Kobe And Vanessa Bryant Will Stay Together

Kobe Bryant and his wife of ten plus years are getting back together. The couple filed for divorce back in 2011, but never fully went through a divorce process via the court system, and they spoke out on Friday to confirm that they have finally worked things out.

The couple spoke out in a joint statement with omg! Insider, stating the divorce suit has been dismissed and they are fully committed for the future.

“We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled. Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together.”

The L.A. Lakers player and his wife called it quits in December of 2011, after alleged and admitted affairs tore the Bryant family apart, and Vanessa opted to file for divorce. Despite Kobe’s problems with fidelity, when the couple were seen in public they generally seemed to be a great fit, and as soon as a week after the divorce announcement, the Lakers player made moves to earn the love and respect of his wife back.

Those small moves to reconciliation continued throughout the last year, and by June, Vanessa held off on officially signing the divorce papers. It’s always great when a couple can work through their difficulties and stick it out for their family, and Pop Blend would like to wish the couple the very best as they move forward, together, in the future.
