Vanessa, before meeting Kobe Bryant, was just an unknown student in a high school in Los Angeles, but a meeting at the end of 1999 led to a marriage. At that time, Kobe's fame was not as high as it is now, and Vanessa Laney of 16 was only a sophomore. She often models in her spare time, and one day she was invited to help make an MTV. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Kobe who recorded a song in the studio that night. They fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love.

The 2000 NBA Finals was Vanessa's first public appearance, but at that time, the media only found that Kobe often molested her outside the court, not knowing that they had established a love relationship. Since then, the relationship between Kobe and Vanessa has developed secretly under the chase of the media, until April of 200 1 year-Kobe suddenly announced that he was going to marry Vanessa!

On April 9th, 20001year, Kobe Bryant married Vanessa in a Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles. The wedding was accused by the media as "Kobe's irresponsible behavior". At that time, the bride Vanessa wore a white wedding dress without even wearing the groom's tuxedo, and Kobe didn't invite any teammates to witness it.

After getting married, Kobe spent a lot of money

Vanessa, who was born in poverty, came from a divorced family and her mother was Hispanic, which made Kobe's parents very dissatisfied. They always hope that their son can find a suitable girl. After failing to ask Kobe to abandon Vanessa, Kobe's parents and two sisters left his mansion in Los Angeles and resolutely moved back to their hometown of Philadelphia.

Despite the external pressure, Vanessa's obedience to Kobe made him love him more and more. During his honeymoon, Kobe once spent13.5 million dollars to buy a mansion with a private cinema, a recreation room and an artificial lake for Vanessa to relax. They once visited China hand in hand, visited the Great Wall together and left a group photo.

After the crisis, the husband retired and forbeared.

The waves occurred in the summer of 2003. When Kobe went to Eagle County for knee surgery, he was accused of sexually assaulting a female college student aged 19, and then fell into a "sexual assault record" of 14 months.

At that time, Vanessa had a daughter with Kobe. She showed the concession and forbearance of a great mother. Shortly after the incident (July, 2003 19), she and her husband appeared at a press conference, fighting back their grief and saying that Kobe was just confused for a moment. Vanessa said at that time: "My husband is definitely not a criminal. I know he won't commit a crime. He won't invade anyone at all. He has always been a good husband and father. I believe his innocence. Because I firmly believe in his innocence, I will support him and face everything with him. I will do my best to support him in refuting all absurd accusations. I won't leave him alone. I know Kobe better than anyone. In private, he is a thousand times better than on the court and in public. "

Finish the goal and get back together.

Because of this incident, there was a bad feeling between Kobe and Vanessa. It was not until June 2004 1 that they got back together with a big victory. This is the sixth game of the Western Conference finals. The aggressive Timberwolves made a comeback under Garnett's leadership, which once brought trouble to the Lakers. But Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal joined forces to grit their teeth at the last minute and finally beat the Timberwolves 96-90 to advance to the finals!

Vanessa attended the competition in person. After the game, Kobe held his beloved wife and daughter to his chest, and Vanessa also said with a heartfelt smile that after the court storm, the family had made up.

Get married because you need worship.

Perhaps it is the emotional blank that makes Kobe urgently need the comfort of love. 1an encounter at the end of 999 contributed to Kobe's current marriage.

Vanessa Lane, 16 years old, a sophomore, works as a model in her spare time. At that time, she was doing dance work for Snoop Dogg, and Kobe just recorded his own rap music in the studio. The two met at this point. In the words of one witness, "They both stopped and fell in love at first sight." Soon, Kobe used his black Mercedes-Benz limousine to drive Vanessa to and from school. Because the girl lived with her stepfather at that time and managed her loosely, the relationship with Kobe Bryant developed rapidly.

