Vanessa Bryant is addressing viral speculation that she’s currently pregnant and plans to walk down the wedding aisle.
“Can you guys decide already…..am I pregnant for the 100th time or am I getting remarried???,” Bryant, 43, posted via her Instagram Story on Sunday, May 3.
Bryant was responding to a viral post on X that claimed she has moved on with an unnamed man more than six years after the death of her husband, NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
“Vanessa Bryant is set to remarry after inheriting a 50% share of Kobe Bryant’s wealth, with the remaining 50% being shared among their three daughters,” the bogus message claimed.
The post has received more than 6,000 likes and over 2.5 million views at the time of publication.
Vanessa’s post also included a response to the original post, which read, “It’s been six years, if she wants to remarry then so what. Is she supposed to stay alone the rest of her life?? 😭.”
The erroneous announcement received a community note on X, explaining that Kobe’s estate is “managed via a trust for his family, without a confirmed 50/50 split.”
Vanessa and Kobe got married in April 2001 and welcomed four daughters together — Natalia, born in 2003, Gianna, born in 2006, Bianka, born in 2016, and Capri, born in 2019 — before the basketball star’s untimely death.
Kobe and Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash in January 2020. Kobe was 41, while Gianna was 13.
Vanessa is no stranger to shutting down speculation about her personal life since losing her husband and child.
After a social media post went viral in March 2026, claiming that Vanessa was pregnant for her long-term boyfriend’s baby, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Vanessa was not expecting and did not have a romantic partner.
In June 2025, Vanessa nipped pregnancy rumors in the bud again by sharing a meme via her Instagram Story of Rihanna flipping off a camera.
“Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer,” Vanessa captioned the photo.
Vanessa recently paid an emotional tribute to her late daughter, Gianna, on what would have been her 20th birthday.
“Happy birthday to my sweet baby angel, Gianna,” Vanessa shared via Instagram on Friday, May 1. “Words can’t express how much I love and miss you mamacita. Mommy loves you so much!”
To commemorate Gianna’s birthday, the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation — named after Kobe and Gianna — announced a new initiative as part of her legacy.
“Today, May 1st, marks what would have been Gianna Bryant’s 20th birthday,” the organization shared via Instagram. “In Gigi’s honor, we are proud to announce the 2026 Class of Gianna Bryant Scholars — 20 exceptional student-athletes from Los Angeles and Orange County, administered in partnership with the California Community Foundation and local Boys & Girls Club affiliates. Congratulations to all of our 2026 Scholars! We are deeply honored to invest in your future.”
The foundation added, “And to our Gigi, Happy 20th Birthday! Your vision, your spirit, and your beautiful heart continue to light the way.”
