Despite shutting down the pregnancy rumors once and for all back in June, the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, has once again found herself entangled in the same internet chatter. But this time, people online are convinced that she is expecting a child with none other than the 28-year-old Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, whom Vanessa was first linked to last year.

Now, the chatter is back even louder after new photos allegedly showing Black Mamba’s widow with Celtics star Jaylen brown. The pictures, said to be from a private LA dinner, appear to show Brown with his arm around Vanessa’s waist. But despite the frenzy, there is no credible evidence behind the claims as neither Vanessa nor Brown has commented on the matter. The original source of the photos remains a mystery. In fact, people online have already flagged odd inconsistencies in the images, suggesting they may have been AI-generated.
Vanessa Bryant Shoots Down Pregnancy Rumors With Savage Rihanna Meme
Back in June, Vanessa shut down the pregnancy rumor in the most savage way possible, with memes. She took to Instagram and posted a hilarious Rihanna clip showing the singer in a pool with a drink in her hand, and flipping the camera, alongside the caption that read, “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”
Doubling down, she posted a second Rihanna meme that read, “I’m not mean; I’m just not the one,” putting an end to the internet chatter with absolute clarity.
Are Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown Dating?
The rumor of Vanessa Bryant dating Jaylen Brown is nothing but online gossip with no truth at all. It began after image collages of the two went viral on Facebook, X, and TikTok. Neither Vanessa nor Brown has addressed them, and no credible outlets have confirmed any romantic connection between the two.
In fact, Vanessa does not seem to have time for any romantic entanglements as she has been busy with family, legacy, and giving back to the community. Jaylen, on the other hand, is not currently in a public relationship since his breakup with WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick in February 2025. The two had confirmed their relationship at the 2024 EPSY Awards and were seen together until their split before the NBA season.
