Vanessa Bryant Pays Tribute to Kobe Bryant on What Would Have Been Their 23rd Wedding Anniversary

Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram to commemorate what would have been her 23rd wedding anniversary with late husband Kobe Bryant. The 41-year-old shared a heartfelt tribute on Thursday, April 18, posting a screenshot of several scrapbook pictures with the caption, “Happy anniversary @kobebryant #23.”

The couple first met when Vanessa was 17 and Kobe was 20, and after a magical first date at Disneyland, they fell in love and got married in 2001. Together, they shared four daughters, including Natalia, Bianka, Capri, and the late Gianna Bryant.

Natalia Bryant, now 21, also commented on her mother’s post with three red heart emojis, showing her love and support for her parents’ enduring relationship.

The emotional tribute comes four years after the tragic helicopter crash in January 2020 that took the lives of Kobe and Gianna. Vanessa spoke at a memorial held the following month, describing Kobe as a romantic and loving husband who cherished their anniversaries and special moments together.

Vanessa also shared her pride in Gianna, affectionately known as Gigi, noting that she had the potential to become a standout player in the WNBA and was dedicated to advocating for gender equality in sports.

The touching tribute from Vanessa Bryant serves as a reminder of the enduring love and legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, who continue to be deeply missed by their family, friends, and fans around the world.
