Vanessa Bryant Shuts Down Rumors She’s Pregnant

Vanessa Bryant Addresses Rumors She’s Pregnant

For a while now, there have been rumors swirling around that Vanessa Bryant is pregnant. The rumor mill has it that the 43-year-old is expecting her fifth child with an unidentified 27-year-old boyfriend.

Well, Vanessa has now decided to put the rumors to rest, shutting down the claims with a series of Instagram stories.

Reacting to the speculation, Vanessa who is Kobe Bryant’s widow, posted a meme of Rihanna floating in water, snorkel mask on, flipping the middle finger, captioned, “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”

Vanessa posted another meme with Rihanna’s photo, writing, “I mean, I am not just the only one.” Then on Sunday, the businesswoman and philanthropist posted a motivational quote not directly related to the pregnancy rumors.

“The only way to impress me is by being a good person. I don’t care what you have… I just have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions.”

False reports of Vanessa being pregnant began circulating after online detectives suggested she’s having a baby bump, citing unverified photos.

Vanessa already has four children, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and the late Gianna, who died in the helicopter crash with her father, NBA star Kobe Bryant.

Back in August, Lakers unveiled a statue in honor of Kobe and his daughter Gianna ‘Gigi’, in a private ceremony. The statue which is the second of three planned monuments honoring Bryant is located outside Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.

The statue is a tribute to the legendary Los Angeles Lakers player and his daughter, who tragically died in a helicopter crash in January 2020 along with seven other people.
