Is Bronny James' girlfriend pregnant?

No, there are no indications that Parker Whitfield is pregnant.

The rumor started because of this post on X:

The key to that post: The account's bio literally includes the words "parody account."

That's not real news.

It's just meant to draw engagement, which it clearly is. People are wondering whether a grandfather has ever played in the NBA.

Well, there won't be one right now, because sometimes stuff you see online, like this, just isn't true.
