The widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant has seemingly shut down pregnancy rumors with a post on Instagram.
Vanessa Bryant was seen at the women’s final at the US Open, as world number one Aryna Sabalenka defeated American challenger Amanda Anisimova.
The 43-year-old was enjoying an alcoholic beverage at Flushing Meadows, while rumors of pregnancy continued to make the rounds.
Bryant hit back on social media, calling the claims ‘imaginary’.
Writing on her Instagram story, she said: “Enjoying my honey deuce,.
“Keep me posted on how this imaginary pregnancy rumor is coming along. 24 years later….same rumor.”
Five years since Kobe’s tragic death
Vanessa has been a widow since Kobe was one of nine people killed during a helicopter crash in California on January 26, 2020.
The crash also took the life of Kobe and Vanessa’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna ‘Gigi’ Bryant.
Vanessa was pictured with daughters Capri and Bianka at the US Open, while eldest daughter Natalia was seen in separate suite.

This is not the first time that Vanessa has been forced to address pregnancy rumors.
Last June, the widow shared a meme of Rihanna flipper her middle finger. In the caption, she wrote: “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”
Vanessa has not publicly dated anyone since the death of her husband.
There have been rumors in the past which have linked Vanessa to figures such as Pau Gasol, Rob Pelinka, and even Jaylen Brown. However, all such speculations remain unfounded.
Instead, she has turned her focus to honoring the memory of Kobe through philanthropic efforts and public remembrance.
