After decades of genuine love in the spotlight, Kobe and Vanessa built a life they both adored. The two had four daughters, one of whom died in the helicopter crash with her dad, Kobe. Out of concern and curiosity, the public is wondering, “Is Kobe’s wife dating anyone?”
The quick answer is, not that we know of.
Is Kobe’s Wife Dating Anyone?
There’s no indication that Vanessa Bryant, wife of the late Kobe Bryant, is interested in dating anytime soon.
As one can only imagine, Vanessa Bryant was overwhelmed with grief after losing her husband of nearly twenty years and her 13-year-old daughter Gianna to a helicopter crash. There were no survivors of the chopper crash that killed nine after erupting in Calabasas, California.
As friends and fans publicly mourn the loss of an NBA legend, Vanessa has understandably kept mostly to herself as she struggles to even comprehend the weight of this tragedy. But she’s tried to remain strong for her daughters Bianka (3) and Natalia (17), while caring for her 7-month-old baby girl Capri.
“It’s an extremely difficult and devastating time for Vanessa and the whole family,” a family friend told PEOPLE.
Another insider told PEOPLE the 37-year-old widow is “devastated,” explaining that “She can hardly keep it together. She can’t finish a sentence without crying. But she is working very hard to pull it together for the other girls. She now has to be the strong one.”

Though Vanessa and Kobe’s marriage certainly saw its ups and downs, their love story was enduring and beautiful.
The two met when Vanessa was just 17 and Kobe was 20. When Vanessa turned 18, Kobe proposed, and they wed in April of 2001. Even two decades later, Kobe was madly in love with the teen who stole his heart during a music video shoot.
