Vanessa Bryant is keeping her love story with the late Kobe Bryant alive
Although Vanessa spent another holiday without Kobe Bryant, she is keeping her love story with the late basketball player alive. The philanthropist and businesswoman took to social media to commemorate the 24th anniversary of their meeting.
The 41-year-old mom of four shared on Instagram a photo of the day she and the former basketball player met. Labeled as “Day 1,” the image shows Kobe wearing a gray sports sweatshirt with black stripes while his arm is wrapped around Vanessa. She wore a pink mesh crop top paired with her bleached blonde hair. “24 years ago…. Day 1,” she wrote, “#1999 👑❤️ 11/27/99.”
Vanessa and Kobe reportedly met on the set of the music video for Snoop Dogg’s “Tha Eastsidaz” and were inseparable until Kobe passed away in 2020 in a helicopter crash that also killed their daughter Gianna Bryant and several other friends.
