Kobe Bryant Wife,
A source close to the couple revealed, "Vanessa almost threw in the towel four years ago. Kobe has always had a slew of girlfriends, and the cheating was almost blatant."
The insider added, "Vanessa had consulted with a divorce attorney, not Laura Wasser, who she has hired to represent her now. Kobe promised Vanessa he would stop cheating, and the two went to marriage counseling. Kobe did seem like a devoted husband, and Vanessa decided not to go through with filing at that time."
Mrs. Bryant stood by her man for over a decade, even when they faced difficult times in 2003 after Kobe was accused of sexually assaulting a Colorado woman. The Lakers shooting guard admitted to having intimate relations with the 19-year-old woman, but denied the sexual assault.
"Vanessa wanted to stay together for the children. Vanessa stood by Kobe during his darkest hour, and she believed him when he said there would be no more women," the source said. "Vanessa began to get suspicious again about 16 months ago about Kobe cheating on her -- he knew that if he wasn't faithful, she would leave him. Vanessa had no other choice."
Meanwhile, Kobe has already moved out of their Newport Beach mansion, and is reportedly focused on his kids and the upcoming season of basketball with the Lakers.

That is what Kobe gets, I remember back in I believe in 2001, when Kobe got on the radio station and put down black women because he thought that they were putting his girl down because they said that she was white, He said that the girls was jealous, What are the girls now Kobe, are they jealous, I bet they are glad they didn?t get with you. I like kobe and he share the same birthday as my son, but good luck to him, maybe he will fine his Cryptoninte (aka( white women) ,that is what they are doing now day.
