Vanessa Bryant was hit hardest by the news that her husband and 13-year-old daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant died in a helicopter crash on 26 January 2020.
While many fans struggled to come to terms with his death, Vanessa was reportedly expectedly inconsolable. According to reports, she could not finish a sentence without crying.
It is expected, considering the length of time she spent with her husband and children and the inside jokes they would have had.
Vanessa and Kobe met when he was 20 and she was 17, still in high school. They got engaged when she was 18 and married a year after. The couple were together for more than 20 years.
She has now taken to Twitter to pay tribute to her husband, calling him the “best daddy” and her “best friend”.
She wrote: “#mybestfriend #thebestdaddy Miss you so much. #handsome #sweet #funny #silly #lovinghusband Miss you saying “Bonjourno principessa/reina.”
