Vanessa Bryant Remembers Kobe As A ‘Best Friend, Daddy'

Vanessa Bryant is likely still reeling over the death of her husband Kobe Bryant, and while she’s understandably been keeping her grief mostly private, every once in a while she’s been taking to Instagram to grieve with the rest of us.

On Wednesday, Vanessa shared a heartwarming photo of Kobe on Instagram, touting the Laker legend as her “best friend,” the “best daddy” and a “loving husband.”

“Miss you so much,” she wrote of her “handsome,” “sweet,” “funny” and “silly” husband.

In a separate post, Vanessa shared a video of numerous interviews Kobe did about his quirks, which ends with him calling his wife his best friend.

Kobe, his daughter Gianna, and seven other people, were killed January 26 while taking a helicopter to the Mamba Academy for basketball practice in nearby Thousand Oaks. The aircraft crashed in Calabasas and killed everyone on board.
