Vanessa Bryant is embracing another Mamba.
While honoring her late husband Kobe Bryant, the 43-year-old shared a sweet photo of her daughter Capri Kobe Bryant, 6, following in his athletic footsteps.
“Like father, like daughter,” Vanessa wrote on her July 24 Instagram post, which sees a split image of Capri—whose middle name is a nod to her dad—emulating Kobe’s stance while holding a basketball. And if her spot-on pose wasn’t enough proof, Vanessa also referred to her little one as, “Baby Mamba” and her nickname “KoKo Bean.”
This isn’t the first time Vanessa—also mom to Natalia Bryant, 22, Bianka Bryant, 8, and late daughter Gianna Bryant, who passed away in a 2020 helicopter crash alongside Kobe and seven others—has shared Capri’s interest in the sport. Exactly two years ago, the Mamba & Mambacita author posted a photo of her youngest smiling while holding two basketballs on Instagram, her bright expression similar to her dad.
