They were young when they met 20 & 17 pretty much sweethearts! So incredibly heartbreaking. Kobe had an amazing career, fame and a gorgeous family. As for Vanessa i simply can't imagine her loss and my heart is bleeding for her...hope she has plenty of support around her

....it's been 6 years since my dad passed away. Mom has dementia and forgets that he has passed. Bless her heart.

He was an incredible dad.. i dont think i have ever seen a more involved father. His eyes light up when he sees his daughters.

When she lost Kobe she became a widow. When she lost her baby girl Gianna there is no name for that. It's so tragic

[hajnihajni]

I can imagine how much does she miss him. It’s heartbreaking and I am so sorry for her. May God fill this empty place in her heart.

Vanessa Bryant is the true definition of a ride or die

I think after she filed for divorce, then they reconciled, their commitment to their marriage was stronger then ever. They seemed so very happy, and added 2 more beautiful girls to their family.
It’s so, so sad!

[lilagarcia]

Still can’t believe this is real. I feel for Vanessa and I can’t imagine her pain.

[angelitafranz]

I cry every time I see Kobe. He is so lucky in love and having his beautiful girls! God bless his family always !

WHAT in the hell are these nasty comments??

Seriously the woman just lost her husband and DAUGHTER. Not the place or time.

[notyouraveragejoe]

Wow she had a miss carriage before GIGI?
How sad, she lost her too.

[rafaelatulfa]

There's no perfect marriage but theirs is like a fairy tale..beautiful couple with beautiful daughters. .I love them. 💖

[CornbreadMillionaireLifestyle]

A beautiful love story! They both went through some seriously hard times... and came through stronger and more in love. AMAZING!

[brittori]

Kobe was a role model for many people no matter the color of skin, he was a good father to his beautiful girls. No one is perfect in life, it’s what you do after you make mistakes counts. To me Kobe showed the world how to work really hard and to be a excellent father to his beautiful girls. RIP Kobe we’ll always miss you, and your beautiful daughter.
