NBA star LeBron James brought in the New Year with a bang by proposing to his high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson, tonight, according to a tweet by radio host Angela Yee.

Yee updated her tweet with an Instagram photo showing an emotional Savannah accepting a ring from LeBron, who popped the question during dinner at the SL nightclub in Miami.

LeBron, 27, and Savannah, 26, have two boys together, Bronny, 7, and Bryce, 4. The family moved into a $9 million mansion in Coconut Grove, a suburb of Miami, after LeBron signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat in 2010.

In recent months, Savannah made a noticeable transition from the sweet, demure, wholesome girl that LeBron had crushed on as a star high school jock in Ohio. Savannah began to act out in public by wearing revealing, provocative clothing.

Most recently, Savannah had tongues wagging when she tweeted a pic of herself attending a Miami Heat game wearing an eye-catching black miniskirt. I guess all that acting out worked: LeBron proposed 3 days later.

All jokes aside, we here at Sandrarose.com are very happy for Savannah, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple! :}
