Bronny James Celebrates Girlfriend Parker Whitfield’s 21st Birthday with Heartfelt Post
While still adjusting to life in the NBA, Bronny James just showed fans another side of himself—one that’s thoughtful, playful, and real. The 20-year-old Lakers rookie went viral after posting a sweet message for his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, on her 21st birthday.
On September 2, Bronny shared a photo of Parker blowing out candles on a custom cake, captioned: “Happy bday to my everything.” Fans quickly praised the gesture, calling it a refreshing show of vulnerability from the son of LeBron James.
Parker, a Spelman College student and daughter of actors Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Dondré Whitfield, joined in the fun with her own caption: “Berry much legal!!” Bronny playfully replied, “Love you berry much baby,” highlighting their easy chemistry.
Their romance first caught attention during the 2024 Paris Olympics and was later confirmed on National Boyfriend Day. The couple’s story stretches back to Sierra Canyon School, where Parker played softball and Bronny starred in basketball.
On the court, Bronny is still carving out his NBA role, but moments like this prove he’s also building a life—and identity—beyond basketball.
