Vanessa Bryant continues to commemorate the special moments she would’ve shared with her late husband.
On Saturday, Vanessa took to Instagram where she celebrated her 19th anniversary with Kobe Bryant.
“My king, my heart, my best friend. Happy 19th wedding anniversary baby,” she wrote under a picture of her and Kobe. “I miss you so much. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms. I love you.”
Vanessa also shared an excerpt from an interview in which a young Kobe Bryant explained how he knew she was “the one” for him.
“You know, it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly makes a person the one for you, but you just know,” the late basketball legend said in the clip. “Love is a funny thing. I can’t explain it and I can’t understand it. All I know is, she caught my heart and I just knew that she was the one.”
Today marks their first wedding anniversary since the tragic helicopter accident that claimed the lives of Kobe and their daughter, Gianna. The couple met on the set of The Eastsidaz’s “G’d Up” music video in 1999. At the time, Kobe was 20 and Vanessa was 17. After she turned 18, Kobe proposed to Vanessa, and they got married in 2001. Along with Gianna, the couple shared three other daughters—Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.
