LeBron James Says He Wouldn’t Want a ‘Stay-at-Home Woman’ If He Weren’t Married

The professional basketball player is disinterested in seeing a woman "sitting on the couch everyday."

LeBron James shared his relationship red flags on the latest episode of his wife's podcast, Everybody's Crazy.

Join by guests Kai Cenat, Fanum and Travis Bennett, the group discussed relationships during part two of the podcast’s roundtable, which was posted to YouTube on (Tuesday) Oct. 21.

Around the seven-minute mark of the episode below, LeBron recounted the earlier years of his relationship with wife of twelve years, Savannah James. The couple share three children, Bronny, 21, Bryce, 17, and Zhuri, 10.

"Early on, I needed somebody that could raise the family. I didn't trust anybody to be able to come in the house, you know, besides my mom," he said.

The NBA star added that, over time — and as their children grew older — he saw that Savannah had her own professional aspirations, which he was “comfortable” with.

"I think, personally, me today, if I was not in a relationship today, I could not have a stay-at-home woman," LeBron declared. "For me, who I am at 40 and what I got going on, coming home and just seeing somebody just sitting on the couch every day just sitting there just chilling, that wouldn't float for me."

LeBron then explained that Savannah is an active mother who works, frequently joins Bryce on college tours, and spends quality time bonding with Zhuri. In addition to hosting her own podcast, Savannah launched her skincare line, Reframe, earlier this year.

"I think it's just who you are and where you are at that point in your life, what kind of moves [you make], and I think everybody is different. So, it's been stages for me."

On the first part of the podcast, LeBron tried his hand at relationship advice, warning single men to steer clear of "cutthroat" and "ruthless-ass" women.
