Vanessa Bryant just served the ultimate clapback to wild rumors claiming she’s pregnant and dating a 27-year-old basketball player with Rihanna memes that said it all.
After a flurry of unconfirmed rumors hit the internet claiming Vanessa Bryant was pregnant and even dating a 27-year-old basketball player, Kobe Bryant’s widow wasted absolutely no time in clapping back!
Social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and X have been buzzing with these wild, unconfirmed claims, with some users even circulating old photos of Vanessa to suggest a “baby bump.” Despite the glaring lack of credible evidence, the rumors gained traction, even leading to some harsh criticism directed at Vanessa online.
But Vanessa Bryant doesn’t play when it comes to her peace. On Sunday (June 1), she took to Instagram and expertly debunked the speculation. Her first move was a powerful repost of Rihanna flipping the bird on vacation, captioned with a crystal-clear message: “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer”! And to ensure everyone received the message, she followed that up with a second meme that read, “I’m not mean. I’m just not the one.”
She delivered this epic clapback right in the middle of a fun day out at Disneyland with her two youngest daughters, Bianka and Capri. Her Instagram feed showed highlights from their outing, filled with cheerful selfies, delicious park food, and exciting rides. And in a truly touching moment, she also included a video of a fellow Disneyland attendee wearing a Kobe jersey, a sweet reminder that her late husband is always with her.
This joyful Disney trip comes right after a major milestone for the Bryant family. Her eldest daughter, Natalia, recently graduated from the University of Southern California.
Vanessa Bryant has truly endured more than most of us could ever imagine. Since the devastating loss of her husband, Kobe Bryant, and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, in that tragic 2020 helicopter crash, she has navigated unimaginable grief with incredible grace and strength. She has focused on her family, her philanthropy, and tirelessly honoring the legacies of Kobe and Gigi through the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. She hasn’t publicly dated anyone since Kobe’s passing, making these recent dating rumors particularly baseless.
