The Lakers rookie and Whitfield made their first public appearance at the Paris Olympics

Bronny James and Parker Whitfield are going strong!

As the Los Angeles Lakers rookie, 20, settles into his first season in the NBA, Bronny admitted he's still adjusting to the time away from home — and away from Whitfield, 20.

On Monday, Nov. 4, just hours before the Lakers play the Detroit Pistons in Michigan, Bronny posted a sweet tribute to his girlfriend as he hits the road with his dad, superstar LeBron James, and the Lakers.

"I miss my baby," Bronny wrote in his Story over a sweet photo of the couple at Disneyland Paris. "Love u sm," the NBA rookie, who was drafted to Los Angeles in June as the 55th overall pick after one season at USC, added.

Bronny's younger brother Bryce James was also sitting courtside with the couple in Paris.

On Oct. 22, O'Neal and his Inside the NBA co-host Charles Barkley questioned whether or not Bronny was ready to play in the pro-league. “He's not ready to play in the NBA right now," Barkley said on the show. "He should be in the G League, because he's not ready to play in the NBA first and foremost.”

O'Neal added, “Would have loved to see him play more. Now this [debut] is over. I think he focuses on getting better...Because of his last name we want him to be great but as LeBron said there are 450 of us [playing in the NBA] and there are only a few rookies that have came in and had a great impact immediately. [I've] known the kid a long time."
