Kobe Bryant’s Widow, Vanessa Breaks Silence On Viral Remarriage Claim, Says, ‘Getting Remarried…’

Kobe Bryant is still remembered as an NBA legend. In his 20-year career, Kobe won five NBA championships. However, tragedy struck hard when on January 26, 2020, Kobe, along with his daughter, Gianna, tragically passed away in a helicopter crash. It’s been six years, and now Kobe’s widow, Vanessa, is being targeted with baseless speculation. Recently, a post on X (formerly Twitter) has gone viral claiming that Vanessa is set to remarry soon. Here’s how she has reacted to the viral claim.

Vanessa Bryant strongly reacts to the viral remarriage claim

A while back, Vanessa Bryant took to her Instagram handle and strongly reacted to the viral remarriage claim. It is worth mentioning that when the post on X claiming Vanessa is remarrying soon, many people believed it to be true and supported her. This is not the first time that Vanessa has found herself at the centre of unverified claims.

Earlier, in 2025, a rumour was spread like wildfire that Vanessa was expecting a child with rumoured boyfriend, Jaylen Brown. Now that Vanessa has broken her silence on the ongoing matter, it is clear that the claim was baseless and false. She is totally focused on raising her remaining three children, Natalia, Bianka and Capri. Vanessa wrote:

“Can you guys decide already ….. am I pregnant for the 100th time or am I getting remarried???”

Truth behind viral claim, Vanessa Bryant to remarry after inheriting 50 per cent of her husband, Kobe Bryant’s wealth

Recently, a rumour began circulating on X claiming that Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, is set to remarry soon. The post also claimed that Vanessa has inherited 50 per cent of her husband, Kobe’s wealth. For the uninitiated, according to a report by Forbes, Kobe’s net worth was USD 600 million at the time of his death. The viral post can be read as “Vanessa Bryant is set to remarry after inheriting a 50% share of Kobe Bryant’s wealth, with the remaining 50% being shared among their three daughters.”

Now that Vanessa has reacted to the viral remarriage claim, it is clear that her second wedding is not on the cards. But the viral claim about Vanessa got 50 per cent of her husband, Kobe’s net worth is partly true. When Kobe passed away without a will, the California law decided how his money and assets would be shared. As Kobe was married to Vanessa and they had children, the law entitled Vanessa to one-half of Kobe’s assets, and the remaining half was distributed among his surviving children. As per the law, Kobe’s parents and siblings were not entitled to any portion of the estate.

Netizens’ reaction to the viral remarriage claim involving Vanessa Bryant

Shortly after the remarriage claim gained momentum online, netizens flooded the comment section. Slamming the claim, a user wrote, “The Vanessa I know would never remarry lol. She loves her husband too much. And if she ever decides to remarry, she honestly tried fr.” Another user pointed out that it’s been six years to the tragedy, and thus Vanessa can remarry if she likes. The comment can be read as:

“It’s been like… over 6 years now. If she got remarried after 6 months, I’d understand any kind of outrage but 6 years is a long time… gotta move on with life.”

Wishing her good luck, a user wrote, “That’s big news, losing Kobe was devastating, I am glad she’s finding some happiness again. I hope the family stays solid through it all.” Another user penned, “I’m so happy for her, I’m sure her deceased husband would have loved for her to eventually move on.”
