YesJulz is setting the record straight yet again. The social media influencer firmly shut down persistent rumors of an alleged affair with NBA legend LeBron James, calling the claims “baseless.”
The chatter resurfaced on Tuesday night after the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, losing 97-118. Despite the tough loss, LeBron delivered a standout moment with a jaw-dropping windmill dunk that left fans buzzing. Among those applauding his play was YesJulz, who took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to react with a series of five exhale-face emojis.
This seemingly innocent praise reignited decade-old rumors. The gossip first surfaced in 2014 during James’ stint with the Miami Heat, a year after he tied the knot with his high school sweetheart, Savannah James.
The couple now shares three children: Bronny, 20, Bryce, 17, and Zhuri, 10. YesJulz has consistently denied any romantic involvement with James, maintaining that their relationship is purely platonic.
When one X user urged Julz to “read the room,” citing a reference to LeBron in Drake’s song “Fighting Irish Freestyle,”she didn’t hold back.
“You really think I care about ya’lls baseless rumors?” Julz clapped back. “Bron is my favorite player, and I will always celebrate his wins!”
Julz has repeatedly dismissed these allegations, emphasizing her respect for James as an athlete and a person. Despite the noise, her unwavering support for the four-time NBA champion continues to shine through.
