As if the NBA Lockout wasn’t enough, Kobe Bryant will be experiencing one lonely Christmas day as his wife, Vanessa, files for divorce, officially ending their 10 1/2 years of marriage.
Vanessa Bryant, filed the divorce on the ground of “irreconcilable differences“. According to TMZ (through Yahoo!), Vanessa filed the divorce papers because of an alleged “unfaithfulness” of Kobe, yet again.
Kobe however did not say anything to the press regarding the divorce.
According to TMZ.com;
Vanessa Bryant filed legal docs Friday afternoon, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ … Vanessa — who stuck by Kobe after he was charged with sexually assaulting a Colorado woman in 2003 — decided to end the marriage because she believes Kobe has been unfaithful … again.
As one source puts it, “She’s been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she’s finally had enough,” adding, “This one is the straw that broke the camel’s back.” And our sources say … Kobe “desperately” wants to win Vanessa back and will do “whatever it takes” to save their 10 1/2 year marriage.
According to the legal docs, Vanessa is asking for joint custody of their 2 daughters — 8-year-old Natalia and 5-year-old Giana — but Vanessa is asking that Kobe get visitation rights, which means she wants the kids in her care most of the time.
Although Kobe did not give any statement regarding the divorce, fellow player Pau Gasol was also asked by reporters regarding the divorce. Check out his interview regarding Kobe Bryant’s divorce below:
