"OMG": Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union gets nostalgic on Parker Whitfield's 20th birthday snaps ft. Bronny James
Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union sent a message to Bronny James' friend Parker Whitfield on her 20th birthday. Whitfield turned 20 on Tuesday and her mom, actress Salli Richardson Whitfield, posted a touching message on Instagram, celebrating the big day with a series of pictures that included the LA Lakers rookie.
"Happy 20th birthday to my first born. @parker.whitfield to say that I’m proud of you doesn’t explain how much I respect the person that you are growing up to be. I could not ask for a better daughter. I love you dearly," Salli Richardson Whitfield captioned the post.
Union was one of many who commented on the post, noting how much time has gone by since Parker was a baby.
"OMG😢I remember baby Parker on that long flight," the actress wrote.
Parker is now 20, entering her sophomore year at Spelman College, a liberal arts college in Atlanta. She comes from a family of actors, as her mom Salli appeared in films such as 'I Am Legend', and episodes of television series like 'House' and 'Criminal Minds'.
Her father, Dondré Whitfield, is a three-time Emmy nominee with participations in projects with Kevin Hart and Michael B. Jordan.
Bronny James accompanied the family in this event, as he's been spotted with Parker since the 2024 Paris Olympics. They were together watching Team USA during the basketball tournament.
