Rumors Who? Vanessa’s Too Grown For That

One thing about Vanessa Bryant? Sis is forever going to ride for her man and keep her energy unbothered. Even five years after the tragic loss of Kobe and Gianna, Vanessa continues to honor her husband’s legacy with nothing but love—and zero tolerance for the nonsense. A few months ago, the internet tried to start up some wild chatter, claiming the 43-year-old was expecting a fifth child… but she shut that down real quick.

Vanessa didn’t say much, but she let the message speak for itself. She took to IG Stories and dropped a meme of Rihanna in a pool, middle finger raised, drink in hand, captioned: “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.” The background? None other than Tupac’s ‘All Eyez On Me’—because what else do you play when the rumors are loud, but you’re louder with your peace?
