My LOVE ❤️My HEART
She shared a video of an interview where Kobe was asked by a reporter 'What made Vanessa Bryant the one?"
Kobe made a heartwarming response.
Its hard to pinpoint what makes a person the one for you but you just know. I mean love is a funny thing. I can't explain it and I don't understand it.
But all I know is, she caught my heart and I just knew that she was the one.
She is very strong-willed. I see us being two cool parents. Young parents, full of energy and I have a ton of energy.
Kobe was an American professional basketball player and played his entire 20-season professional career in the league with the Los Angeles Lakers.
He died in a tragic chopper crash together with his daughter Gianna and seven others on the 26 January 2020.
