Vanessa Bryant’s heartfelt ode to her late husband Kobe

As a philanthropist and wife of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, she praised Natalia for her many admirable qualities, describing her as everything a parent could hope and pray for.

The image, underscored by The Temptations’ “My Girl,” was a touching reminder of Kobe’s role as the ‘Best Girl Daddy.’

The loss of Kobe and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna, also known as Gia, in a tragic helicopter crash in 2020, remains a poignant memory for the family. 

Despite the loss, the family’s love and support for each other continue to shine through.
