Miscarriage, Kobe also regrets it.
“At the time, we were expecting our second child, but that incident put so much stress on Vanessa that it ended up causing her to miscarry.”
“It’s hard for me to accept this fact, because I think it’s my fault,” Bryant continued.
“At that time, it was very difficult for us to accept this tragedy. I couldn’t avoid it. All of this happened because of me, so I had to face such a thing. I will never forget this event in my life.”
In addition, Kobe also praised his wife Vanessa, because Vanessa could have left with half of Kobe’s property, but she did not do so.
