Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa Bryant, She filed for divorce in December last year, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’ But last night, it looked very much like Vanessa Bryant and her basketball playing husband Kobe could be getting back together when she was spotted supporting him at the LA Lakers game.

The glamorous 29-year-old star looked happy and relaxed sitting in the stands of the Staples Centre cheering the basketball superstar on to victory against the Atlanta Hawks.

They were later spotted sharing a kiss in the tunnel on the way to the locker room.

According to TMZ, the couple, who married back in April 2001, are working on a reconciliation.

The news comes despite recent news that the couple have sealed a property deal as part of their divorce settlement with Vanessa set to take their three Newport beach homes.

The newest property has been under construction for the past two years.

And despite Kobe and Vanessa submitting all the necessary documents, their divorce won’t become final until mid-June, according to the website.

Therefore there is still time to withdraw the papers.

However, despite last night’s show of affection, the couple are not back living together yet, TMZ reports.

When the news of the separation broke last year, TMZ also reported that the couple had no pre-nuptial agreement, and that Vanessa had requested spousal support.

Kobe and Vanessa have two daughters together – nine-year-old Natalia and Gianna, five.

Initial reports on the divorce settlement claimed that Vanessa would receive the sum of $75million, which is said to be close to half of the couple’s total assets.

Kobe Vanessa Bryant

Kobe Vanessa Bryant, Shaunie O’Neal has turned being an ex-wife (or former girlfriend) of an NBA player into a new career, and now that Vanessa Bryant is divorcing the uber famous Kobe Bryant that makes her a prime candidate for a certain VH1 show!

TMZ is reporting that the producers for Basketball Wives LA are hoping to score Vanessa for next season and sources reveal they are putting together an “extremely lucrative pitch for Vanessa,” in the hopes she’ll sell out her dignity for the chance to on-air tussle with the likes of Jackie Christie. According to insiders if Vanessa accepts the offer producers will be casting her in a lead role in the upcoming season!

Apparently producers would have never asked Vanessa to the join the cast while she was still married to Kobe, but now that she is a free agent, so to speak, the door is wide open for her to stir up some major drama on the already insane show.

Rumors of Vanessa’s rather interesting behavior have been circulating the net for years and I’m sure many of the basketball wives have had first-hand experience with the controversial Vanessa! “Vanessa has more than enough storyline and would bring the show to another level,” a source explains.

Especially considering the details of why Vanessa’s marriage to Kobe ended! Many believe Kobe’s affair with Kim Kardashian‘s close friend, Carla DiBello was the final straw that pushed Vanessa to file!

Another reason producers have waited so long to approach Vanessa is budget constraints. Before the show was a breakout hit for Vh1 the budget was very tight – which necessitated they hire desperate famewhores (ahem…Evelyn Lozada) and wives or girlfriends of less famous players. Now that the show is a hit, attracting a huge audience and branching out into different cities, they can attract women associated with big-name players!
