Vanessa Bryant the Latest Basketball Wife to Bounce
Published at
Kevin Mazur/WireImage(LOS ANGELES) — Vanessa Bryant is the latest basketball wife to call it quits.
The wife of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant filed for divorce Friday, citing ”irreconcilable differences” after 10 years of marriage. She stood by his side when a Colorado hotel concierge claimed he had raped her in 2003 (the case was later dismissed, but not before Bryant admitted that he had “consensual sex” with the woman). Vanessa Bryant also remained quiet despite reports that Bryant had multiple other extra-marital affairs.
The couple is seeking joint custody of their daughters, Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5. The split is expected to cost the sports pro plenty: they have no prenuptial agreement, according to the Los Angeles Times.
