The 2.06-meter-tall (6’7”) American basketball player LeBron Raymone James Sr. has been playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in the North American professional league NBA since the 2018/19 season – and is considered a living legend of his sport. James has been married to Savannah Brinson since 2013. The two have already known each other since high school and have officially been a couple since 2001. They have two sons and one daughter: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri. The American Dream.

Gillian LAUB photographed the spread with LeBron James’ family for the VANITY FAIR September 2022 issue at the home of the superstar in Los Angeles.

We quote Dan Adler, author of the exclusive VF article at home with the James’ : “As LeBron prepares to enter his 20th season as a standard-bearer for the NBA and its ever-growing cultural footprint, his family has assumed increasingly prominent roles in the landscape he has reshaped. V.F. joined them as they gathered at their Los Angeles home to commemorate, in their first photo shoot as a family (including Savannah’s parents, Jennifer and JK, and LeBron’s mother, Gloria), what Savannah described to me as a transitional moment for her children.

For Bronny, who turns eighteen in October, a guard for the high school powerhouse basketball team at Sierra Canyon, it’s about ‘getting to a place to start to make decisions about his career and where he wants to go in his life.’ Zhuri, a precocious seven, has her own successful YouTube lifestyle show, All Things Zhuri (highlights have included segments on baking, yoga, and painting). Bryce, fifteen, Savannah lovingly calls ‘the mystery of the family,’ insofar as he could go in any direction, though he’s also a much-hyped basketball prospect himself.” The spread was styled by Matthew Henson.
