Happy Birthday, Bianka “BB” Bryant!
The daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant turned nine years old on December 5th and her mom celebrated the day with a sweet photo on Instagram.
The portrait, taken by Kusha Alagband Photography, shows Vanessa in a white sweater dress while Bianka sits beside her in a princess-style dress. It’s the kind of picture that looks straight out of a fairytale.
“Happy 9th birthday, BB! We love you so much superstar! Xoxo, Bianka Bella! the proud mom captioned.
Fans and friends of the family took to th comment section to share their own well wishes.
“BB!! I love u so much!!!!!! Kiyan does too,” Lala Anthony wrote.
Ciara, who is a longtime friend of the Bryant family, commented, “BB Princess!! We love you so much!”
Bianka is one of four daughters that Kobe and Vanessa Bryant shared together. The couple married in 2001 and welcomed four girls together: Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri.
The family faced an unimaginable loss in 2020 when Kobe and Gianna passed, something Vanessa has spoken about only occasionally.
In a previous interview with People, she shared that her daughters are the reason she continues to move forward each day.
“This pain is unimaginable [but] you just have to get up and push forward. Lying in bed crying isn’t going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again. But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do,” she said. “My girls help me smile through the pain. They give me strength. I want to make Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri proud.”