The local TV station that got the news began to "search for news" at Marina High School where Vanessa attended regularly. In order to take photos of Kobe and Vanessa together, they even used helicopters to hover over the school. This phenomenon has aroused the dissatisfaction of the school. They forbid Kobe to appear near the school, and forbid him and Vanessa to participate in any school activities. Although the school refused to give any explanation, Kobe's friend Tanahei believes that Kobe's appearance has greatly interfered with the original normal teaching order of the school, and Vanessa has become a big celebrity in the school.

In the end, Kobe had to hire a private teacher at his own expense to educate Vanessa at home.

Boys and girls didn't expect that there was a "storm" waiting for them, and Kobe's family opposed such love. His parents designed everything for Kobe, including asking Kobe to find a suitable and prestigious woman to marry. Vanessa is just a sexy ordinary woman with a Spanish family background and a white father. She is ridiculed by Kobe's family as "uneducated".

One player of the Lakers thinks that Kobe and Vanessa are not together because of love: "Kobe is just happy to have someone around him, and this person has patience to deal with him." He doesn't know that the other person is just a child, and his feelings for him are only awe and worship, not the love between men and women. "

The contradiction was quickly intensified. Due to the financial situation of Vanessa's family, the family often spends Kobe's money, which makes Kobe's parents more and more dissatisfied. At this time, Kobe offered to marry Vanessa. Although his agent Tenem kindly reminded Kobe that it was best to sign a prenuptial property certificate with Vanessa, Kobe refused. Kobe's family wants Kobe to reconsider and get married in a few years. Lakers coach Jackson has the same attitude as Kobe's parents. Even Jordan and several NBA veterans advised Kobe to be cautious in this matter, but Kobe decided to get married.

In April, 200012000, Kobe Bryant and Vanessa got married in a small church in Dande Point, but the result was estranged from each other: his parents and sister left him and moved back to Philadelphia. They didn't attend his wedding, and no one from the Lakers showed up there.

Kobe and Vanessa met by chance. 1999165438+10, when Kobe visited the shooting scene of a musical film, Vanessa, who was only 18 years old, was on the scene as a background model. They fell in love at first sight. Vanessa designed an earhook for Kobe, and Kobe put it on his left ear. A romantic love story begins. ...

Vanessa is a beautiful Latino girl. Her mother is American and her father is Mexican. Before meeting her, she lived in Huntington Beach with her grandparents. She has excellent academic performance, rich painting talent and is very active in the school drama club. But she just took it as a hobby and didn't consider becoming a professional actress. It is said that during the period of infatuation with Kobe Bryant, helicopters often appeared over Marina High School where Vanessa attended, which was the story that the media was following them.

In this love story, Vanessa is the condemned character. It is even said that Kobe's mother thinks she is after her son's money. The media also pointed the finger at her, thinking that Kobe's enthusiasm for Vanessa was his immature performance. Others asserted that Kobe's sports career would be ruined by this woman, because Kobe refused the invitation of the American Basketball Association to join the Dream Team 4 instead of grant hill for her.

But Kobe still maintains his own independent personality in his marriage. In May, 2000, Kobe Bryant, 2 1 year-old, announced to reporters that he proposed to a young lady after a team training. After the NBA finals, their marriage was accepted. "She is my star." Kobe said. Besides revealing her age and hometown, Kobe refused to provide more information about Vanessa to the media. "She brought another extreme to my life. I only knew basketball before, but she made my life more balanced. "

"When I learned the news, I deliberately walked behind Kobe and looked at him. He was surprised and asked me what it was. I asked him if he felt that he was wet behind the ears (which should be close to China's "wet behind the ears"), so it was too early to get married. But he replied,' Oh, I do everything before others'. He is confident that he can take responsibility and I am happy for him. " Jackson then told reporters.

"When you were young, you were always full of fantasies," Vanessa's grandfather said of her engaged granddaughter. "She looks very happy."

