Is vanessa bryant kobe bryants wife or daughter?”
Vanessa Laine-Bryant (born Vanessa Cornejo Ubrieta on May 5, 1982) is the wife of NBA star Kobe Bryant. Vanessa was born in California to Mexican parents who divorced when Vanessa was just a baby, after which her father moved to Baja, Mexico. Her mother Sofia Ubrieta raised her daughters alone until 1990, when she married Stephen Laine. In high school Vanessa legally changed her family name from her father’s surname, Cornejo, to Laine even though Stephen Laine never adopted her. Vanessa later started working at the Westminster Mall in a clothing store. The Laines lived in Anaheim and Temecula before moving to Garden Grove, where they bought a four-bedroom house. Vanessa graduated from St. Boniface parochial school in 1996, and Laine used his father’s Huntington Beach address to get Vanessa into his alma mater, Marina High School. Vanessa wanted to attend Marina High School to be with her stepfather’s nieces, because she was very close to them. Vanessa met Kobe Bryant in November 1999,
