LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

Savannah, who is known for her philanthropic causes, told the outlet in a 2017 interview that she inherited the trait from her parents who would often take in young people.

“If they had something going on at home, or they just needed a safe haven, my mom and dad always opened up their doors.”

SAVANNAH'S BIRTHDAY

Meanwhile, Jennifer’s birthday comes less than a month after her youngest child turned 33 and got a royal shout-out from her 15-time NBA All-Star hubby.

Sharing a series of romantic photos to celebrate his wife’s big day, LeBron thanked Savannah for her presence in his life.

JOURNEY OF LOVE

“Words can’t express my appreciation for you,” he captioned an Instagram picture slide. “And it’s not for everyone else anyways cause they wouldn’t understand unless they been around this journey of ours.”

LeBron and Savannah’s “journey” date back to almost two decades ago when the two met in their hometown of Ohio. The couple met and started dating while in high school and have been together ever since.

LeBron popped the big question on New Year's Eve 2011 at a Miami party. Now-retired NBA player Dwayne Wade and wife, Gabrielle Union, were present.

In 2013, LeBron and Savannah were married at a lavish but private ceremony in San Diego. They are proud parents to sons LeBron Jr., 14, and Bryce Maximus, 12, and four-year-old daughter Zhuri Nova.

Happy Birthday again to Jennifer Brinson!
