LeBron James Trades Court for Couture: A Star-Studded Wedding Weekend in Southern California
NBA Icon Celebrates with Kevin Love and Draymond Green at Andrew Forbes and Sabrina Zekaj’s Nuptials
Ojai, California – NBA superstar LeBron James, 40, stepped off the court and into the wedding circuit last weekend, joining a constellation of basketball’s elite to celebrate the union of Andrew Forbes and Sabrina Zekaj. The high-profile festivities, held from August 15-17 in the picturesque Southern California locale, saw James embrace “great times” with fellow NBA champions Kevin Love and Draymond Green, alongside close friend and business associate Paul Rivera. The basketball icon, joined by Kevin Love and Draymond Green, traded the court for couture at a high-profile California wedding, marking a weekend of exclusive celebrations and camaraderie.
The nuptials held a particular significance for James, as Andrew Forbes is the son of Nate Forbes, a minority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. This connection underscores the long-standing relationships forged during James’s illustrious career, particularly his two stints with the Cavaliers, which included bringing an NBA championship to the city in 2016. The wedding itself was a lavish affair, culminating in a traditional Jewish horah, a celebratory dance where the bride and groom are lifted in chairs by jubilant guests.
Documenting the memorable weekend, James took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 19, sharing a series of candid photos and a short video clip. One striking image captured James, Love, Green, and Rivera impeccably dressed in their wedding attire. James, ever the fashion-forward figure, donned a sophisticated Louis Vuitton suit jacket paired with stylish sunglasses. Kevin Love opted for a classic navy suit, while Draymond Green chose a distinguished dark green ensemble. Paul Rivera completed the star-studded lineup in a black suit accented with a vibrant pink pocket square.
Beyond the formal ceremonies, the athletes indulged in some recreational downtime, hitting the golf course for a round of spirited play. James was photographed alongside Rivera and Nike executive David Creech, showcasing a different kind of teamwork. Kevin Love also shared a snapshot of their golfing quartet, playfully captioning it: “‘Home Course’ ⛳️ @pr_rwtw Champions 🧹🧹🧹,” highlighting the friendly competition and camaraderie among the group.
The star power extended beyond the basketball court, with legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady among those who lauded James’s Instagram post, commenting, “Solid crew 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼.” The images captured moments of genuine joy and connection, a testament to James’s caption: “Great people always = Great Times & Vibes no matter where you are! A weekend was had! Until next time 🫡👑.”
This leisurely weekend provided a brief respite for James, who has been rigorously preparing for the upcoming NBA season. Just weeks prior to the wedding, the Los Angeles Lakers’ forward had shared intense workout photos on Instagram, accompanied by a defiant message: “Say whatever you want but you damn sure won’t be able to say I didn’t put in the WORK!! 👑 ,” he wrote. “We’ll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man F this Shhhhhh.” The balance between off-season training and cherished personal connections painted a complete picture of the enduring icon.
