NBA superstar LeBron James, who is the four-time NBA champion often called “King James,” demonstrated the above in a major way on Friday evening when he surprised his wife Savannah James with a birthday celebration fit for a queen.
Giveon, a Grammy-nominated R&B singer, performed live at Savannah James’ 35th birthday event.
The couple arrived at the private celebration at the Classic Cat restaurant in West Hollywood in videos posted to LeBron’s @kingjames Instagram account. Savannah, who turned 35 on Friday, looked stunning in a black dress with black heels and golden blonde hair styled into a bob. James wore a silver chain with his logo and wore a designer button-down shirt.
Savannah captioned a video of her look taken by her hairstylist King Carter on her Instagram Story, “take me TF ova! Love y’all!”.
The interior of the venue was decorated with purple and pink-themed balloons, flowers, feathers, lights, and large photos of Savannah posing in various styles lined the walls in gold-coloured frames.
As part of the party’s live entertainment, shinily dressed trapeze artists swung overhead as pole dancers performed on stage, which included a surprise performance by Grammy-nominated R&B singer Giveon.
LeBron even took a turn on the mic, serenading his wife of over seven years with a passionate performance of the “Happy Birthday” song.
Zhuri James, LeBron and Savannah’s 6-year-old daughter, wished her “momie and bestie” a happy birthday with an adorable photo of the duo seated together posted to her parent-run Instagram account @allthingszhuri.
Throughout the night, several celebrities from the NBA’s First Family made appearances, including Rich Paul, LeBron’s agent and Klutch Sports owner, who appeared with his new girlfriend, 15-time Grammy-winning singer Adele.
After being seen dancing fervently to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s hit 2020 single WAP, the Rolling in the Deep singer made headlines of her own.
NBA all-star Russell Westbrook, entrepreneur and longtime friend of LeBron’s Maverick Carter, and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach and former colleague of LeBron’s Jared Dudley were among the other celebrities in attendance.
In September, LeBron and Savannah will celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary. They have been together since they were both in high school in Akron, Ohio.
Zhuri and her two elder brothers, 16-year-old LeBron “Bronny” James, Jr., and 14-year-old Bryce Maximus James, are the couple’s three children.
