Instagram
On Valentine's Day, the void created by Kobe Bryant's death was definitely felt by his widow Vanessa.
She posted a pic of Kobe kissing her on the cheek, writing on Instagram, “To my forever Valentine, I love you so much. Missing you so much on your favorite holiday. Te amo per sempre. Kisses to you and Gigi in heaven. Happy Valentine's Day, my babies. With all my love, your boo-boo. ❤️.”
Her post also featured Lauryn Hill's song “Tell Him.” The pair were fans of Hill, even attending one of her concerts in 2018 in Hollywood.
At the time, Kobe wrote on Instagram, “@vanessabryant surprised me with a date night to see my sister Lauryn Hill at The Hollywood Bowl. Loved catching up with her. My wife is winning the battle of best date night ideas.. FOR NOW."
