*Kobe Bryant and most especially his wife, Vanessa, are due congrats necause they are now parents for the fourth time! Yep, that’s right, Vanessa gave birth to daughter #4.
And guess what the little one’s middle name is? If you somehow guessed “Kobe,” congrats, you win the prize of … nothing. 🙂 But you’re as right as rain, though.
“So thankful for our newest baby blessing,” Vanessa said in a statement … “Capri Kobe Bryant.”
We bet Kobe senior was wishing he could finally have a bouncing baby BOY, but the baby gods decided it would be another gorgeous girl.
“We are beyond excited that our baby girl ‘Koko’ has arrived #BryantBunch #4princesses #blessed,” the NBA legend tweeted.
Capri Kobe Bryant joins 3 older sisters … Natalia (16 years old), Gianna (13 years old) and Bianka (2 years old).

Back in 2017 when he spoke to Extra, Bryant admitted that his wife was hoping to have a boy one day.
“I hear boys are just walking tornadoes. We’ll see. I think Vanessa wants a boy more than I do,” he joked.
He added that when he was still playing, his teammates teased him for being outnumbered in his own home, but he loves having daughters.
“My friends say, ‘It takes a real man to make a boy.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, it takes a king to make a princess … get in line!’ “
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April, Bryant said he was “super excited” to welcome baby No. 4.
“I love my princesses,” he told the host. “Vanessa was kind of putting the pressure on me to have a boy. She said, ‘You can do it, you can do it!’ And then ‘Nah, you can’t.’ “
And if you’re wondering, Kobe Bryant isn’t the first NBA star to give his name to a baby girl — Iman Shumpert named his daughter Iman Jr. when she was born back in 2015.
Also, Serena Williams named her baby daughter Alexis after her husband Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of Reddit.
