Vanessa Bryant took to social media to share a glimpse of her family vacation trip to her roots. Bryant shared a short reel from Mexico. The sun-drenched clips show Vanessa completely at ease, savoring local food, enjoying the scenery, and making more memories with her daughters.
It’s been over five years since the world mourned with Vanessa Bryant. The devastating loss of her husband Kobe and daughter Gianna in 2020 left an unfillable void, but her post isn’t about sorrow, but gently reclaiming joy.
Vanessa's summer family vacation comes weeks after she shut down pregnancy rumors. On Sunday, June 1, the 43-year-old philanthropist threw some classy shade at the persistent whispers claiming she's pregnant with her fifth child.
In a mic-drop moment, Vanessa posted a meme to her Instagram Stories that showed Rihanna floating in the water, rocking a pair of goggles and a cocktail, and flipping off the camera. The meme's caption read: "Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer," complete with emojis.
Not satisfied with just one dose of Bad Gal RiRi, Bryant added a second meme to her Stories, this time featuring Rihanna at a red carpet event, captioned, "I'm not mean, I'm just not the one."
Her posts appeared just days after rumors started circulating online that she might be expecting another child. The internet loves a juicy headline, but Bryant is clearly not in the mood to entertain unfounded gossip.
