Vanessa Bryant Finally Reveals Pregnancy Status
Vanessa Bryant Finally Reveals Pregnancy Status
Vanessa Bryant, widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, has directly addressed recent pregnancy rumors circulating on social media. On June 1, 2025, she shared a meme on her Instagram Stories featuring Rihanna with a caption stating she was “not pregnant” and focused on “protecting my peace” while “having fun all summer.”
These unfounded pregnancy rumors have been spreading online without any credible evidence. Multiple sources confirm there have been no verified reports indicating Vanessa is expecting a fifth child or in a relationship. The speculation appears to stem from doctored images and misleading captions circulating on social media platforms.
Vanessa, now 43, has remained focused on raising her three daughters – Natalia (22), Bianka (8), and Capri (5) – following the tragic loss of her husband Kobe and daughter Gianna in January 2020. She frequently shares glimpses of family life on social media, including recent winter vacation footage showing the girls skiing and their trip to Disneyland last year.
Her recent Instagram posts suggest her current mindset, sharing motivational content emphasizing the importance of “pure hearts and good intentions” over material possessions. Another post featured the statement “I’m not mean, I’m just not the one,” potentially addressing unwanted speculation about her personal life.
The Bryant family continues to honor the memories of Kobe and Gianna. When UConn won the women’s NCAA basketball championship in April 2025, Vanessa shared a heartfelt note mentioning how Gianna, who had been a promising young basketball player, “would’ve loved being there.” She also congratulated UConn head coach Geno Auriemma on the team’s 12th national title.
The helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe and Gianna in January 2020 also resulted in the deaths of seven other individuals. Kobe was 41 years old at the time, while Gianna was just 13, a rising talent in women’s basketball.
The recent pregnancy rumors have sparked criticism from fans who feel such speculation is disrespectful to someone who has experienced significant personal tragedy. Social media users have expressed concern about the spread of such unfounded claims about public figures without verification.NB
