Vanessa Bryant's enduring devotion to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, persists four years after the basketball icon's untimely passing.

The couple marked their 23rd anniversary on Thursday, April 18, with the widow of the Lakers legend taking to social media to commemorate the occasion.

"Happy Anniversary @kobebryant [heart emoji] #23," the 41-year-old philanthropist wrote on Instagram.

Vanessa posted a collage featuring five intimate photos of her and Kobe, both elegantly dressed at an unspecified event.

She consistently shares posts about Kobe and actively participates in events commemorating her husband's legacy.

Recently, she was notably present at the unveiling of his statue outside of the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as the Staples Center, in early February 2024.

The couple's romantic journey began at a young age in 1999, and they tied the knot in 2001 when Kobe was 22 and Vanessa was 18.

They share four daughters-Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri. Tragically, Gianna and Kobe perished together in a helicopter crash in January 2020.

Vanessa Bryant is keeping Kobe Bryant's legacy alive

Vanessa Bryant currently oversees the estate of the Lakers' all-time leading scorer.

She gained attention for renegotiating a deal with Nike, advocating for increased availability of Kobe's sought-after sneakers to ensure more fans could access them.

Additionally, she spearheads the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, which is dedicated to assisting young athletes in need.
