Vanessa Bryant threw an epic birthday party this past week.
As a result of everything that family has been through over the past 12 months, all anyone wants to see is that they are doing okay. Thankfully, recently fans got to witness firsthand that the Bryant family is continuing to get all the support in the world from their friends.
This week, all involved celebrated the 4th birthday of little Bianka Bryant.
Among the celebrity luminaries in attendance were Ciara and her 3-year-old daughter Sienna, who were welcomed with open arms to the Cinderella-themed celebration in Newport Beach, California.
Bianka’s birthday cake was shaped like Cinderella’s house in the cartoon. Other pictures showcased the beautiful blue place settings and wide array of games.
“Celebrating The Birthday Princess BB’s 4th Birthday,” Ciara wrote on social media. “We love you so much! What a magically fun day!”

Vanessa has been a model of stability for Natalia, age 17, Bianka, age 4, and Capri, age 1, ever since Kobe’s tragic passing at the beginning of this year.
Back in late January, Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, baseball coach John Altobelli, five others, and the pilot died in a helicopter crash.

The accident shook the entire sports world to its core. Ultimately, the Lakers dedicated their championship-winning 2019-20 season to the Bryant family. The team honored Kobe all year with a “KB” patch on their jerseys and even had an alternate “Black Mamba” jersey set which they wore for several playoff games. They only suffered one defeat the ‘Black Mamba’ jerseys.
After the Lakers won their title, Vanessa came out and acknowledged how much she wished her husband had been around to see it.
“Congratulations Uncle P! Congratulations @lakers Kobe was right, RP! Stay the course – blockout the noise. Go Lakers! Wish Kobe and Gigi were here to see this,” she wrote.

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka, or “Uncle P” as Vanessa called him in that social media post, was one of Kobe’s closest friends and served as his agent during his playing days.
The Bryant family will always be thought of as Lakers royalty, no matter how much time goes by since Kobe’s untimely passing. Because of that, when photos like this week’s birthday party go viral, it is a cause for celebration for everyone.
After everything this strong family has been through, they deserve all the relief, positivity and happiness in the world.
