All the couples out there, did you do something special for your boyfriend today? Or did you forget to? Don’t worry, you are not on the wrong website. It’s still us, but Bronny James and Bryce James just reminded us it’s important to set a little time aside for our significant others, too.
Still confused? Remember when the James brothers arrived in Paris with two stunning ladies in their arms for the Olympics? Within seconds, the news spread like wildfire, sparking dating rumors. But it seems like we might have just gotten some kind of closure.
Bronny’s Instagram story update shows an adorable photo of him and his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, standing on either side of a Mickey Mouse mascot. Parker can be seen smiling brightly while her boyfriend has a goofy expression and an equally goofy pose to go with it. The USC alum shared Parker’s photo, which she captioned as, “bf day! i love you!” tagging him.

Bronny, for his part, responded in kind. “I love you babyyyyy,” he wrote, followed by a winking kiss emoji. Interestingly, this comes in the wake of an admission from Parker’s mother, actor/director, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, in an exclusive Us Weekly interview last month.
“My kids have stayed pretty much out of the spotlight because they really weren’t — they’re not interested in it,” the first-time Emmy nominee (for directing), said when asked how her daughter was handling the attention that came from dating Bronny James.
What’s your perspective on:
Should family opinions dictate Bronny James' relationship choices, or is it time for independence?
Have an interesting take?
Despite being born into an actor family, Parker and her brother, Dre Whitfield, have largely stayed out of the limelight! “The kids are pretty normal because my daughter’s going to Spelman [College]. She’s like, ‘I’m studying economics. I don’t care about this Hollywood stuff.’,” Richardson-Whitfield further added. Well, it does make sense, given that the 20-year-old still maintains a private account on Instagram.
In fact, the only reason we saw that lovely photo was because Bronny shared it via his IG handle. What about Bryce, though?
Following Bronny James, Bryce shares an equally charming “bf day” photo
While we have the basic information about Bronny’s girlfriend, the same cannot be said of Bryce’s girl, Sadie Johnson. But it has never stopped them from posting photos and videos on social media, particularly TikTok. However, like Whitfield, Sadie’s IG account is private. And that’s where Bryce came to the rescue on boyfriend day.
The younger son of LeBron James took to his IG to reshare his girlfriend’s sweet tribute. Unlike Bronny and Parker, they kept it short. Johnson simply wrote, “bf day,” followed by a red heart, and tagged Bryce. The 17-year-old responded with another heart and shared it as his story update.

The James family, too, seem to be quite welcoming of their sons’ girlfriends. Take, for example, their Paris interactions. Savannah James was seen coming out of a Balenciaga store in Paris, in tow with her sons and their girlfriends. Moreover, Sadie Johnson was also seen dancing with Zhuri James in an X video, both of them rocking a USA jersey.
