It has now been nearly seven years since Kobe Bryant's untimely passing, but he continues to live in the hearts of many - as does Gianna Bryant. His name frequently comes up in basketball dates, and his "Mamba Mentality" remains a theme for many athletes around the world.
Nowhere does he stay closer than the hearts of his immediate family. He was survived by wife Vanessa Bryant and two of their daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. Time doesn't heal all wounds, but the four of them have helped each other through the toughest of times. And now, Natalia is truly shining.

The 23-year-old has turned into a notorious model, and recently got her biggest gig. Bryant took part in the iconic Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the very first time, sporting a pink-themed outfit that went viral on social media. Before it happened, Vanessa revealed that Kobe and Gianna were with them in spirit.
On the night of the VS Fashion Show, Vanessa posted on her Instagram story a "sign" she received from Kobe and Gianna: "Right before I exited the car, Moonlight Sonata started playing. Always with us. Kobe & Gigi. Sweet Signs."
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata played a very special role in Vanessa's relationship with Kobe. Kobe learned to play the song on piano entirely by ear, without any type of lesson. It was a romantic gift of sorts for Vanessa. The song was later played by Alicia Keys at Kobe and Gianna Bryant's memorial service in February of 2020.
