Vanessa Bryant Isn’t Pregnant, And Pau Gasol Is Only Her Family Friend
Despite her charitable efforts, Vanessa Bryant is often subject to misleading headlines.
Recently, fake news outlets circulated rumors claiming she was pregnant, with photos spreading widely online.
Fans of Kobe quickly criticized her, accusing her of publicizing the supposed pregnancy.
The fabricated lies also stated that even though five years have passed since Kobe’s tragic death, some on the internet still feel it’s too soon for Vanessa to move on.
As the rumors spread, some people in the comments asked who the father was, with others speculating it was Pau Gasol.
The internet quickly went into a frenzy, primarily since Vanessa and Pau are known to be close family friends, along with his wife, Catherine.
Many people expressed their frustration and urged others to respect Vanessa’s privacy and let her live her own life.
Folks really need to get a life! This woman’s husband passed away soon to be 5 years ago! Not to mention, so did her daughter. She’s honored her husband and deserves love, happiness and more children if that’s what she desires while still here on this earth. She’s doing NOTHING wrong! Y’all need help. I’m sure there’s gotta be a diagnosis for this type of behavior.
