Vanessa Bryant - English
Pau Gasol has often stepped up for Vanessa Bryant and her children in the absence of Kobe Bryant since his passing, and he has done it again now.
On Friday, April 18, Kobe and Vanessa would have celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary. Gasol was a former teammate of Kobe and a very close friend.
He decided to make sure that Vanessa still felt special, even though it has been over five years since Kobe and their daughter Gianna Bryant were killed in a helicopter crash.
Pau Gasol and his family sent Vanessa a huge bouquet of roses and the close relationship that the two families have is incredibly heartwarming given the tragic situation that they found themselves in.
They also wrote a card that said: “We love you, forever. Happy 24th Anniversary. XOXO P,C,E,M,J.”
An emotional month for Vanessa Bryant
Earlier in the month, there was a very emotional moment for Vanessa as the Connecticut Huskies won the 2025 national championship.
The Gasols and the Bryants
It was a moment that brought memories of her daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant rushing back to the spotlight.
Shortly after the win, Vanessa shared a heartfelt message on social media in honor of Gigi, who had long dreamed of wearing a Huskies jersey.
“Gigi would’ve loved being with you,” Vanessa wrote, alongside a powerful quote from her daughter: “When you think you can’t, UConn!” The message resonated far beyond the box score, it was a tribute to a future that was taken far too soon.
Gigi’s connection to UConn wasn’t just casual admiration. According to Kobe Bryant, she was “hellbent on UConn,” idolizing the program’s culture, success, and head coach Geno Auriemma.
UConn knew the feeling was mutual. In the wake of the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Gigi and Kobe in 2020, the program honored her with a jersey and flowers at center court. They’ve since referred to her as “forever a Husky” across their social platforms.

New Giants QB Jaxson Dart models his unique eye black after Anakin Skywalker as lifelong ‘Star Wars’ fan
Imagn Images The New York Giants have a new quarterback in Jaxson Dart, who made a name for himself at Ole Miss not only as a passer but for his signature eye black, often smudged above and below just his right eye. It turns out the 2025 first-round draft pick took inspiration from a galaxy far, far away for the style choice, revealing recently that the eye black is a "tribute" to Anakin Skywalker, who bears a scar over his eye in "Star Wars.""I [started] it back in my junior year of high school," Dart explained to ESPN. "The first time I saw it was on an LSU defensive back. ... I did it on one eye, and somebody pointed out to me [the similarities] -- one of my friends who's also a huge 'Star Wars' fan -- and ever […]

Shedeur Sanders NFL Draft rumors: Tyler Shough could be selected over Colorado star in Day 2
Getty Images After falling out of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is hoping to find out about his NFL future on Friday night. To add insult to injury, there was another quarterback selected over Sanders in the first round, when the New York Giants traded to select Jaxson Dart at No. 25 overall. Sanders' slide may not be over, as there's another quarterback, or two, who could be selected over him.Prior to the start of Round 2, ESPN's Adam Schefter said he would not be surprised if Louisville's Tyler Shough is selected over Sanders. Why would that happen? Schefter says he doesn't believe there are a lot of teams that love the idea of drafting Sanders, and that the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders may land with a team that surprises us […]
