Bronny James is doing his best to make it in the NBA.
Now in his second season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bronny has a supporter by his side in the form of Parker Whitfield.
The Internet can't seem to let things just be as they are, though.
A rumor about the couple started on Friday, and it's gone viral even though it's not true.

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.
