‘No one should ever experience what the families involved are going through,” she continued. ‘This has affected us all so much but I cannot begin to imagine what Vanessa is feeling losing her husband and her baby girl. I cry just thinking about it. I am praying for the Bryant family, the Altobelli family and the families of all who perished in this unthinkable tragedy. Rest In Peace Legend.’

They got married in April 2001 when she was 18, and the already global basketball superstar was 22.
The couple had four daughters: Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri.
