So, it looks like Bronny James might not be the ‘most eligible’ bachelor of the 2024 NBA Draft. Oh, well, LeBron’s firstborn might not be single as some had expected. So, is romance brewing in Bronny’s life? It is a possibility. During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Parker Richardson-Whitfield was with the 20-year-old shooting guard, cheering for Team USA. Fans noticed their chemistry, and as always, speculations began to come up.

However, neither Bronny James nor Parker Whitfield has confirmed anything in this matter. The only concrete showing that we have is the “She’s so pretty,” comment that LeBron James‘ son left on a pic of hers on Instagram, as per the New York Post. So, whatever you see on the internet is just a theory and speculation. But does it mean we cannot know more about them? To simplify, how do the celebrity kids know each other and who is Parker Whitfield? These questions surely intrigue us all. So, without further ado, let’s see.

Bronny James and Parker Richard-Whitfield’s connection goes back to their high school days

Recently, Bronny James and Parker Whitfield were seen leaving the Topps trading cards game event together. There had already been rumors about them dating and after this spotting, netizens are sure something is going on. However, the main characters of the script haven’t said a word about it so far. Meanwhile, the fans are trying to trace the origins of ‘Bronny & Parker’. And it looks like, they’ve been in high school together. They both graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in 2023. Surprisingly, both of them are closely involved with sports and maybe this has played the Cupid for them.

While Bronny was playing for the school’s men’s basketball team, Parker was a part of their Varsity Softball squad. So, there is a possibility that their common interest in sports could’ve bridged the gap. There’s no saying that Bronny James’ talent as a hooper was quickly recognized, and therefore he found his path to the NBA. More interestingly, he’ll be playing alongside his father for the LA Lakers. And maybe then, if we scan through the audience, we might find Parker in the front row, cheering for her friend Bronny.

Meanwhile, did you know that Parker Richardson-Whitfield is also a celebrity kid? While Bronny’s dad is the King of the NBA, the young lady’s parents are television actors. You might have even watched them without even realizing that their kid might be Bronny James’ lady love.

Bronny James or LeBron James aren’t the only ones associated with the LA Lakers, of course.