And their engagement gift has also become a topic of discussion. This is a dazzling seven-carat diamond ring worth $654.38 million. Sandy Friedlund, the owner of Kobe Bryant's jewelry store, said the ring was as big as a nickel. "I've been thinking about how to make this ring this morning," Fred Lund said. "The biggest ring I have ever made is only two carats. This is too big! "

But the wedding was postponed to April 200 1, 18, a few days before the start of the playoffs. The wedding was held in a Catholic church near Los Angeles. Only a dozen guests were invited to the wedding, all of whom were relatives of the bride and groom. Kobe Bryant and his angel stood under the heart-shaped arch and received the blessing of the priest. The bride wore a white wedding dress, and the skirt dragged straight to the ground; Kobe is dressed in a handsome black suit. Their feet are covered with red rose petals.

Kobe kept a secret so well that almost no one knew the details of the wedding except the family who came to attend the ceremony. Even the Lakers teammates learned the good news after training the next day.

The love story between Kobe Bryant and Vanessa is full of controversy, and even their skin color and age are the targets of some people's criticism. On the forums of some websites whose main users are black, there are many voices accusing Kobe, such as: "How beautiful that huge diamond ring would be if it were worn on the hands of our black sisters!" "Wait a minute. Some people even come to the conclusion that once black men succeed, they will say goodbye to black women. All these remarks show that interracial marriage still makes many black Americans nervous, and they are afraid that interracial marriage will destroy African-American society. Besides skin color, Vanessa's age has also become the focus of discussion. A reporter wrote humorously in the article: "Kobe is one of the most handsome and energetic stars in the NBA. I wonder how this 18-year-old girl made him fall at his feet. "Some fans think that marrying a high school girl shows his immaturity. More boring reporters predict that their marriage will last two to five years.

Kobe, on the other hand, sneers at gossip and takes good care of his cherished partner. Compared with secular law, he values the rare truth in the world more. On the evening of May 1 1 only one month after their marriage, before Kobe prepared to play the third game against Kings on behalf of the Lakers, he learned that Vanessa, who was far away in Los Angeles, was taken to the emergency room because of severe pain in her left side. Bryant quickly contacted the attending doctor and learned that his wife would not be in danger, only to calm down a little. As a result, he scored 36 points in the next game and led the team to beat the king.

As soon as the game was over, Kobe got on the plane and returned to Los Angeles. When he entered the room in a panic, he found that his rescued wife had sunk and fell asleep with the accompaniment of music. After staying at home with his wife for a day, Kobe Bryant 13 flew back to Sacramento, leading the team to beat the Sacramento Kings, the top player in the regular season, with 48 points 16 rebounds. After the game, Kobe said, "My wife is ill. Going home from the away game didn't distract me too much. In fact, it's only a game against Kings, and my love for my wife is more important to me. Her health is very important to me. To tell the truth, when I heard that she was ill, I was very scared. You know, it's just a game. It is more important for me to keep her healthy because she is very important to me. "

According to Phil Jackson, Kobe's only interest is to go shopping with Vanessa besides playing ball. Kobe's behavior is amazing in this league where even the moral model Jordan Flying Man is involved in the scandal. Kobe loves Vanessa in every way. He once bought her a York puppy worth $2,000, which became a hot news in American tabloids. In order to give Vanessa a quiet world, Kobe has never allowed the media to interview her. When some good reporters ask about his private affairs with Vanessa, Kobe will also refuse to answer mercilessly. Once, an ESPN reporter went to Kobe's house to interview him, and Vanessa stayed upstairs all the time. A well-known reporter tried to ask Kobe about his married life, and Kobe said, "This has nothing to do with you!" " "The old reporter joked," Hey, maybe I can give you some useful advice. " Kobe replied, "I can handle it myself. "

After nearly two years of marriage, Kobe did not "ruin his sports career in the hands of this woman" as some people predicted; On the contrary, marriage has made Kobe more mature, and teammate Fox also attributed Kobe's progress in the past two years to his marriage. He said, "Marriage has filled Kobe with sacrifices and responsibilities."

On June 65438+1October 65438+September 2003, the little princess of the dynasty, Natalia Diamanti Bryant, was born. Champion, young hero, beauty and little princess. As a man, Kobe has an enviable successful career and a happy family. ...
