Kobe Bryant is one proud father and husband. The legendary NBA star, who is one of the best athletes of all time, took to social media along with his wife Vanessa to announce that they are expecting a new baby girl. This isn’t Kobe and Vanessa’s first rodeo. The couple already have three daughters: Natalia, Gianna, and Bianka who are ages 15, 12 and 2, respectively. The Bryant patriarch will be surrounded by one more beautiful lady by the end of the year. Under a post that read “New year, new baby! Baby Mamba on the way 2019,” Kobe wrote, “Vanessa and I are beyond excited to announce that we are expecting another #mambacita to go along with Natalia, Gianna and Bianka.” You can feel his excitement from the post.

Vanessa posted an identical picture to her Instagram, but instead wrote, “Kobe and I are so happy to add another baby blessing to our family! Bianka will have a new baby sibling to play with and Natalia and Gianna are super excited to welcome another little baby sister to love.” Kobe and Vanessa have been married since 2001, and have overcome drama within their own home and in the media. Congratulations to the Bryant family!
