Los Angeles – A seemingly intimate birthday party became the center of attention of the entire online community when Bronny James, son of superstar LeBron James, appeared with his girlfriend Salli Richardson-Whitfield at her birthday party at a luxury restaurant in Beverly Hills. But what made fans talk non-stop was the moment Bronny’s face turned red after a “fatal” joke from Salli’s father – veteran actor Whitfield.
According to people present at the scene, the dinner took place in a cozy atmosphere, full of laughter. Bronny appeared polite and quite calm… until Mr. Whitfield, while raising his glass to toast his daughter, suddenly looked straight at Bronny and said:
“Boy, if you plan to be with my daughter for a long time, remember – this family is not bad at basketball.”
The whole table burst into laughter, and Bronny… blushed like a ripe tomato. He bowed his head and smiled shyly, while Salli covered her mouth with her hand, trying to hide her embarrassed and amused smile. A witness recounted: “That moment was so cute. He clearly didn’t know how to react, he just smiled and nodded repeatedly.”
But it didn’t stop there. After that “stormy” statement, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became both tense and… indescribably adorable. Bronny is said to have accidentally dropped his fork, then quickly bent down to pick it up while the whole table continued to laugh. An online fan joked: “He looks like he’s in an interview asking permission to marry someone’s daughter!”
Just a few hours after the clip recording this moment was leaked, the name “Bronny James” immediately climbed to the top trending on Twitter (X). Netizens continuously shared, commented, and created countless memes of his embarrassed face. One humorous comment read: “If this is how Bronny reacts to meeting his future father-in-law, LeBron definitely needs some lessons in stress management!”
Although there has been no official statement from the James or Whitfield families, it seems that both were pleased with the party. Many people believe that this is a sweet turning point in Bronny and Salli’s relationship, proving that the young James is more serious about this feeling than ever.
From a small birthday party, Bronny James once again made the entire social network “melt” – not because of a dunk, but because of a genuine and adorable blushing moment.
