Birthday
Today (Aug. 23), fans and loved ones of Kobe Bryant are remembering him on what would have been his 44th birthday. As previously reported by REVOLT, the star athlete, husband, and father of four died on Jan. 26, 2020, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Sports also shared a few touching words: “Remembering @KobeBryant on his Birthday.
Thank you for inspiring us every day. Mamba Forever,” they wrote. A video montage showing the highlights of the Lakers champion plays on a loop.
One fan page shared footage of Kobe celebrating a past birthday with family and teammates.
“LeBron and Team USA sing Happy Birthday to Kobe Bryant during the 2008 Olympics,” the post reads.
Vanessa Bryant
Vanessa posted a photo of her and her NBA legend hubby from 2009 … when Kobe won his 4th NBA title and 1st NBA Finals MVP.
Since Kobe — who she married in April 2001 — and daughter Gigi’s untimely death, Vanessa has been honoring them in countless ways … including getting tattoos in their honor, launching the Mambacita clothing line, and taking her 3 other daughters to Italy — where Kobe was raised.
“Visited Reggio Calabria,” Vanessa said in July, “a city my husband lived in when he was about 8 years old.”
“I love you and miss you so much! #44 ❤️ @kobebryant”

KOBE Bryant proudly proclaimed himself a “girl dad” and slammed any suggestion that he needed a boy to carry on the NBA legacy.
His four daughters were the apple of the legendary basketball player’s eye – here’s more on his children.

The couple were parents to four daughters:
- Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant
- Natalia Diamante Bryant
- Bianka Bella Bryant
