Love Is A Beautiful Thing: Kobe Bryant daughter Natalia Diamante Bryant and Her boyfriend finally announce their wedding date…
Natalia Bryant has faced unspeakable tragedy in her life — losing her father, Kobe Bryant, and her sister Gianna Bryant in 2020, when she was just a teenager.
But she, with her mother, Vanessa Bryant, and younger sisters Capri and Bianka, have made it through together.
The eldest Bryant daughter is a college student at the University of Southern California and a professional model.
“If someone says [being a full-time student] is not difficult, they’re lying because it is,” Natalia told PEOPLE in February 2024. “In regards to having a full-time school schedule and also balancing modeling, I do think that you need to just embrace whatever the future has in store”.
She added, “But I do think that having a great support team, family and friends has been the most important thing.”
Since their deaths, Natalia has worked to honor her father and sister’s memories. At a ceremony remembering Kobe in March 2023, she said, “Being his daughter is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I hope to continue to embody and cherish the many lessons he has taught me.”
When Natalia graduated from high school in 2021, she had her dad with her in spirit, decorating her graduation cap with a quote from the basketball legend that read, “Everything negative — pressure, challenges — is all an opportunity for me to rise.”
From her close relationship with her family to her career as a model, here’s everything to know about Natalia Bryant.
