Vanessa Bryant commemorated her and Kobe Bryant’s 23rd wedding anniversary with a touching Instagram post.
The 41-year-old widow shared a photo collage featuring sweet moments with her late husband. “Happy anniversary @kobebryant #23,” she captioned the post. The images captured the couple playfully kissing and posing together, with Vanessa in a sparkling long-sleeved dress and Kobe in a classic black suit.
Friends and fans flooded the post with warm messages and heart emojis. One admirer wrote, “Vanessa, these are beautiful,” while another added, “Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing these heartfelt moments with us all.”
Their 21-year-old daughter, Natalia Bryant, also commented with three red hearts, showing her love and support.
On 26 January 2020, Kobe Bryant tragically died in a helicopter crash that claimed nine lives, including his daughter Gianna. The accident occurred in Calabasas, California, leaving a profound impact on the Bryant family and the sports world.
Earlier this year, on the anniversary of the crash, Vanessa posted a photo of Kobe and Gianna sitting courtside, highlighting their close bond.
Vanessa and Kobe also have two other daughters, Bianka, eight, and Capri, four. Vanessa recently attended the unveiling of a 19-foot bronze statue of Kobe at a Los Angeles Lakers game with her three children. In her Instagram post celebrating the event, she echoed one of Kobe’s famous sayings.
A friend commented on the post, “We miss him so much! So happy for the three statues LA gets to have! Forever a legend! Sending my love!” Another added, “YES, forever a legend. Love you all so much.”
Vanessa Bryant’s heartfelt tribute and the overwhelming support from friends, fans, and family underscore the lasting impact of Kobe Bryant’s legacy.
