Both Natalia Bryant and Vanessa Bryant are two personalities that hold a special place in the hearts of sports fans.
As the daughter and wife of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, they have stepped into the limelight since his passing in a way that has helped keep his memory alive.
Because nothing was as important to Kobe as his family, seeing Natalia and Vanessa thrive has been wonderful to see.
This week, a video Natalia posted on TikTok featuring Vanessa went mega-viral – and it’s easy to see why.
The video largely speaks for itself:

Reactions poured in immediately:
The resemblance between Natalia and Vanessa is absolutely uncanny.
Big picture, it’s wonderful to see Natalia and Vanessa get so much outward public support. Natalia also boasts more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram and routinely goes viral for posts like this:

Between the messages that were recently released involving Kobe’s passing and Vanessa’s recent beef with an NBA star and reporter – it feels like the family has had a rough go of things as of late.
And that is to say nothing of the vicious legal war against her own mother that Vanessa had to wage, nor the accusations about her changing body in the court of public opinion that she has repeatedly had to fend off.
The Bryant family will forever be considered Los Angeles and general NBA royalty.

Because of that, everyone just wants to see them be happy, healthy and doing well.
That’s why Natalia’s TikTok did such massive numbers – it encapsulates all those things.
Hopefully we will see more of the same coming from the Bryant family in the coming weeks, months and years.
