After multiple infidelities and one rape charge, Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa finally had enough in 2011. She filed for divorce from the man she had been with since they were teenagers. It looked like their divorce was going to be messy and it looked like Vanessa was definitely going to walk away with a major payday. But a year later, she called off their divorce. In 2016, they announced they were expecting their third child, their third girl. Well… it looks like Retired Kobe still wants more kids, because Vanessa is pregnant with another girl.

New year, new Mambacita? Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant announced Tuesday night that he and his wife, Vanessa, are expecting their fourth child — a baby girl, or as Bryant wrote, “another #mambacita.” The couple already has three daughters: Natalia, Gianna and Bianka.

I feel like it’s sort of weird that Kobe will be the father of four girls – it probably happened naturally, and Vanessa is only 36 years old, and I don’t think she’s needed any fertility treatments for any of her pregnancies. People on Twitter are making a big deal about how Kobe has wanted a boy for a while, so maybe this was Vanessa’s last attempt at “giving him a boy,” only to find out that they’re expecting another girl. I also think it’s weird that Kobe’s whole deal is so whitewashed. It’s not just about giving an Oscar to an accused rapist (which happened). It’s about pretending that Kobe and Vanessa have this super-strong marriage or whatever. They’re extremely messy. But I guess Vanessa is just ride-or-die for him and she’s going to keep on having babies.
