Kobe Bryant Seeks To Halt Divorce From Vanessa Despite Several Affairs

UPDATE-Kobe Bryant wants to make his marriage to Vanessa Bryant work and take their pending divorce off the table. Sources close to the family told TMZ, Kobe’s two daughters are playing a major role in his effort to reconcile with Vanessa Bryant.

“We’re told Kobe is “deeply depressed” over the situation — and is very concerned about how his daughters will handle growing up in two separate households.”

It’s rather surprising that Kobe hopes to reconcile despite being accused of having numerous affairs during his 10 year marriage. Vanessa accused Kobe of sleeping with over 105 women!

“[Vanessa] estimated that he was averaging at least 10 affairs a year with different women over the course of their marriage and puts his number of conquests at 105”.

While sources state that Kobe is concerned about his children it’s unknown how much his finances are impacting his state of depression.

Kobe Bryant’s divorce will cost him upwards of $75m after it was reported Vanessa did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

Without a prenup coupled with 10 years of marriage Vanessa Bryant’s divorce settlement with Kobe Bryant will be half of the Los Angeles Lakers star reported $150 million net worth in addition to ongoing child and spousal support.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
