The couple wed at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Dana Point, California on April 18, 2001.
Vanessa and Kobe welcomed four children together – Gianna, Natalia, Bianka and Capri.

Speaking to PEOPLE magazine, the mum-of-four said: “I can’t say that I’m strong every day. I can’t say that there aren’t days when I feel like I can’t survive to the next. This pain is unimaginable [but] you just have to get up and push forward.”
“Lying in bed crying isn’t going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again. But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do.”
She added: “I guess the best way to describe it is that Kobe and Gigi motivate me to keep going. They inspire me to try harder and be better every day. Their love is unconditional and they motivate me in so many different ways.”
“My girls help me smile through the pain. They give me strength.”
