At 38, Savannah James Makes a Surprising Confession About Her Relationship With LeBron

Savannah James, wife of NBA superstar LeBron James, recently made headlines with a heartfelt revelation about her relationship—not just with her husband, but with her closest friend.

On a December episode of her podcast “Everybody’s Crazy,” co-hosted with longtime friend April McDaniel, Savannah opened up about the concept of soulmates, sharing that LeBron is not her only soulmate.

During a candid discussion with their guests, psychotherapist Vanessa Bennett and psychologist Dean Logan, Savannah revealed that she considers April a soulmate as well.

She admitted, “I didn’t think you could have a soulmate as a friend—I always thought that was someone romantic. But it feels amazing to be truly seen and understood by someone, even outside of a romantic relationship.” Savannah explained that having a friend who accepts her as she is, without trying to change her, brings her a deep sense of comfort and joy.

This confession came just days after fans had warned Savannah to keep an eye on April, following a podcast episode where LeBron called in and April appeared particularly excited.

Despite the playful speculation, Savannah and April have shared a close friendship for over 15 years, collaborating on projects like their podcast and a women’s membership collective called “Let It Break.” Their bond, built on trust and mutual support, is a testament to the importance of platonic soulmates and sisterhood.

Fans responded positively to Savannah’s confession, with many expressing appreciation for the celebration of deep female friendship.

Comments on social media praised Savannah and April for being open about their connection and for highlighting the value of having friends who love and accept you for who you are.

Savannah’s openness about her friendships comes in the context of her high-profile marriage to LeBron James. The couple’s love story began in their hometown of Akron, Ohio, when they were teenagers.

Despite LeBron’s meteoric rise from high school basketball prodigy to NBA legend, Savannah remained his steadfast partner, supporting him through the challenges and pressures of fame. Together, they have raised three children—Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri—while maintaining a strong family unit in the public eye.

However, their journey has not been without its difficulties. The demands of LeBron’s career, constant media scrutiny, and persistent rumors have all placed strain on their relationship.

Savannah has often spoken about the sacrifices she’s made to keep their family grounded, balancing her role as a supportive wife with her own ambitions as an entrepreneur and advocate for women’s empowerment.

Despite occasional rumors and the pressures of fame, LeBron and Savannah have consistently presented a united front, emphasizing their commitment to each other and their family.

Savannah’s recent confession about finding a soulmate in her friend April only highlights her capacity for deep, meaningful relationships—both romantic and platonic.

As LeBron’s career evolves and their children grow, Savannah continues to carve out her own identity and inspire others with her authenticity and resilience.

Her story is a reminder that true partnership, whether in marriage or friendship, is built on mutual respect, understanding, and unwavering support.
