‘I Love Your Sisterhood’: Ciara and Vanessa Bryant Go on Skiing Trip with Their Kids

Ciara and Vanessa Bryant carved out some time for another girls trip, with this one leaving them all bundled up and ready to take on some snow. On Sunday, Dec. 27, Ciara uploaded a photo on Instagram smiling big next to her friend Vanessa Bryant as they stand geared up and ready to go skiing.

“The Slopes Aint Ready 😎@vanessabryant,” she wrote in the caption.

The besties posted several photos and videos of their post-Christmas trip on their Instagram page and their Instagram Stories.

The 35-year-old singer shared a video of herself taking it slow on the skis since it was her first time doing the activity.

She wrote, “The very 1st Time I Skied. So much fun. Figuring it all out! 🧊 #SkiLife.”

It’s not clear how long the two moms have been on their vacation together or where they are exactly, but as they always do when they link up they seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. The fun activities for the ladies did not stop there. Not only did they ski, but they also played pool and went ice skating.

Similar to their last trip, Ciara and Vanessa brought their children with them. Videos on Vanessa’s page show her and Ciara tubing with their kids. Ciara’s two oldest children Future, 6, and Sienna, 3, enjoyed a game of indoor virtual golf together while Vanessa’s daughter Bianka Bella Bryant sat in the background cheering Sienna on.

Fans expressed their excitement for the ladies’ holiday linkup, writing things like “I love your sisterhood,” and “Oh you two are all in! Love it.”

Several others praised Ciara for being “a great friend” to Vanessa and being there for her. This was Bryant’s first Christmas spent without her husband, Kobe Bryant, and her daughter Gianna Bryant since they tragically died in a helicopter accident in January.

It appears that Ciara’s husband Russell Wilson did not attend this trip with his wife, but she and Vanessa still showed their support for Wilson after his NFL team, Seattle Seahawks, defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday’s football game.

The “Level Up” singer uploaded a photo of Wilson wearing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey and wrote, “So Proud of You Baby! Best There Is! Way to Win! @SeaHawks! @DangeRussWilson #3#NFCWestChamps #MambaMentality.”

Vanessa reposted the photo and wrote, “Way to represent brother @dangerusswilson 👏🏽My baby’s @kobebryant #MambaMentality will live on forever 💜🐍#2 #8 #24,” in the caption.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
