The Bryant family celebrated Natalia’s 18th birthday last month, with Vanessa sharing photos of Natalia with her late father.Â
“Dear Natalia, Happy Birthday! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of the young lady that you are,” Vanessa wrote in a touching tribute on Instagram. “You have displayed so much strength and grace throughout the most difficult year of our lives. Thank you for stepping in to help me with your little sisters.”
The mother of four called Natalia an “incredible big sister” and thanked her “for being kind, polite and gracious in everything that you do. You have no idea how happy and proud mommy and daddy are that you’re our daughter.”
“We love you always and forever, forever and always,” she added. “Happy 18th birthday to our first born, Natalia, our principessa! Love always, Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, BB and Koko.”
Vanessa and Kobe also share daughters Bianka, 4, and Capri, 1. Their 13-year-old daughter Gianna died alongside Kobe and seven others in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
