Vanessa Bryant — Kobe Bryant
In 2001, Vanessa married Kobe. Their friendship began while Kobe was just starting out as a rapper. One of his backup dancers was Vanessa Laine. Vanessa’s parents did not approve of their marriage because she was just 18 years old at the time. Vanessa and Kobe’s love was not without its difficulties, but they were able to reunite and have four children as a result. Till Kobe and her daughter Gianna died tragically this year, the pair intended to try again until they could have a boy.
