Savannah James once spoke candidly on challenges in high school while dating LeBron James: "I was fighting. I had to defend myself"

Savannah James and LeBron James tied the knot in 2013 after dating for a long time. Since then, the couple has come a long way and inspired a great relationship for the younger generations.

However, Savannah James once revealed she had to face challenges and even get involved in fights while dating the Lakers star during high school. During one segment of the Jun. 4 episode of the "Everybody's Crazy" podcast, James and her co-host, April McDaniels, discussed the Lakers star's wife's experience as a high schooler.

Savannah James' wife shared she used to get into fights because other girls did not like her.

"I was fighting,” Savannah said. “I don’t. But I had to defend myself. I had a lot of that. I had girls who didn’t like me and couldn’t tell nobody why they didn’t like me."

"I do feel like a lot of the fights I had, it was just me being an ally of my friends. I don’t feel like I really fought a fight that was my fight. Because I was nice. I got a long a majority of everybody.

Later, McDaniels suggested that Savannah's relationship with James might have contributed to her low likeability among her peers.

"They’re like, ‘Why couldn’t it be me?" McDaniels said.

LeBron and Savannah have been married for almost a decade and have three children. Their oldest son, Bronny James, plays the NBA alongside his father on the LA Lakers squad. Their second son, Bryce, plays for Sierra Canyon High School, and their daughter, Zhuri, is in middle school.

LeBron James' wife Savannah shares the reason behind reduced dates with her husband

Savannah James explained why her number of romantic outings with LeBron has reduced. On the latest episode of the "Everybody's Crazy" podcast, she shed light on her life.

"My love language is also quality time and I think that it just depends on the mood," Savannah James said. "I am totally okay spending time in the house, on the couch snuck withing watching TV. We can watch movies or scary movies or we can get dressed and go out.

In my situation unfortunately it airs on the side of being in and watching TV just because LeBron has such a strenuous job. 'He's like when I am home, I wanna be home. I am not tryna be outside,' which I totally understand and I am cool with but I like to get dressed up and go sometimes too. So, I understand."

The Lakers are amid a four-game road trip where they have won the game against Utah and lost against the Timberwolves. They will take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday before home.
