Soon, LeBron James will have a young daughter in his life.
The 29-year-old revealed their daughter’s name, Zhuri, in a photo from a Mediterranean trip on Friday. He is expecting his third child with wife and high school sweetheart Savannah Brinson.

The NBA player wrote, “Mykonos Greece is spectacular!” as the caption for the picture. Give my wife, Savannah, a push present! Zhuri, please come quickly so that your father and two brothers can irritate you! Haha.
According to TMZ, the name Zhuri might be a play on the Swahili word Zuri, which means lovely.
LeBron Jr., 9, and Bryce Maximus, 7, Zhuri’s two elder boys, seem to have stayed at home as their parents had pleasure in their European vacation.
James, who is 6′ 8″, wore a turquoise blue bikini and a white T-shirt with a blue graphic design of a lion’s face across the front on Friday while he was on the Grecian coast.

He donned black flip-flop sandals and red sunglasses to shield his eyes from the glaring sun.
Savannah, his wife of over a year, wore a blue and white tie-dyed maxidress to flaunt her baby bulge. She accessorized it with a white fedora and see-through gray sunglasses.
This summer, LeBron announced that he would be rejoining his old team, the Miami Heat, after he famously abandoned his birthplace of Cleveland, Ohio to play basketball for them.
In his SI.com essay announcing his intention to rejoin the Cavaliers after four seasons with the Heat, James stated, “I always thought that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there.”
LeBron’s return to Cleveland follows a contentious breakup that was made public on national television, during which he left his hometown to pursue his skills in South Beach.
He thought that leaving Northeast Ohio would never be permanent, even though he had finally received the championship rings he had so desperately desired while playing for the Cavaliers. He likened it to college.
Basketball is only one aspect of my bond with Northeast Ohio. That was unknown to me four years ago. Now I do. “I’m prepared to take on the challenge,” James declared. “I’m heading home.”
On October 30, the squad plays the New York Knicks in the first game of the regular season.
