Salli Richardson-Whitfield, an American actress and television director, has achieved marvels in her career as well as in her life with her daughter, Parker Whitfield, and son, Dre Whitfield.
The actress shares a strong bond with both of her children, especially with her daughter, Parker, who recently attended Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Further, the 19-year-old graduated high school with her parents by her side and moved to LA soon after.
Salli Richardson shared the bittersweet moment with her daughter in an Instagram post captioned, “And just like that, my baby is not a baby anymore. Congratulations, my love, you are a superstar.“
Apart from her academic background, much information about Parker isn’t available as she maintains a private social media account with over 6.5k followers.
Recently, Parker came into the limelight when she was spotted at the Paris Olympics alongside LeBron James’s son, Bronny, with whom she apparently attended high school.
People can’t stop shipping Parker Whitfield and Bronny James, claiming that they make a perfect pair!
Salli Richardson’s daughter, Parker Whitfield, accompanied Bronny James as his dad overcame a 13-point setback in the men’s basketball semifinals in the Paris Olympics.
The photos of them enjoying the game and leaving with hands-on hands back to back in two games sparked rumors of them dating.
Moreover, netizens soon began questioning the nature of their relationship as Bronny followed Parker on Instagram, which has over 8 million followers.

Their parents shared pictures of the event along with heartfelt captions: “One Prom down and one to go. @iamlelarochon, happy Mother’s Day, and thank you and your hubby @antoinefuqua for raising such a magnificent young man.” This hints at the closeness of the families.
However, Parker Whitfield now seems to be close to Bronny despite leaving people wondering about the nature of their relationship, as many commented on their recent meetup, saying, “wasn’t familiar with your game Bronny.”
Despite much speculation, the teens haven’t responded to any news, as dating rumors aren’t uncommon for celebrity children.
