On Tuesday, August 12, LeBron shared a video to his Instagram Stories documenting Bryce's heartwarming homecoming. 

He captioned the post, "My Twin home!!!! Ayyyyeeeeee." 

In the short clip, LeBron could be hear singing joyfully, multiple times, "That boy home from college for a little bit."

Standing near the family kitchen, Bryce was in total college mode rocking a grey sweatshirt and shorts. He paired the look with a black backpack, white socks and slides. He was also sporting some new facial hair, and like any typical dad, LeBron couldn't help but commenting on his son's grown-up new look. 

"Look at him. Ya'll see his beard? Oh my goodness," LeBron said, laughing hard before grabbing him to embrace him in a big hug.
