Lebron Raymone ''Bronny'' James was born on October 6, 2004 in Cleveland, Ohio. He is the eldest child of NBA superstar LeBron James and his high school sweetheart Savannah (née Brinson). Both his parents were athletic kids in high school; while his father played basketball and football, his mother played softball and was also a cheerleader. His parents started dating when they were only 17 and 16 years of age, and got married on September 14, 2013 in San Diego, after being together for 12 years.

His family moved to Brentwood, Los Angeles in November 2015, after his father bought a $21 million East Coast–style mansion there. While he loves to play basketball, he also loves to play video games. He often has epic video game battles with his father and brother, and also stage movie nights at home. He is close friends with Zaire Wade, the son of his father's former teammate and Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade. NBA point guard Chris Paul is his godfather.
