Vanessa Bryant is widely known for beign the widow of late Lakers and NBA superstar Kobe Bryant. She’s a dancer that met Kobe while he was at a recording studio shooting a video for his debut musical album and just six months after meeting each other, the couple got engaged.
She was 17 and Kobe 21 at the time they met and their marriage wasn’t approved by Bryant’s family nor his agent. They didn’t attend the wedding as a sign that they didn’t support him, mainly because of her age at the time, because she was still a senior in high school and Kobe was about to become one of the NBA’s best players.
They proved everyone wrong and continued to form a beautiful family with four daughters.

Bryant won a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s and Fire departments over photos taken by officials in which the remains of her late husband and daughter were explicitly shown. The pictures were reportedly passed and shown between several officials in both departments.
