Bronny James plants kisses on girlfriend in PDA-filled anniversary posts
Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, recently celebrated his anniversary with his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield. The Los Angeles Lakers guard posted a mirror selfie with his boo on Sunday to his Instagram story. The rising second-year player had his arm draped around Whitfield and captioned the post 'Anniversary dinner!' with a kissing emoji. Whitfield - the daughter of actor Dondre Whitfield and movie producer Salli Richardson-Witfield - reposted the image to her Instagram Story as well. Later in the day, she posted an image of her own to the social media platform. Whitfield was seen wearing a bikini while Bronny hugged her from behind and planted a kiss on her cheek. Very little is known about the specifics of their relationship - with the couple keeping some secrets, such as how long they've been dating. Rumors of their dating began circulating last summer - when they were seen in Paris holding hands during the Summer Olympics. James and Whitfield were spotted courtside alongside Bronny's younger brother, Bryce James, and his girlfriend Sadie Johnson. They were all also seen at a private afterparty at L'Avenue restaurant in the City of Lights. This is a crucial offseason for James - who is hoping to gain more time in JJ Redick's rotation for the 2025-26 season. Bronny told ESPN during NBA Summer League play that he'd spent the last year trying to overcome lingering issues stemming from a heart condition. He notably went into cardiac arrest two years ago prior to his only year of college basketball at USC. Eventually, Bronny was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and underwent surgery. Across 27 games in his rookie season in the NBA, James averaged 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists on a shooting average of 31.3 percent from the field. He was much more efficient and proficient in the G-League - averaging 21.9 points and 44.3 percent shooting.

Bronny James is enjoying time off before his second season with Los Angeles Lakers Bronny James had a pretty mediocre run with the Los Angeles Lakers in his debut season. But he made up for it in the G League and the Summer League, and looked much better on the court. Lakers' top assistant coach Nate McMillan has revealed that Bronny will get more play time in the upcoming season. Talking on The Sports Shop With Reese + KMac, McMillan said: "He came out into this summer league and played every game this summer. You could see the confidence. He was much more relaxed than he was last year, and everybody would have been nervous as could be last season." Nate McMillan - Los Angeles Lakers Lead Assistant (Great Interview) He further added: "His shot was never broken, but the confidence, you could see he was knocking down those shots, getting to the basket. Defensively, we wanted to challenge himself to pick up the ball ... I love Bronny. Great young man and we expect him to possibly get some minutes this year." There have been speculations regarding his place in the team, and Bronny recently missed the press conference announcing the three-year contract extension of Luka Doncic with the Los Angeles Lakers worth $165 million. But it looks like the young James will have more game time next season with the squad, and father-son will hopefully get to play together on the court more, that is, if Bron is staying.
