Vanessa Bryant has reflected on her first introduction to her late husband, and basketball legend, Kobe Bryant.
In a poignant post published on the 41-year-old’s Instagram on Monday, Vanessa honoured the 24th anniversary of the day she met the former professional athlete. The year was 1999, and the pair had bumped into each other on the set of Kobe’s music video. Vanessa was 17 years old, while Kobe was 21 years old. At the time, the star had been pursuing a career in music, focusing on the arts before eventually becoming one of the greatest NBA players.
