Kobe Bryant, himself, had some ties with USC. Though the 5-time NBA champion went straight into the pros from high school, he apparently has made USC “his school.” The Black Mamba has been seen making several visits to the campus. He also watched Trojans games at times and even offered his words at some classes at USC. With this heartwarming news, it just feels right that Natalia will be going around the campus as an official student.

It seems like the Bryants have been doing quite well as of late. Obviously, the pain of losing Kobe as well as Gianna from last year's tragic helicopter crash will continue to linger. Nonetheless, Natalia getting into USC should be a major cause for celebration and smiles as she embarks on this new chapter of her life.

Vanessa still obviously misses her beloved husband and daughter. Recently, she commemorated Gigi with a heartwarming “Mambacita” tattoo she inked on her arm.
