Tyla Laura Seethal, known as Tyla, is a South African singer and songwriter who garnered attention from LeBron James while courtside at the Lakers vs. Warriors game.
King James shared a friendly fist bump with the South African singer at Crypto Arena as they watched the game against Stephen Curry’s Warriors. James also engaged in a light-hearted exchange with Tyla, sparking some fans to speculate about the interaction. However, James is known for his friendly demeanour.
This encounter follows a recent moment when James was captured in a cheerful mood with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis, Kurt Rambis’s wife, at a previous game.
Married to his high school love, Savannah, since 2013 and a father of three, James has maintained a clean reputation, with only a singular, unverified rumour challenging this.
Tyla Laura Seethal, professionally known as Tyla, emerged on the music scene in 2019 with her hit single “Getting Late.” After signing with Epic Records in 2021, she clinched the Best African Music Performance Grammy in 2024.
Recently, James and Savannah supported their son Bronny at a USC basketball game despite appearing to disagree. Nonetheless, James continues to foster new friendships openly.
