On September 9th Beijing time, Vanessa, the 43-year-old widow of Kobe, once again quashed an unfounded rumor—she denied being pregnant by showing herself drinking at the US Open tennis tournament.

The Kobe widow responded on Instagram by posting a photo of herself with her daughters Capri and Bianca watching the match, where she was sipping the US Open’s signature drink, “Honey Gin.” Vanessa captioned it: “Enjoying my honey gin.”

“If there’s any update on this ‘imaginary pregnancy rumor,’ be sure to let me know. It’s been 24 years... and it’s still the same rumor.” The source of this new rumor remains unclear, but just a few months ago, she had already addressed the exact same gossip.

At that time, she used a Rihanna meme to deny it, captioning: “Protecting my peaceful life, not pregnant, just having a great summer.”

It has now been five years since Vanessa’s husband, NBA legend Kobe Bryant, tragically passed away, and since then she has never publicly revealed any romantic relationships.

Kobe and Vanessa had four daughters together; previously, their second daughter Gianna died alongside Kobe and seven others in a helicopter crash.

Last month, on Kobe’s birthday, Vanessa posted a tribute: “We love you so much, miss you and Gigi. Sending our love to you. Happy birthday, my baby.”
