Adventure calls on a first date.
LeBron James and his wife Savannah are grappling with the loss of a significant location in their relationship history – the Outback Steakhouse in Akron, Ohio, where they shared their first date.
In a humorous twist of fate, the restaurant, where the couple first crossed paths, has recently closed down. Savannah took to her Instagram story earlier this week to express her nostalgia for the eatery, lamenting the loss of the place where their enduring romance began.
“Nooooo,” she wrote, tagging LeBron, “Our first date memories,” accompanied by a teary-eyed emoji.
LeBron later reposted the photo on his own story, echoing his wife’s sentiment with the caption, “OMFG!!!! Why why why.”

The basketball legend and his wife, who tied the knot in 2013, have a remarkable love story that originated during their high school years in Ohio. Together, they have three children – LeBron ‘Bronny’ James, Bryce, and Zhuri.
In a revealing interview with Cleveland Magazine in 2018, Savannah shared the charming tale of their initial encounter. She recounted how she obtained LeBron’s phone number during her sophomore year of high school and took the initiative to reach out to him.
Their first official outing together, albeit with friends, occurred at an Applebee’s. However, it was their subsequent solo date at the now-closed Outback Steakhouse that truly solidified their connection.
Reflecting on those early days, Savannah humorously recalled how LeBron’s thoughtful gesture of returning her forgotten leftovers from their dinner date served as a heartwarming indication of his affection.
Indeed, their story serves as a reminder that the venue of a first date holds sentimental value beyond its culinary offerings, challenging the notion that extravagant settings are necessary for meaningful connections to blossom.
