The spotlight is currently on Bronny James as he gets ready for his debut season as a Los Angeles Laker alongside his father.
LeBron James was away securing a gold medal for the USA men’s team at the Paris 2024 Olympics, while Bronny was seen with his new girlfriend, who is accustomed to a life in the public eye due to her parents.
During the Olympics in Paris, she was seen with Bronny multiple times, sparking curiosity on social media, especially now that Bronny is not just LeBron’s son but also an NBA player.
Fans are speculating that the mystery girlfriend is likely Parker Whitfield, whose parents are actors Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Dondre Whitfield.
Social Media Observations
On August 6, social media users first noticed Parker with Bronny courtside during Team USA’s Men’s basketball game against Brazil.
The pair appeared at ease in each other’s company in public, a stark difference considering Bronny’s past experiences with public relationships, notably facing backlash for bringing a white girl to his prom in 2022.
Recent images show Bronny strolling hand-in-hand with Whitfield in Paris, with commentary on her race and praises for the couple reflected in online comments.
