Vanessa Bryant Shares Tribute To Kobe For Valentine’s Day


Vanessa Bryant posted a touching tribute to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, on her Instagram story for Valentine’s Day, set to Lauryn Hill’s “Tell Him.”

Vanessa Bryant shared a heartbreaking Valentine’s Day tribute to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, on her Instagram stories, cued up to Lauren Hill’s  “Tell Him.” The love-filled holiday was no doubt much harder for Vanessa this year, as it marked the first Valentine’s Day she had to spend without the love her life as well as her daughter, Gianna. Vanessa decided that Lauryn Hill‘s “Tell Him” could best describe how she felt this February 14th, as she shared a throwback photo herself and Kobe all cozied up while the beautiful ballad plays and Ms Hill’s heartbreaking lyrics scroll by.

Lyrics like, “Though I may suffer, I’ll envy it not/And endure what comes, ’cause he’s all that I got and tell him/Tell him I need him/Tell him I love him,” certainly hit home now more than ever for Vanessa. She has been sharing plenty beautiful posts on social media honouring Kobe and Gigi as she slowly adjusts to life without them.
