Vanessa Bryant is one of the most beloved figures in all of professional sports.
After facing unspeakable tragedy in losing Kobe Bryant and Gigi, Vanessa has been a pillar of strength and dignity for her family, friends and fans around the world.
Over the past few years, as the matriarch of the Bryant family, Vanessa has been letting fans in more on her daily activities.
The trend continued this week when Vanessa shared some photos by the pool.
You love to see it.
This obviously isn’t the first time in recent weeks Vanessa has blown up online. Between her wild vacation photos, memorable pictures with Trae Young and the trip she took with Pau Gasol, she has been a mainstay in the news cycle.
One of the downsides to the level of celebrity that Vanessa possesses is that the media scrutiny never ends. Be it for her intimate photos, outfit choices or changing appearance, she is always in the headlines for something.
Through it all, though – Vanessa has always maintained a very positive and upbeat attitude.

There are a lot of people out there who, if they were being sued by their own mom, would buckle under the pressure. Not Vanessa, though. She handled it in the best way possible.
And she has done it all while holding up her family and ensuring that they continue to live fulfilling and interesting lives despite all the hardships they have gone through.
No matter what happens, the Bryant family will always be considered sports royalty in the city of Los Angeles. Nothing can change that. And Vanessa, specifically, will always be in the hearts and minds of all the Los Angeles Lakers fans who watched her husband bring five NBA championships to the city.
