, LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., on Oct. 6, 2004Their second son, Bryce, was born on June 14, 2007, followed by their daughter, Zhuri, on Oct. 22, 2014

LeBron James is best known for his legendary NBA career, but off the court, he’s a proud dad.

He and wife Savannah James have three children together: LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., Bryce Maximus and Zhuri Nova Both Bronny and Bryce were born before the couple’s wedding in 2013, and Zhuri arrived a little over a year after the big day.

The NBA great has shared how much he loves his kids, telling Access Hollywood in 2021, “My daughter is the greatest thing in my life, along with my boys. So, whenever she smiles, it don’t matter what I’m doing, it makes me happy.”

In February 2023, LeBron’s wife and children were sitting courtside when he became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. Ahead of the milestone, Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri recorded congratulatory video messages for their dad.

“Congratulations, dad. Proud of all the work you’ve done. I love you so much,” Bronny said. Bryce added: “Congratulations, dad surpassing Kareem for all-time scoring. I’m so proud of you. I love you. Keep it up.”

Bronny is following in his father’s footsteps on the basketball court. In June 2024, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers as the 55th overall pick — fulfilling LeBron’s longtime dream of getting to play in the NBA alongside his elder son.

Here is everything to know about LeBron and Savannah James’ three children.

LeBron and Savannah’s first son, LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., was born on Oct. 6, 2004.

He began playing basketball as a child and has been very successful in the sport. In 2019, he led his high school, Sierra Canyon School, to a win against his dad’s alma mater. Three years later, Bronny was chosen as one of 24 high schoolers for the 46th annual McDonald’s All-American Game.

He is also quickly becoming a household name. At age 16, he landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated; a few days after turning 18, Bronny signed an endorsement deal with Nike.

LeBron’s eldest eventually committed to the University of Southern California (USC). He spent one season with the Trojans before being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in June 2024.

“This is a historic moment because LeBron and Bronny are the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time and on the same team,” former Lakers player Magic Johnson wrote on X.

The two played their first game together in October 2024, something that LeBron told ESPN “means everything” to him.

“For someone who didn’t have that growing up, to be able to have that influence on your kids and have influence on your son, be able to have moments with your son, and ultimately to be able to work with your son, I think that’s one of the greatest things that a father can ever hope for or wish for,” he said.

However, Bronny’s path to basketball success has not always been smooth. On July 24, 2023, he had a major health scare when he went into cardiac arrest during a workout at USC. Bronny was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center within the week and made his USC basketball debut in December 2023.

In 2026, Bronny has continued to follow in his dad’s footsteps, including making headlines for his performance in a February game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Bryce Maximus James joined the family on June 14, 2007 — right in the middle of the 2007 NBA Finals.

At the time of Bryce’s birth, LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers were trying to make a comeback against the San Antonio Spurs. A representative for LeBron and Savannah told PEOPLE at the time, “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 celebrated Bryce’s 10th birthday in a big way in 2017 when he shared a video on Instagram of himself singing “Happy Birthday” to his son. He captioned the video, “Happy Bday Bryce Maximus!! Can’t believe you’re 10 years old man. Time is serious flying. Love you Young 👑 and u make me proud to be your father every single day!! #ZhuriLikeThatsMyCakeToo 😂😂😂😂.”

Bryce graduated from middle school in 2021 and from high school in 2025. Just like his father and older brother before him, Bryce plays basketball. In August 2022, he received his first Division I scholarship offer from Duquesne University.

Later that same month, Bryce and Bronny appeared alongside their dad on the cover of Sports Illustrated. They were deemed the “Chosen Sons,” a nod to LeBron’s iconic Sports Illustrated cover in 2002, which famously proclaimed him as “The Chosen One.”

In January 2025, Bryce committed to playing basketball for the University of Arizona.

“CONGRATULATIONS MAXIMUS!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!” LeBron wrote on Instagram regarding the announcement.

A year after LeBron and Savannah got married, they welcomed their third child, daughter Zhuri Nova James, on Oct. 22, 2014.

The little girl already has an eye for fashion. When she was just 5 years old, Zhuri helped launch Janie and Jack x Harlem’s Fashion Row clothing collection in 2020. Zhuri told PEOPLE about hosting the event, “I’m most excited about the fashion and talking to the designers.” She also noted that she “practiced with” her mom ahead of the big day.

