Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James may be out tagging along for golf with his dad, veteran superstar LeBron James, but that did not mean he wouldn’t have the tie to swoon over his girlfriend, even only online for the meantime.
In a recent post on Instagram, Bronny James’ girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, posted a series of photos showing off her island vacation. The photo dump showed off Parker wearing a bikini, being near the shore, and crossing a hanging bridge. Bronny James, through away, dropped by in the comments section to express his admiration for his girlfriend.
“Muy Bonita,” Bronny commented.

Bronny James and Parker Whitfield first met when they were students at Sierra Canyon High School in a Los Angeles suburb—James as a basketball sensation and Whitfield as a star on the softball field.
The romantic relationship of James and Whitfield became public when they walked hand-in-hand at the 2024 Paris Olympics, cheering Team USA during LeBron James’s gold medal run, which put the capstone on the speculation of their relationship and marked their first widely published image together.
In the months that followed, Parker made the relationship Instagram-official on National Boyfriend Day, posting a heartfelt tribute, and Bronny reciprocated with supportive comments, confirming the depth of their affection to a growing legion of fans.
Bronny James Got An Honest Call Out From One Analyst Over Non-Appearance at Lakers Event
Veteran sports broadcaster and analyst Dan Patrick did not hold back his words when he called out Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James for not attending the contract extension event for teammate Luka Doncic.
In one of his recent videos, Patrick called out the young James for not showing his support for Doncic, even if only through his appearance at the Lakers star’s contract extension signing.
“Bronny James should’ve been there,” Patrick said on his self-titled show. “You’re the last guy on the roster, you should be there. Show support.”
“LeBron was not there, although he Facetimed Luka … I’m guessing he knew this was going to happen, but okay, you’re on vacation,” Patrick added. “The one person I thought should be there is his son. Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that’s your teammate.”
“That’s what was surprising. Bronny James should’ve been there.”
As posted on social media, Bronny James is currently out enjoying his offseason with LeBron, taking on golf courses somewhere.
