Vanessa attends her daughter s graduation ceremony, 43 years old, full and charming, millions of diamond rings in her hand make people cry

In May 2025, the graduation ceremony of the University of Southern California was very lively, with 22-year-old Natalia Bryant standing on the stage, her white dress making her look particularly dazzling.

She received her degree certificate, her smile was filled with youthful confidence and 43-year-old Vanessa Bryant stared quietly, her eyes full of relief. On this day, Vanessa shared her daughter's graduation photo on the Internet. On the red ribbon on Nana's chest, Kobe Bryant's unique logo was printed on it.

At that moment, countless people's eyes turned red, as if Kobe had never left and was still accompanying his daughter through an important node in his life in his way.

This graduation ceremony is not only a milestone for Nana, but also a microcosm of Vanessa's step by step from the pain of losing her loved one with her three daughters.

Vanessa's starting point is not conspicuous. She was born in an ordinary Mexican family in California. After the family broke down, she lived a simple life with her mother. When she was 17 years old, fate took a big turn. She was a background dancer in an MV shooting and met 21-year-old Kobe Bryant.

At that time, Kobe was already a hot NBA star, young, handsome and promising.

The two quickly sparked. Although there were many discussions outside, some people thought Vanessa's background was too ordinary, and some people questioned their age difference, none of these could stop them from falling in love.

In 2001, they got married in a low-key manner. Kobe's parents did not show up at the wedding, but Vanessa didn't care. She proved her choice with her actions. In the days after marriage, Vanessa slowly walked from behind the scenes to the front stage. She accompanied Kobe through the highlights of her career and faced the trough together.

In 2003, Kobe was caught in a scandal and his marriage was shaky for a time, but Vanessa chose to forgive and accompany him through the storm.

That year, Kobe gave her a diamond ring worth millions, which became a symbol of reconciliation between the two. Later, Kobe's injury and retirement, Vanessa was always the woman who silently supported her.

She also helped Kobe manage brand and charity projects, and became an indispensable partner in his career.

The two gave birth to four daughters: Natalia, Jaina, Bianca and Capri. Vanessa devoted all her efforts to the family and tried her best to give the children a warm home.

5 years ago in January, a disaster came without warning, and an accident took away 41-year-old Kobe and his second daughter Gianna.

Gianna inherited Kobe's basketball talent. Everyone said that she is the "female version of black mamba" and her future is unlimited.

At that time, Vanessa was still carrying the young Bianca and Capri. Faced with the sudden blow, her world seemed to collapse. In the days after

, she almost disappeared from the public eye. The sadness made her neglect to take care of herself, gain weight, and always had fatigue on her face.

Some people even sarcastically sarcastic about her appearance on the Internet, but she didn't have time to pay attention to this. She knew that her three daughters were still waiting for her.

For the sake of the children, Vanessa forced herself to cheer up. She began to receive psychological counseling and slowly learned to face the pain. She also hired a fitness coach, started exercising again, and adjusted her diet.

Over the past few years, she not only restored her healthy figure, but also regained her former self-confidence. In 2025, she is 43 years old, with an elegant temperament, a plump figure, and a bit more mature charm on her face. The diamond ring that Kobe gave was still worn in her hand, like a promise and a reminder.

She often said that children were her reasons for living, and Nana, Bianca, and Capri became the most important light in her life.

Natalia, her family called her Nana, the eldest daughter of Vanessa and Kobe.

22-year-old, she is 1.8 meters tall, has a bit of facial features like her father, but her temperament has her own taste.

She chose the School of Film Arts of the University of Southern California, which coincided with Kobe's interest in entering the entertainment field in his later years.

Kobe won the Oscar for animated short films during his lifetime. Nana's love for movies seemed to be continuing her father's creative dream. During college, Nana also participated in the production of several short films, showing her interest in directors and production. At the graduation ceremony, she was wearing a white dress and curly long hair. She stood on the stage confidently and calmly. The "Mamba" logo on the red ribbon seemed to be applauding her.

Nana is not just a student, she has also made a fortune in the modeling circle.

At home, Nana is so sensible that she feels distressing. She often shares her daily life with her sisters online and takes them to play and study.

Bianca and Capri are underage, but are also growing up in care. For Vanessa, the children are her greatest motivation.

She will take them to basketball games and tell the stories of Kobe and Jaina, so that they can know the spiritual wealth left by their father and sister.

In addition to family, Vanessa also put her efforts into Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.

This foundation was founded by her husband and daughter, and specializes in helping young athletes, especially girls, pursue their sports dreams.

In 2024, the foundation held several youth basketball training camps, and Vanessa was present in person to share Kobe's story with the children and encourage them to pursue their dreams bravely..

These activities not only allowed Kobe and Gianna's spirit to survive, but also allowed Vanessa to find new goals. She said that when she did these things, she felt that Kobe and Gianna were by her side.

Vanessa's love life is always stared at by the outside world. After Kobe left, some people wonder if she will find a life partner again.

At this year's graduation ceremony, the million-dollar diamond ring in her hand was so heartbroken.

That was given to her by her husband 20 years ago, carrying the relationship between the two of them. Vanessa had never taken it off and publicly said that she would always love Kobe and take good care of the children.

These words make many people feel that she will not consider new relationships in the short term. However, 43-year-old Vanessa is still young and has never shortage of people around her who care about her.

The media has photographed her having dinner with her friends, but she always says that those are just ordinary friends.

Her life circle is very lively, and she often attends events with Hollywood stars and singers, and her life is fulfilling and exciting.
