Natalia is over the moon
Natalia's exciting news comes at the end of a difficult few weeks for the family.
In January, the Bryants marked the first anniversary of Kobe and daughter Gigi's death.
Taking to social media on 26 January, 38-year-old Vanessa shared a poignant letter written by her late daughter's best friend Aubrey.
She wrote, in part: "Today I received this sweet letter from one of Gianna’s best friends, Aubrey. I love you Aubz (as my Gigi would call you). Thank you so much for beautifully sharing some of your memories of my Gigi with me and allowing me to share them here on my ig.
"My Gigi is INCREDIBLE and I truly appreciate your thoughtful letter. She loves you so much. I miss my baby girl and Kob-Kob so much, too. I will never understand why/how this tragedy could've happened to such beautiful, kind and amazing human beings. It still doesn't seem real. Kob, we did it right. Gigi, you still make mommy proud. I love you!"
