About this Song
Vanessa Bryant marked what would have been Kobe Bryant's 48th birthday with a moving Instagram tribute on August 23. Vanessa Bryant celebrated her late husband Kobe Bryant's birthday with an intimate throwback photo, writing that she loves and misses him. The post, shared on Instagram on Sunday, August 23, shows the couple smiling together in a sunny outdoor setting. Vanessa also posted the same image to her Instagram Story with the caption Happy birthday Boo-Boo, set to Tell Him by Lauryn Hill. Friends including David Beckham, Michael Phelps, Gabrielle Union, Kris Jenner, Tina Knowles, Russell Wilson, and Rachel Zoe left messages of support. Vanessa also teamed up with the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA for a joint tribute calling Kobe an icon, a legend, and a Laker. Kobe and Vanessa married in April 2001 and share four daughters, including the late Gianna, who died alongside her father in the 2020 helicopter crash. The tribute follows a similar post Vanessa shared in May for what would have been Gianna's 20th birthday.
