The 2024 Paris Olympics have truly been a family affair for LeBron James, with his loved ones by his side as he pursues gold with Team USA.
Throughout the games, LeBron’s wife, Savannah James, has been a constant presence, supporting him every step of the way. The James family has made the most of their time in Paris, sharing special moments and creating memories during the Olympic festivities.
One of those memorable moments came when LeBron playfully embarrassed his 9-year-old daughter, Zhuri, by dancing during a Team USA beach volleyball match. The lighthearted moment, captured on camera, showcased LeBron’s fun-loving side and his deep bond with his daughter.
LeBron’s sons, Bronny, 19, and Bryce, 17, have also been prominently featured during the games. The two were spotted courtside during Team USA’s thrilling comeback victory against Serbia, where LeBron and his teammates secured a dramatic 95-91 win over Nikola Jokic and company. The victory was a pivotal moment for the United States Men’s National Basketball Team, and having his sons there to witness it made the experience even more special for LeBron.
While there were plenty of celebrities in attendance during the game, social media was particularly curious about the young woman sitting next to Bronny James.

That person was Parker Whitfield, the daughter of Hollywood power couple Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Dondré Whitfield.
Salli Richardson-Whitfield is a well-known actress and director, having worked as an executive producer and director on HBO’s “Winning Time,” a drama series about the Showtime Lakers—a team that holds a special place in LeBron’s heart as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Richardson-Whitfield’s acting career includes roles alongside iconic stars like Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, and Will Smith, as well as a starring role in the hit SYFY series “Eureka.” Her husband, Dondré Whitfield, is also a successful actor, with a career spanning television and film.
Parker Whitfield was first seen with Bronny during Team USA’s previous game, a decisive 122-87 victory over Brazil. Although they weren’t sitting courtside at that game, social media sleuths quickly identified the pair. Bronny follows Parker on Instagram, sparking curiosity about their relationship status, though nothing has been confirmed.
As for Bronny’s future in basketball, recent reports suggest that he may spend much of his upcoming season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, a development that might not be exactly what LeBron had hoped for his son’s NBA journey.
In the meantime, the entire James family appears to be thoroughly enjoying their time in Paris, soaking in the Olympic experience together. As the games progress, all eyes will be on Team USA as they prepare for the men’s basketball gold-medal game against the host country, France.
With his family cheering him on, LeBron will be looking to add yet another chapter to his storied career—and potentially bring home Olympic gold once again.
