Vanessa Bryant Honors Kobe with Emotional 24th Anniversary Tribute

Vanessa Bryant marked what would have been her and Kobe Bryant's 24th wedding anniversary by sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, posting a nostalgic throwback photo with a simple caption referencing their April 18, 2001 wedding. The anniversary holds special significance as it matches Kobe's iconic No. 24 Lakers jersey. Vanessa's post drew supportive comments from fans, celebrities like Khloe Kardashian, and close friends such as Pau Gasol, who sent her a heartfelt floral tribute. The tribute comes just over five years after the tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of Kobe, their daughter Gianna, and seven others. Vanessa is supported by her daughters and close friends, frequently sharing family moments and tributes that keep Kobe's memory alive. Her ongoing public expressions of love and remembrance emphasize that, for her, grief deepens rather than erases the love she shared with Kobe.
