On September 10, former NBA star Pau Gasol and his wife Cat welcomed their firstborn daughter into the world, naming her Elisabet Gianna Gasol in honor of the late Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, daughter of the late NBA icon Kobe Bryant. Pau and Cat took to social media<\/a> to announce the news, and no one was happier for them than Vanessa and Natalia Bryant, Kobe’s wife and eldest daughter.<\/p>\n On his Instagram<\/a>, Pau Gasol posted two sweet pictures of himself, Cat, and their new baby girl. He captioned the post: “Our little one has finally arrived!! The delivery went really well and we couldn\u2019t be happier!!
