year

love

story

may not have been perfect, but it was one for the books that we met, actually, a video shoot that I was filming, she was there and we actually had when we met, We have it on tape the

year

. 1999 Vanessa was only 17 years old and still in high school. Kobe was 20. She got a point, so she turns around. I said excuse me when she called Vanessa. You know my eyes got really big, like I wasn't wasting any time. The two had their first date. Disney Land, a date that replicated 20 years later, in 2019.

I was lucky that a couple got engaged after just six months announcing the news at Vanessa's 18th birthday party. I am so excited to get to the rings this year to touch her rings. Sabrina on April 18, 2001 Kobe and Vanessa got married in Dana Point, California, the people we worked with, good job, excellent, keeping everything quiet, we had a peaceful, peaceful ceremony, only about 12 people attended the ceremony intimate, doesn't sound better to Ms. Bryant Oh January 19, 2003 Kobe and Vanessa welcomed their first child together. We have a beautiful girl. My name is Natalia Diamante Bryant and you know she is amazing.

After suffering a miscarriage in early 2005, the couple welcomed their second daughter. Gianna Maria, better known as Gigi on May 1, 2006, how nice it is to have both of you now, how did you go from one to two? Well, I think it's time management. I think it's time we can balance the two, you know, but. It's funny we had a great time in 2011, the then mother of two filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, but in 2013 the divorce was called off regardless of any personal issues Kobe and Vanessa may have had, they remained 100% committed to their family . What we need to do is just be who we are,

love

each other, love our family and keep one foot in front of the other, keep moving.

Vanessa was excited for her next chapter when Kobe announced that he was retiring from the NBA in November 2015. We told you about Vanessa's competitiveness. Non-competitive, it is natural that I have children in the same way and the lovebirds had two more daughters. Bianca was born on December 5, 2016, you have three girls, this will be your fourth child and the youngest, Capri Kobe, arrived on July 21, 2019. Was that you? expecting a boy or I'm super excited I love my princesses Kobe and Vanessa seemed more in love than ever after their reconciliation. On January 8, 2020, just weeks before Kobe and the couple's 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, died in a helicopter crash along with Seven Others, the Black Mamba had this to say about his 20-year relationship with Vanessa on the oldest smoke podcast.

We forgot about the secret sauce man, just commitment and competitiveness. We will be successful. This is a constant up and down that has been ebbs and flows of relationships, but that is also the beautiful thing about this and having perseverance in the determination to overcome very, very difficult things, we have been able to make their love was tragically cut short on January 26 and Vanessa has state of mourning for her beloved husband and second. child since then, on Valentine's Day, the 37-year-old posted a sweet photo with Kobe writing a quote for my Valentine forever in the caption.

I love you so much, I miss you so much at your favorite party.
