Ellen Duncan of ESPN remembered Kobe Bryant as a “girl dad” days after learning of the NBA player’s passing. “He bragged for a few minutes about what his three daughters were doing and how tough they were,” Ellen said of her impromptu meeting with Kobe Bryant in New York in 2018.
“He commented his wife Vanessa wanted to try for a boy but was jokingly concerned it would be another girl. I said, ‘How would you feel about that?’ WITHOUT hesitation he said ‘I WOULD HAVE 5 MORE GIRLS IF I COULD. I’m a girl dad. I love the challenge of raising women.”
