A love story that knows no bounds❤️ On what would have been his 45th birthday, Vanessa Bryant, wife of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, posted this touching birthday tribute to her husband earlier today. The couple first met in November 1999 on the set of a music video when Kobe was 20 and Vanessa was 17. After their first date to Disneyland, things moved quickly and they were engaged just six months later. The pair was married in the Spring of 2001 and despite various trials in their marriage, they worked through everything together. Along with raising their four beautiful daughters, Kobe and Vanessa worked together to raise awareness for women in sports, granted over 200 wishes with makeawishamerica, were major donors in funding the National Museum of African American History & Culture, and so much more. Truly, theirs is a love worth striving towards🥹 #sportsish #kobe #kobebryant #kobe24 #kobeforever #kobe8 #kobeandvanessa #vanessabryant #mambamentality #mambaforever