LeBron loves to give Zhuri big gifts, and in October 2020 he showed off the new playhouse he bought ahead of her birthday, which was modeled off their family home. He shared a video on Instagram, captioning it, “Early bday gift my princess!!!!! Love you baby Z.”

In July 2021, Zhuri joined her parents for the premiere of her father’s movie Space Jam: A New Legacy. The three were all smiles on the purple carpet before the event.

At the 2023 ESPYs in July, LeBron received the award for best record-breaking performance after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA scoring record. Before presenting him with the award, Savannah, who was joined by the couple’s three children onstage, said a few words about her husband — and Zhuri helped her keep it TV-friendly.

Savannah started to say, “LeBron James is the baddest mother—,” only to be cut off by Zhuri, who said, “Mom!” The little girl shook her head, jokingly urging Savannah not to swear in front of the audience.

The mom-of-three started over and said: “I think LeBron James is the baddest to ever set foot on a basketball court. Nobody works harder. Nobody cares more and nobody has done more for the game of basketball.”

Canzi & Bonansea: We know our ability, we’ll do our all to advance

The Juventus Women’s First Team are in midweek European action, with the playoff round of the Women’s Champions League taking them away to Germany to take on Wolfsburg on Thursday for a 18:45 CET kick-off. 

Bianconere boss Massimiliano Canzi was joined by Barbara Bonansea for the usual Matchday -1 press conference. Here’s what they had to say.

BARBARA BONANSEA

“There have been games and moments when we’ve felt well, but we’ve probably grown a lot in these last few years. Thinking about the challenges we’ve faced this year and the games we’ve played, I have to say that we’re more mature, especially when you look at the Champions League. We’re determined and aware that we can beat anybody. We’re coming up against strong teams, but we’re a strong side as well, and I’m sure that nobody would want to play us. We’re a mature group and ready to go out there and play on the big stage.

“Thankfully, thanks to the space I’ve been afforded in the team and the work done in training, I feel like I’m back in form after some physical problems, and I feel like I can help my teammates. I feel good, I don’t know if I’d say I’m at 100% but I’m in good shape. There’s no secret to lasting this long as a player, I have fun playing football, I always train to my maximum, and I find it hard to take it easy even during the week.

MASSIMILIANO CANZI

“These are knockout games, so the focus and motivation take care of themselves. I’m lucky to have a squad of players with experience, so I don’t need to add much from a mental side of things. 

“We need to be attentive to Wolfsburg’s quality, their way of playing and to be respectful of a club that has, in the past, done big things in Europe. The group are in good shape, we’ll be without Martina Rosucci and Cecilia Salvai, though both will be with the group, just not involved.

“On a personal note, it will be an emotional experience for me. It’s an objective I’ve had since starting my journey in July 2024, and along the way I’ve already taken huge satisfaction. It’s no coincidence that we’re here, we’re here because we deserve to be. We should be happy to play on such a stage, but also be aware of our quality. Our strength this year has been our defensive solidity, and we know that organisation and work rate without the ball will be crucial. Great teams must be able to win games in many different ways, be it by dominating or by knowing how to suffer. We’ll give our all to advance to the next round.”

If you ask star forward Jayson Tatum about whether his recent workout with the Maine Celtics is proof positive of his potential return to action this season, the St. Louis native would tell you that it is not. In fact, Tatum has quite literally answered that specific question that way this week in the wake of the strongest signs yet he may take the court for Boston at some point in the 2025-26 NBA regular season.

But according to recent reporting from the Stein Line’s Jake Fischer, there have been some convinced of his return from the moment the front office elected to trade Anfernee Simons for Chicago Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic. Per Fischer he has heard that, “the Celtics’ decision to acquire Nikola Vucevic from Chicago before the trade deadline, in exchange for Anfernee Simons’ expiring contract, was a clear indicator that Boston believes Tatum will indeed return for a postseason run.”

That of course does not mean that these sources can read Tatum’s mind, or that the Duke alum can’t change it regardless of how he is progressing physically.

The mental aspect of recovery will be at least as important as the physical, and the only person who can answer that aspect of his recovery is the man himself.

Mercifully for fans of the team pining to see in on the parquet again, all things continue to point toward what those unnamed sources were thinking when Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and company elected to add Vooch to the team.
