Vanessa Bryant Dismisses Divorce, Reconciles with Kobe

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa seemed to have worked out their differences as they took the web to announce there will be no divorce.

It was back in December of 2011 that Vanessa filed for divorce from her NBA husband, but since then the couple has been spotted out and about hand in hand.

A few months after Kobe’s wife filed for divorced, he handed over his interest in their 3 Newport Beach mansions which means if they do decide to split Bryant will need a place to stay.

Either way, the deeding over the luxurious home was all in the name of love (we hope) as the on-again, off-again couple is claiming they are going to stay on this time.

If we’re this confused about their relationship we can’t imagine how their adorable little girls feel about all this.

For now, we’re sure they’re excited to see that mommy and daddy have worked things out and have started acting like a married couple again.

After the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, Kobe was spotted leaving with his lovely lady close by his side. With their arms hooked together cameras were snapping away and asking questions about their relationship.

While the cameramen got very few answers as to what was going on between the pair, they did end up spending New Year’s Eve together and ultimately repairing whatever had been broken in their love lives.

“We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled,” Vanessa revealed via Instagram. “Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together.

After Vanessa made the announcement, Bryant also chimed in making his own no divorce announcement on Facebook.

“I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family,” the Lakers star player wrote. “When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers! Much luv, Mumba out.”

The no divorce decree received thousands of likes and fans are hoping that the good news will help put Kobe back in the game and take the Lakers to victory amidst a less than impressive season.

We know what you’re probably thinking though. Kobe is just sticking by his woman because of the old “cheaper to keep her” thing right?

Not this time. It seems like Bryant has lost a lot more financial benefits from trying to stay with Vanessa to make things work.

TMZ did the digging and discovered Vanessa has always owned two of the Newport mansions and recently sold the third one for $3.2 million. They also have discovered reasons to believe that a post-nup has given ‘Nessa way more financial leverage than she would have had if they couple had simply divorced.

Looks like Kobe is deep in love and even money isn’t enough to get him out of it, which is a good thing especially when kids are involved.

We’re hoping that the love will last and that their beautiful daughters – 9-year-old Natalie and 6-year-old Gianna – can enjoy seeing their mom and pop stick together.
