'She was with me when I had nothing': LeBron James opens up about his enduring relationship with wife Savannah

"She was there with me. You wouldn’t be talking to me right now if it weren’t for her," says James of his wife Savannah, who he recently celebrated his fifth anniversary with.

Last week, NBA superstar and four-time MVP LeBron James celebrated his fifth wedding anniversary with his wife, Savannah Brinson. We all know Le Bron doesn't shy away from expressing his love for his betrothed, regularly calling her “his queen” (fitting considering the man is nicknamed 'King James') on social media, and often showering praise on her for being an awesome wife and mother.

In a recent cover story by The Hollywood Reporter, James got candid as he spoke about Savannah, who was once his high school sweetheart, and how he wouldn’t be the man he is today without her.

“We have been down since high school,” he said at Harlem’s Fashion Row gala earlier this month. “I listen to a lot of rap music, and a good friend of mine said, ‘You wasn’t with me shooting in the gym'," referencing a line from the 2012 song 'Stay Schemin’ by Drake.
