Bronny James’ girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, is having herself a summer.

Of course, so is Bronny, with the NBA’s Summer League now well underway.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard is desperate to prove himself amid accusations of nepotism on the part of him and his father, LeBron James, having spent most of his rookie season in the G League.

So far, he has given a decent account of himself in the Summer League, while his partner is also turning heads on social media.

Parker, who attends SMU, has been trending on Instagram this week after sharing pics from her summer activities with her followers. She took to the platform to share several photos, captioned “my summer so far 🤗,” with two standing out.

An excited Bronny could only muster up two words. “My girlfriend!” he wrote in the comments.

Bronny and Parker are believed to have met in Southern California and have been going steady for over a year. While they haven’t made many public outings, they were pictured at the Summer Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.

Meanwhile, the young Lakers guard is set to play in one of the biggest games of his career, despite it being a Summer League outing. Bronny will be going up against this year’s No. 1 overall pick, Cooper Flagg, and the Dallas Mavericks this Thursday.

Thursday’s game will be the most expensive in SL history, with courtside seats going for $2,500, while lower-bowl tickets are selling for as high as $650 on resale portals.

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
