Vanessa Bryant has a message for the internet: she’s not pregnant.
On Sunday, the 43-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to seemingly shut down rumors circulating on social media suggesting she is expecting her fifth child.
It’s been over 5 years and Vanessa Bryant has held up Kobe’s legacy with nothing but honor. Who gives a [freak] if she’s dating and/or pregnant. Y’all [people] weird.

In the post, she shared a meme of Rihanna bobbing in the ocean with a snorkel mask, holding a drink, and flipping her middle finger. The text? “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”
She didn’t stop there. Later that evening, Vanessa posted a quote that read, “The only way to impress me is by being a good person… I just have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions.” Another Story included another Rihanna meme: “I’m not mean, I’m just not the one.”

Vanessa shares four children with late NBA legend Kobe Bryant: Natalia, 22, Bianka, 8, Capri, 5, and Gianna, who also passed away in 2020 in a tragic helicopter crash with her dad.
Just last month, Vanessa paid tribute to Gigi on what would have been her 19th birthday. She posted a photo of her daughter in her Mamba Sports Academy gear and wrote, “Happy birthday, Gigi! Mommy loves and misses you more than I could ever express. I love you Gianna.”
A few weeks later, she celebrated Natalia’s college graduation. The 22-year-old finished her degree at the University of Southern California, where she wore the Black Mamba symbol on her stole to honor her dad.
Vanessa posted a mix of photos and videos from the ceremony, writing, “We’re so proud of you! #USC #GRAD #CumLaude.”
