Lebron James’ girlfriend and mother of his two sons, Savannah Brinson, was recently profiled by Harper’s Bazaar magazine; the interview revealed a lot about the woman who has been by BronBron’s side for the last 8 years — primarily that she’s not into rocking the boat — even if that means being a baby mama instead of a wife, and commuting back and forth between Miami and Cleveland. Poor thang!
One thing we were not surprised to hear was that Savannah wasn’t thrilled about Lebron’s decision to go to Miami. After all, who wants their man playing in a city that is a hotbed for HOES? At the end of the day though, Savannah just rolled with the punches:
“Personally, Miami was not my favorite place. Vacationing there is great: You go for three days and get some sun, and it’s time to go home,” she explains. But the weather helped win her over. “When they told me it doesn’t get any colder than 50 degrees, that sold me. We get below-zero weather in Cleveland. … I can’t wait to have a sunny Christmas,” she says. “It will definitely be an adjustment, but we’ll make it. We’re not complaining.”
“Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I’m with him,” she continues. “I just love him so much. We’re soul mates.”
It’s just such devotion that makes James gush about his longtime love. “A person like myself always needs a great sidekick and a person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she’s that,” he says. “She’s got my back, and I love her for that.”
While James settles in on his new home court, Brinson plans to split her time between Miami and Akron. She didn’t want to uproot her sons—LeBron Jr., five, and Bryce Maximus, three—from their neighborhood, where LeBron Jr. will be starting kindergarten in the fall. “Cleveland is home,” she says. “Nothing is going to change about that.”
Some cynics might argue that long distance and superstar athlete equals disaster. And if VH1′s hit series “Basketball Wives” is to be believed, Miami groupies are as gorgeous as they are aggressive. Fresh from the Midwest and flush with cash, James could be quite the target. But Brinson isn’t nervous about their partnership. “I’m not worried,” she declares, sounding assured. “We’re good. Our relationship is good.”
Her mother, Jennifer, who has been minding the kids while Brinson talks, makes a good point: “Don’t you think he knows the difference between ruthlessness and love?” she asks. “If LeBron was going to do something shady, he can do that around the corner. He doesn’t have to go to Miami.”
In fact, it’s their honesty with each other, Brinson says, that has sustained the couple’s relationship through all the hoopla: “We communicate very well. Before, there might have been issues that I was afraid to address, but now we keep it real with each other.”
Whoa Whoa Whoa… wait a minute? That started out sweet, but ummm is this broad delusional? You want your kid to start kindergarten in Cleveland? It’s kindergarten we’re talking about here — not high school. SMH. Savannah you better take Little Bron and Bryce and find a school in Miami before your man ends up gallivanting with Gabrielle Unions buddies.
A few weeks back we asked whether Savannah would end up wifed up like LaLa, but in her interview with Harpers Bazaar she plays the extra passive role:
She says a wedding is not on the horizon, though she has been dreaming about that day since she was six. “I’ve definitely not put a fire under his ass,” she says. “I would never rush him to do something like that. We’re really comfortable with the way things are now. And it’s not up to me. When it happens, it happens.
“We talk about it. If we do it, I want it to be forever,” she continues. Until then, Brinson knows that the blogosphere will continue to refer to her as James’s baby mama. She’s not bothered by the description but makes it clear that she feels like she’s more than a catchphrase. “I’m the mother of his children,” she says proudly. “I’m not a baby mama. There’s a lot more to me than that.”
Wow Savannah, Lebron has really got you trained. You’d never rush him to do something like that? Something like the right thing you mean? Sorry but, last time we checked rushing him would have meant a ring BEFORE you popped out two school-age children. Eight years with that man and you’re content being his ‘sidekick.’
