In 2009, the year Kobe won his fourth NBA championship and his first NBA Finals MVP award, Vanessa shared a selfie of herself and her NBA legend husband.
You can see Bryant giving Vanessa a bear hug after the game while sporting his 2009 NBA Championship shirt and hat. They were both beaming.
The 40-year-old wished the infant a happy birthday on Tuesday.
Since the untimely deaths of her husband Kobe, whom she married in April 2001, and her daughter Gigi, Vanessa has been paying tribute to them in a variety of ways. Some of these include getting tattoos in their honor, starting the Mambacita clothing line, and taking her other 3 daughters to Italy, where Kobe was raised.
Vanessa reported visiting Reggio Calabria in July, the city where her spouse had resided since he was around 8 years old.
Of course, Bryant continued to play in the NBA for 20 seasons, winning 5 championships and twice being named MVP of the NBA Finals. He was also an 18-time All-Star, broke numerous records, and is regarded as one of the greatest NBA players in history.
