Vanessa Bryant is being plagued by pregnancy rumors again.
The latest viral claim circulating on social media suggests that Kobe Bryant’s widow is expecting a baby with a new boyfriend.
However, a source close to the former NBA star’s widow has confirmed that the rumor is completely false.
Vanessa, 43, is not pregnant and doesn’t even have a long-term boyfriend, an insider confirmed to “Us Weekly.”
The pregnancy claims stemmed from a viral post on X.
“Kobe Bryant died in January 2020 6 years after his death, his wife has moved on with another man , & she’s reportedly pregnant for the man If you think your wife truly loves you, then you’re nothing but a fool . Women are not in love, they are in business. & quick to move on,” the post read.
As of this writing, it has 7.5 million views and thousands of likes and comments.

Fans say they want to see Vanessa Bryant ‘be happy and move on’
The viral post quickly sparked a wave of reactions, with many users voicing support for Vanessa as she moves forward.
“Six years is quite a long time. she’s allowed to be happy.,” one X user commented.
“This is a terrible take. Women deserve to be happy and move on. That’s probably what Kobe wanted,” a second said.
“What is she supposed to be lonely her entire life?” another added.
Vanessa’s main focus has been on raising daughters – Natalia, 23, Bianka, 9, and Capri, 6 – ever since Kobe, 41, was killed in a helicopter crash in California, along with her second-oldest daughter Gianna, 13, in January 2020. She hasn’t publicly dated anyone since the Los Angeles Laker star’s passing.
Last year, Kobe’s widow was targeted by a similar rumor claiming she was pregnant with her fifth child.
That one clearly frustrated her, as she shared a meme of Rihanna flipping off a camera with the caption, “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”
