Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant: A Timeline of Their Relationship

Christina’s husband, Matt Mauser, opened up about his “extraordinary” wife during an emotional interview with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on the Today show on Monday, January 27.

“She was incredibly witty, funny, funny like nobody you’ve ever met. … She was warm, she was incredibly bright, she was technologically incredibly savvy. She could figure out anything,” Matt said. “I got three small kids, and I’m trying to figure out how to navigate life with three kids and no mom. I’m scared. I think more than anything I’m a little scared about the future.”

Matt told Guthrie and Kotb that he and his wife both taught at a private school in Southern California that Bryant’s daughters attended. (Kobe and wife Vanessa Bryant shared four daughters: Natalia, 17, Gianna, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 7 months.)

“Kobe took these kids from private school and just made them gritty and tough,” Matt explained, noting that Christina helped Kobe coach their daughters’ basketball team. “He was dedicated and so was my wife. They were dedicated to these girls.”

Matt concluded: “He saw what an amazing mind she had for basketball. They called her the ‘Mother of Defense,’ MOD. It was a family. They all really cared about each other.”

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago.
