Bronny James is arguably among the most popular college athletes in the history of sports. This is largely due to being the son of one of the greatest NBA players, LeBron James. Bronny is currently playing college basketball at the University of Southern California. Everyone has been curious to know more about him, especially details about how his dating life is going and the girls that he has been linked to in the past.

Notably, LeBron’s firstborn made his long-awaited USC debut on December 10, 2023. The reason why his debut was awaited by the fans was that he had a life-threatening medical emergency in the summer. He had a cardiac arrest at the end of July and required medical care including surgeries and adequate rest. So far, Bronny has played 11 games and had an average score of 5.9 points, 2.6 total rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

Seeing Bronny donning USC basketball colors for the first time emerged as a hope to witness him playing beside LeBron. Especially since the Lakers star has mentioned how he wishes to play along with his two sons, Bronny and Bryce James. This dream could be a reality soon as fans speculate the chances of Bronny James getting drafted in the 2024 NBA draft.

Furthermore, Bronny’s popularity has landed him endorsement deals from some of the most reputable brands such as Nike, FaZe Clan, PSD Underwear, Beats by Dre, etc. As a result, he has had a whopping $5.9 Million NIL Earnings. This amount is enough to make LeBron’s teammates jealous as it is significantly higher than some of the players’ salaries.

Before committing to the University of Southern California, Bronny James graduated from Sierra Canyon High School. His time at Sierra Canyon was marked with significant milestones and achievements. During his final year, Bronny averaged 14 points 5.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. In addition to this, he was named McDonald’s All-American as a senior.

While Bronny’s high school career was impressive, it is pale in comparison to LeBron’s high school stats. In addition to his basketball career at Sierra Canyon, Bronny’s prom date made waves over social media. He attended high school prom with Peyton Gelfuso. The athlete was also rumored to be dating her and fans’ were hooked on them.

The rumors first swirled around when their pictures of being all dolled up for prom went viral. Bronny’s mother Savannah James posted a picture of the two together on their first prom night which went viral after their second prom night together. Since the two went on prom night together twice, fans’ speculation that the two are a couple got stronger. In addition to this, Bronny and Gelfuso were spotted at various games together.

Notably, Gelfuso studied at the same high school as Bronny. She played tennis, whereas, Bronny was inclined towards basketball. She is also a growing social media personality who gained significant followers after her rumored relationship with Bronny made it to the headlines. Neither of the two have accepted or addressed the rumors as of now.

Bronny’s awkward interaction with Corinna Kopf

Bronny James once had an awkward interaction with social media personality Corinna Kopf. One of Bronny’s friends, Adin Ross invited the basketball player to his house. At the time, Ross had Kopf at his place as the two were live-streaming on social media.

Bronny entered and the three greeted each other in a friendly manner. The influencer Kopf was keen to know how LeBron‘s son celebrated his birthday.

Furthermore, amidst the conversation, Ross caught Kopf staring at Bronny and he decided to ask her about it. To which, she responded by saying, “He’s like tall now and his voice is deep and stuff.” Anyone would be flattered by this compliment, however, Bronny had a rather cold reply. He didn’t hesitate as he said, “You’ve never met me….When?” The influencer reminded him that the two previously met at a party organized by Ross.

The video of this awkward interaction went viral immediately and the fans had some of the most hilarious and amusing reactions. Under the YouTube video, one fan left the comment saying, “Little Bron isn’t falling for bitches. He has a legacy to carry.” Along similar lines, other fans talked about how he has to concentrate on his basketball career and not on meeting girls.

Additionally, some of the fans were quick to point out the awkwardness. One commented, “Bronny just brushing her off and you can feel the awkward vibe,” and continued to talk about how she was trying to be cute and talk whereas, Bronny just walked off. Furthermore, fans drew a comparison between Bronny and LeBron as they said, “Like father, like son. The composure around bitches.” While a few talked about Kopf being a gold-digger.

Allegedly Sliding into Celina Smith’s DMs

Back in 2023, Stephen Deleonardis who is more commonly known as ‘Steve Will DoIt‘ made a bombshell claim about Bronny’s dating life. During a live stream, without even hesitating for a second, he said, “Bro if my girl f—d Bron Jr I would be so upset. Dude, he is so good at basketball. I’d be so depressed if my girl f—d Bron Jr.” Further, he explained that Bronny slid into the DMs of his longtime on-and-off girlfriend Celina Smith.

Steve Will DoIt of Nelk Boys said, “And you know why I say that? it’s cause LeBron Jr. messaged my girl… She told me about it.” Additionally, he did not provide any kind of evidence to make people believe that what he is claiming is true. However, Bronny has remained silent over this allegation, making fans inclined to believe that Bronny slid into the DMs of Smith.
