There is an immense amount of focus and pressure on Bronny James right now as he is set to embark on his first season as a Los Angeles Laker, with his dad in the team.

LeBron James was busy helping the USA men’s team to a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, whilst Bronny was showing off his new girlfriend who is used to growing up with parents in the spotlight.

LeBron James reveals that Zhuri is his favorite child
She has been spotted alongside Bronny on multiple occasions in Paris during the Olympics and it has caused quite the stir on social media now that Bronny is more than just LeBron’s son, he is an NBA player.

Fans have been quick to try and work out who the girlfriend is and the prevailing opinion is that she is Parker Whitfield.

That makes her the daughter of actors Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Dondre Whitfield.

Social media detectives
Social media first spotted Parker with Bronny courtside on Aug. 6 as they paid witness to Team USA’s Men’s basketball 122-87 victory against Brazil.

They both looked very comfortable in each other’s company and in public, and that means something when it comes to Bronny as he has had backlash for his partners in the past.

In 2022, he received a lot of criticism from the black community for taking a blonde white girl to his prom.

This experience may have impacted Bronny as he was pictured multiple times happily walking hand-in-hand with Whitfield through the streets of Paris, and she is black.

“Who else zoomed in to confirm they are black? #BlackRichLoveWin,” one person noted.

Another added, “Folks bullied Bronny into getting rid of the white girl,” with others pointing out, “both her parents are Black” and mentioning that Bronny “change[d] from blonde to brunette.”
