ENGAGED! LeBron James Pops The Question To Girlfriend Of 8 Years, Savannah Brinson!

Jan 01 | by Natasha

There have been lots of engagements during this Holiday season. And Miami Heat star LeBron James is keeping the party going. He proposed to his fab girlfriend Savannah Brinson on New Year's Eve. Pics & deets inside...

After an 8+ year relationship, 2 kids, and 2 basketball teams, Lebron James and longtime girlfriend Savannah got engaged! We told y'all we had a feeling there would be a 2012 wedding for Bron Bron.

At a Remy Martin V private NYE dinner party hosted by Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade in Miami Saturday night, LeBron popped the question to a surprised (I'm sure she felt it coming) Savannah. And the sweet moment was captured in this pic.

Bron asked one of the most important questions of his life in front of a room full of friends and fam--guests included Nas, Jessica White, Chris & Adrienne Bosh, Queen Latifah, Gloria James, and LeBron & Savannah's two sons were in attendance as well.

Following the engagement, as told to us by the reps at Remy V, LeBron was surprised with a tremendous birthday cake with "LJ" on the top, adding to the celebrations.

The congratulatory tweets (and pic compliments of our homie Angela Yee) started rolling in from the couples' celebrity friends. LA Clipper & one of Bron's besties, Chris Paul, tweeted:

Happy for my brother @KingJames and sis @SavannahRB on their engagement!!! Extremely happy for them and the good times to come #HappyNewYear

Chris' wife Jada, who is good friends with Savannah, tweeted:

CONGRATULATIONS to 2 of my favorite people @SavannahRB and @KingJames! SO happy for you guys! LOVE you!!

The Miami Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted:

“Congrats to LeBron. @KingJames and Savannah so happy 4 u guys."

Adrienne Bosh tweeted:

Love Trumps All #2012 Congrats to @SavannahRB & @KingJames :)

And when Bron celebrated his 27th b-day last week, his wife-to-be sent a sweet tweet saying:

Wishing a very special person in my life a very, very Happy Birthday!! I love you so much!!!! @KingJames

Awww. Congrats to the couple!

Congrats! It's weird how

Congrats! It's weird how happy I was to hear that these two were engaged. They are a good looking couple and even though I don't know either of them personally, I've always liked how down to earth Savannah seems compared to the other basketball wives/girlfriends. A lot of people have mentioned that it's about time since they have kids and its been 8 years. Well, does having kids automatically mean you should get married? It may seem ideal, but I'm not so sure. And even though it's been 8 years he just turned 27! They're both still young and I rather he wait to ask when he was absolutely sure and ready than ask out of pure obligation or pressure from outside sources just to divorce a few years later. Best of luck! 2012 might turn out to be the best year ever for Mr. James.

I am truly happy for them

I am truly happy for them because he always looked like he truly loved/loves her: plus I am ALWAYS happy to see these successful black men with BLACK women--the ones that were there long before the money came. Congrats!! To all the haters I ask you: is this how you start a new year? Watch what you say: we all reap what we sow. Positivity all the way. God Bless--that'll be a HUGE, fab wedding!!

Why all the

Why all the comments/emphasise on his queen being black? Interacial relationships are very common these days. Nobody should feel insecure about Losing to another race. I'm happy for the love not for the race, however I wouldn't mind him falling for me....a white girl. Not for the money but the man sexy! Im team LeBron, I follow the king. From Cleveland to Miami.

Bout time. I knew he was

Bout time. I knew he was going to marry her. I just also knew his ego stood in his way. Maybe he is maturing. NOt to say he will stop the cheating. But maybe his married boys said don't do this man. Marry that chick and we will show them we do it right. Because they are seeing the press on Kobe, etc. They know they are getting a bad rap. It doesn't strike me that Bron and his little crew are dumb. They make moves to secure deals and money. And marrying your bm is akin to showing that I can play the role too. How many years he waited does not matter. My brother waited 10 years with his bm but married her, paid for the wedding, and cried the whole time. Last night called me and she was setting up the WII. Don't assume that they way you did it works for everyone people.

Yes, they were too young to get married before now but you don't you think they were too young to raise two kids together also? I mean I know things happen but you don't have two kids on accident. Anyway, doesn't mean their marriage will be any less blessed than the next. I wish them well.

The comments on here is just

The comments on here is just crazy and ignorant!!!!! Sooooooo what he now he now proposed u people seem to forget the 8 years are from high school until now and she is only 25 and him 27. And yes they have 2 kids that they had young but they been to quite fine raising them together. Stop worrying about what they doing and how long they took to do it. Look at La La, chris paul wife they all had kids before marriage and was with there men for years before they got there ring, the way i see it is he did it on there time when he know they was ready. there is alot of men out here who aint even doing half of what he did. i for one is happy for them because having kids don't mean u suppose to run to the alter right away.

I know this is terrible...but

I know this is terrible...but how many nba marriages last? Besides Magic...it was hard for me to be happy for them because I just imagined 7-10 years from now and I've been asking myself with all of these celeb divorces...why do people even bother? Do people want a wife, a husband? or just a lover..if the latter, then don't waste your dollars. Not trying to advocate shacking, but the sanctity of marriage. Congrats?

I don't see how people are

I don't see how people are calling her stupid. Didn't Beyonce wait 6 or 7 years? They were so young when LeBron got drafted so them staying together means a lot. Regardless if he cheated or not, he still chose Savannah. Kobe should have waited. Lol!

2 things: 1. Beyonce didn't

2 things: 1. Beyonce didn't have two children by Jay-Z before they got married. That's a big difference. 2. "Regardless if he cheated or not"? No regardless. If you're in a monogamous relationship you're only suppose to be with that person. Cheating is a sign of the person being uncommitted, dishonest and disloyal. This being said, she's not stupid. Hard for a woman to leave her man who's children she bore.

First off, having kids has

First off, having kids has nothing to do with it. If its love then its love. And why would he proper to Savannah if he wasnt ready? He's ready now. No relationship is perfect but if it works for them then that's all that matters. At the end of the day, he chose her to spend the rest of his life with. Why cant you just be happy for them? She stood by his side. She deserves a ring. Just because they didn't do it by your standards doesn't mean its wrong. Get you a man and stop spreading your negativity. Thanks!
