Kobe Bryant's Kids Gianna + Natalie + Wife Vanessa: Photos
The late Kobe Bryant is a legend for his skills on the basketball court. But many have also come to know him as the ultimate “girl dad.” The Los Angeles Lakers star, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash alongside his daughter 13-year-old Gianna, left behind his wife Vanessa and three daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. Gianna, the second eldest, was a basketball player with big dreams herself.
Prior to his untimely death, Bryant was regularly seen with his wife and three girls. Whether on the court or the red carpet, it was clear they were his world.
