As a highschooler Savannah James feared sharing her first pregnancy with her parents
Lebron James and Savannah James met in St. Vincent–St. Mary High School, a private Catholic school in Akron, Ohio and started dating since then.
He was just a freshman in the NBA and Savannah was in her senior year of high school when they found out they were pregnant with their first child.
However, as Savannah and Lebron were not expecting such a huge change in their lives at a crucial point, she was very scared to share the news of her pregnancy to her parents.
Savannah recalled those moment during an interview with Harper Bazaar and said, “I was thinking, What am I going to tell my parents?’ What’s going to happen to his career?’ I was very scared. I was bawling.”
Additionally, she also mentioned that her parents never sat her down and explained the complexities of a relationship which made it more difficult to share the news to them.
However, Savannah eventually shared the news to her parents and her now-husband Lebron was right there with her throughout.
