LeBron James’ wife Savannah James candidly admits major lifestyle changes following veteran’s Sixers move that “stress” her out

Savannah James is running a family schedule across three cities. After LeBron James left the Lakers for the Philadelphia 76ers, the 40-year-old told the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast on Nov. 3 that the planning stresses her out. The 76ers star lives in New York and takes a helicopter to practice in Philadelphia. Savannah stays in Los Angeles with their 12-year-old daughter, while their son Bryce plays college basketball in Arizona. She calls the juggling hard but says the family is handling it, and she feels steadier about it than she once would have.How is Savannah James handling life across three cities?Savannah James says the hardest part is the math of it. LeBron lives in New York, she is in Los Angeles, and the 76ers play in Philadelphia. “The crazy in my life is the fact that I have to figure out how to be three places at once,” Savannah said, adding, “that is crazy. I try not to think about it because it’s gonna stress me out, and I know it has to happen, but that is crazy.”She told Palmer, “I have to figure out how to be three places at once.” She tries not to dwell on it because it stresses her out, but she knows the plan has to work.New York is the family hub. Bronny stays in Los Angeles with the Lakers, and Bryce is in Tucson with the Arizona Wildcats, so even a normal week means checking several calendars. She has already made the trip east. She and her daughter went to LeBron’s 76ers home debut against the Cavaliers, and they were also seen entering Madison Square Garden for the season opener against the Knicks.Why does Savannah say this move feels different?Savannah says the biggest change is in her. Five years ago, she joked, a move like this would have meant everyone had to “pack up everything,” whether they liked it or not. Now the family can spend time in different cities without uprooting every life in the house.Turning 40 helped. She went into the birthday with a plan to stop second-guessing herself, and she says she is happy where she is. Her sons are living their own lives, she added. Her daughter had a say too. She and LeBron offered her a chance to attend school on the East Coast, but she chose to stay in Los Angeles for school and volleyball. LeBron has been open about the cost of his decision. “I didn’t leave my family to lose in the second round,” he said at his first 76ers press conference in September.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
