Being married to a celebrity athlete such as James often elevates the status of their wives and, or girlfriends in society. Some of them [wives] choose the showbiz way as influencers, social media models or reality TV subjects.
This, more often than not, opens them up to public scrutiny and when the hard marriage patch starts, the internet always has a field day.
Savannah aware of all this says she took a less-beaten path and focused on raising her sons and taking care of her husband
“That time, to be honest, was spent pouring into my boy. I just really wanted to enjoy being a mom and supporting my husband. I wasn’t super-comfortable with putting myself out like that,” she told The Cut.
WHY DOES SAVANNAH JAMES AVOID THE INTERNET?
In addition, she knows that gossip is a quick ticket to destroy what she has built for years with James.
That’s why she avoids the internet like plague and when she is on it, wisdom takes over whenever there is a nasty comment that gets on her nerves.
She likens responding to all internet trolls to getting oneself in a ‘rabbit hole’ which is hard to get out of. Yet, her wisdom dictates she remains silent and press the ‘overlook button’.
“That is going to put you in a rabbit hole that you don’t want to be in. I don’t think that there are misconceptions about me out there that I would even be inclined to address,” she adds.
Despite her reluctance to embrace the spotlight, the internet is still clamouring for the mother of three. Savannah provided some insight into how she manages the intense adoration she receives on social media.
She admitted that she occasionally thinks that some of the messages she gets blow her off but she understands that there are people who admire her way too much than it’s allowed.
Savannah is also intentional about improving her mental health and she concentrates so much effort on becoming a better version of who she is.
Going to therapy has helped her learn how to react in the best way to different situations.

“I’ve gone to therapy. Anything just to find out more about myself and the way that my brain functions in certain situations. I am a woman getting to a certain age and I need to be aging like the most amazing 19-whatever vintage wine on the market. I took a super-heavy intention with my health, moving my body, doing things that may sound weird, and juicing for three months.
“I went on a detox program. I enjoyed it. I felt like I was able to tap into meditation, and my mind was much clearer. I was able to make decisions that I feel like I might have been kind of wavering with had I not done it. It felt spiritual,” savannah adds.
