In a rare interview, the 36-year-old—who shares LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., 18, Bryce James, 15, and Zhuri James, 8, with the basketball player—explains why she has kept a low profile.
"I just really wanted to enjoy being a mom and supporting my husband," Savannah, who met the NBA superstar when they were teenagers, told The Cut in a May 11 cover interview. "I wasn't super-comfortable with putting myself out like that."

Despite the attention, Savannah says she is "not a comment reader" when it comes to social media.
"I feel like that is going to put you into a rabbit hole that you don't want to be in, she added. "I don't think that there are misconceptions about me out there that I would even be inclined to address."
