Meeting with Kobe Bryant.
Vanessa was just an unknown student in a high school in Los Angeles before she met Kobe Bryant. She is very active in the school drama club and gets good grades. 1999, 16-year-old Vanessa Laney is still a sophomore in high school. In her spare time, she works as a background model and dances for Snoop Dogg, while Kobe is recording her own rap music in the recording studio [K.O.B.E], and the two meet. In the words of a witness, "two people. Soon, Kobe drove Vanessa to and from school in his black Mercedes. Because the girl lived with her stepfather at that time, and she was very loose with her, the relationship with Kobe developed rapidly.
The 2000 NBA Finals was Vanessa's first public appearance, but at that time, the media only found that Kobe often molested her off the court, not knowing that they had established a relationship.
Of course, there is no windtight wall in the world, because Kobe and Vanessa always appear in such a high profile, so many media know the news.
The local TV station that got the news began to "search for news" at Marina High School where Vanessa attended regularly. In order to take photos of Kobe and Vanessa together, they even used helicopters to hover over the school. This phenomenon has aroused the dissatisfaction of the school. They forbid Kobe to appear near the school, and forbid him and Vanessa to participate in any school activities. Although the school refused to give any explanation, Kobe's friend Tanahei believes that Kobe's appearance has greatly interfered with the original normal teaching order of the school, and Vanessa has become a big celebrity in the school.
In the end, Kobe had to hire a private teacher at his own expense to educate Vanessa at home.
Decide to get married
Since then, the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Vanessa has developed secretly under the chase of the media. In 2000, Kobe announced that he would get married after the finals. But the wedding was postponed to April 200 19 1 day, and Kobe announced that he was going to marry Vanessa. Kobe's mother is very opposed to this marriage. She thinks Vanessa is here for Kobe's money. The contradiction was quickly intensified. Due to the financial situation of Vanessa's family, the family often spends Kobe's money, which makes Kobe's parents more and more dissatisfied. At this time, Kobe offered to marry Vanessa. Although his agent Tenem kindly reminded Kobe that it was best to sign a prenuptial property certificate with Vanessa, Kobe refused. Kobe's family wants Kobe to reconsider and get married in a few years. Lakers coach Jackson has the same attitude as Kobe's parents. Even Jordan and several NBA veterans advised Kobe to be cautious in this matter, but Kobe decided to get married. On April 9th, 20001year, Kobe Bryant married Vanessa in a Roman Catholic church named Dand Point in Los Angeles. The wedding was accused by the media as "Kobe's irresponsible behavior". At that time, the bride Vanessa wore a white wedding dress without even wearing the groom's tuxedo, and Kobe didn't invite any teammates to witness it. The reason is that Kobe's family opposes such love. Kobe's parents designed everything for Kobe, including asking Kobe to marry a famous and prestigious woman, and Vanessa is just a sexy ordinary woman from a poor family. Her family background, with a Spanish mother and a white father, was ridiculed by the Kobe family as "uneducated". And they think Vanessa doesn't really like Kobe, but likes his money! Despite the external pressure, Vanessa's obedience to Kobe made him love him more and more. During his honeymoon, Kobe once spent13.5 million dollars to buy a mansion with a private cinema, a recreation room and an artificial lake for Vanessa to relax. They once visited China hand in hand, visited the Great Wall together and left a group photo. On June 65438+1October 65438+September 2003, the little princess of the dynasty, Natalia Diamanti Bryant, was born.
