LeBron James parents

Gloria Marie James (mother)

LeBron James' family - mother Gloria Marie James

Date of Birth: February 4, 1968

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

LeBron is the only child of Gloria and she could not be happier with the kind of son she raised. Mama James got pregnant when she was only sixteen and things became hard from then on. The man who impregnated her left her alone to fend for this new addition. Things were manageable at first as she had her mother to help but when Marie was 19, her own mother died of a heart attack on a Christmas morning. Gloria struggled for a long time to make ends meet and make sure her child had good education. She sent him off one time to live with his football coach but only for a while.

Gloria had a long time boyfriend Eddie Jackson who sort of took on the role of a father to the NBA King. Jackson was rarely present though as he was a drug junkie and spent several years in prison for selling hard drugs and for fraud. In all of these childhood turbulence, Gloria and LeBron maintained a tight-knit relationship.

She is his biggest fan and to him, she is everything. The superstar gives his mum all the credit for all he is and has today. Thinking about what life would have been like without Gloria Marie James is a nightmare for the handsome athletic.

Anthony McClelland (father)

Anthony is the estranged father to the world champion. He left as soon as Gloria was pregnant for him so he never got the opportunity to father his son. LeBron is forever grateful anyways that his father was absent. Things might not have turned out so good is James had been raised in a perfect family with siblings and home pets. The absence of a father figure is what drives the NBA champion to be the devoted father and husband that he is today.

LeBron James' children - sons

Date of Birth: October 6, 2004

Zodiac Sign: Libra

He not only bears his father’s name, LeBron Jr. is the exact replica of his dad. He is barely a teenager but already shows so much promise; destroying competitions in several highlight mix-tapes. Little Bronny already had college scholarship offers from Duke and Kentucky. Our fingers are crossed and our eyes are watching to see how good he can be.

The LeBron Sr. is incredibly proud of his son and he says Little Bronny plays like he did. He however is in no rush to see all his son has inside as he is still a kid. King James is not happy that his son was recruited by the NCAA at just 10 but talents cannot be suppressed. James Jr. also enjoys playing video games and is a great brother and son in the family. The little LeBron is indeed a soon-to-be phenomenon!

Zhuri James (daughter with Savannah Brinson)

LeBron James' children - daughter Zhuri James

Date of Birth: October 22, 2014

Zodiac Sign: Libra

She obviously would not be like her brothers as she is the baby of the house. Zhuri’s passions are not visible yet but you don’t need a stargazer to tell you she is a star in the making. We think however that the cute James princess would follow after her hot mum.
