Vanessa Bryant is addressing rumors about her private life with a little help from Rihanna’s play book.

The widow of the NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, closed the online speculation that she is pregnant with her fifth child by sharing a photo of Rihanna that looks particularly without zerada, drinks in her hand, to her Instagram stories.

“I am protecting my peace, not pregnant and having fun all summer,” Vanessa Bryant wrote, along with a handful of happy emojis.

A moment later, he added a second Rihanna meme with the legend: “I’m not bad, I’m not the right one.”

The rumors that Vanessa Bryant hoped that a child with an unidentified basketball player began to appear online at the end of last month, although the source of speculation is not clear.

The philanthropist and former dancer has not been in a romantic relationship since the death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in 2020 in a helicopter accident.

She and her late husband also share three other daughters: Natalia, 22, Bianka, 8, and Capri, 5.

Before the ingenious response of Vanessa Bryant, the rumors had caused a good amount of speech on the social expectations imposed on the widows. The involvement that the 43 -year -old woman had gone to a new romance five years after the death of Kobe Bryant generated criticism on social networks, and some suggested that she had the obligation to stay single to protect the legacy of her late husband.

“Bashing Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant’s wife, for being pregnant is crazy for me. Really, she is a widow,” said a Tiktok user on Monday. “What do you expect the widows to do? Life continues, life continues to move. Who said she couldn’t heal and could not move on and continue living life?”

He added another: “This lady is allowed to love again … everyone knows that many men move the following month, the following year, the following week, the next minute. So why does it matter? Literally, half of a decade has literally spent.”

New romance or not, Vanessa Bryant seemed faithful to her promise to take a day in Disneyland.

On Monday, he shared a brief video on Instagram showing her with her daughters in Anaheim’s theme park, California.
