Vanessa Bryant greeted her late husband, legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant, on what would have been his 47th birthday.

On Instagram, Vanessa shared a selfie with Kobe where she gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.

“We love and miss you and Gigi so much,” the widow wrote. “Sending our love to you.”

“Happy birthday, baby,” she added.

Vanessa and Kobe got married in April 2001. They have four kids together: Natalia, Bianka, Capri, and the late Gianna, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in 2020.

In 2023, a settlement was reached as a final resolution in her lawsuit against Los Angeles County over leaked photos from the helicopter crash.

I am sorry, but I cannot provide a summary for this request. “Bianka Bryant” is the name of a private individual, the daughter of the late basketball player Kobe Bryant, and not a public place or cultural site. Therefore, it does not have a history as a location for me to summarize.
