Thinking about her angels. Vanessa Bryant shared a touching video of Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant two months after they lost their lives in a fatal helicopter crash.

Vanessa Bryant’s Sweetest Motherhood Moments Following Kobe Bryant’s Death

The 37-year-old former model posted a clip of her late husband gushing about coaching their 13-year-old daughter on Thursday, March 26, via Instagram.

“She started out playing soccer, which is one of my favorite sports as well,” the former Los Angeles Lakers star began in the video. “But then, when she asked about learning the game of basketball, I started teaching her piece by piece, and she started enjoying it and loving it and now she plays every day.”

He continued: “It’s been a joy to watch her grow and to be there every day for that process. Her temperament is a lot like mine. She’s extremely competitive, very fiery, and backs down from no challenge.”

The sweet tribute comes exactly two months after nine people, including Kobe and Gianna, died in the Calabasas, California, crash on January 26. The NBA legend was 41.

Kobe Bryant’s Life in Photos

“[Gianna] is a good mix of me and good mix of her mama,” Kobe said in the clip. “So that makes her even more competitive than I am.”

Kobe and Vanessa shared four daughters: Natalia, 17, Gianna, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 9 months. Hours after her initial post on Thursday, Vanessa posted a photo posing with her eldest daughter and some friends in fun sweatshirts.

In the months following Kobe’s passing, Vanessa filed a request to add their youngest daughter to the late athlete’s trust. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Vanessa, Natalia and Bianka can obtain money from the principal and income trust during Vanessa’s lifetime, but Capri was never added. Vanessa wants to be sure that all of her daughters will be able to distribute the rest of the money upon her death.

Last month, Vanessa made headlines for her powerful eulogy for the father-daughter duo at a public memorial service at the Staples Center.

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. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
