Kobe Bryant’s wife shared an emotional holiday message and photos as she spent her first Christmas without a husband or daughter.
Vanessa Bryant, who lost Kobe and 13-year-old Gianna’s daughter in a tragic helicopter crash in January, posted two family portraits: one shot in 2019 with the couple and their four daughters and an image with only Vanessa, 17-year-old Natalia, 4-year-old Bianka and 1-year-old Capri.
“Always together, we never part together forever in our hearts. Obe️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kobe, Vanessa, Natalia, Gianna, Bianka and Capri ”, 38-year-old Vanessa subtitled the series of holiday photos.
Kobe and Gianna were traveling to a basketball game when their helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California.
Vanessa actively kept her memory. She previously posted an emotional Valentine’s Day tribute and added a dog to the family for Father’s Day.
She wrote a heartbreaking message for Kobe’s birthday in August, writing in part: “As much as I want to cry, I put a smile on my face to make our daughters’ days shine a little brighter. I’m not the strong one, they are. They are strong and resilient. I’m sure you’re proud of them. They put a smile on my face every day. “
Most recently, he received a new leg tattoo in October in honor of his family.
