Vanessa Bryant Celebrates Daughter Capri’s 6th Birthday with Heartfelt Tribute: “My Sweet Koko Bean”
In a touching celebration filled with love and cherished memories, Vanessa Bryant marked her daughter Capri Kobe Bryant’s 6th birthday with a moving tribute on social media that had fans both smiling and emotional. Affectionately known as “Koko Bean,” Capri received an outpouring of love from her mother in a post that was as radiant as the little girl herself.
Taking to Instagram on June 20, Vanessa shared a series of adorable photos and videos of Capri showcasing her bright personality, signature smile, and undeniable resemblance to her late father, NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
> “Happy 6th Birthday, my sweet Koko Bean! We love you so much baby girl,” Vanessa captioned the post. “You bring so much sunshine, sass, and sweetness into our lives. Daddy would be so proud of you.”
The tribute was both a celebration and a heartfelt remembrance. Vanessa’s use of “Koko Bean” mirrors Kobe’s nickname, “Black Mamba,” and her own sweet twist on “Kobe Bean,” a touching nod to his enduring legacy in their family.
Capri, the youngest of the Bryant children, was only a few months old when her father and sister Gianna “Gigi” Bryant tragically passed away in 2020. Since then, Vanessa has made it a mission to honor their memories while nurturing a joyful and resilient home for her daughters.
The birthday post quickly drew attention from friends, fans, and celebrities alike, many of whom flooded the comments with birthday wishes, heart emojis, and messages of admiration for Vanessa’s strength and grace.
> “Koko is growing up so fast! What a beautiful tribute,” one fan wrote. “Kobe is smiling down on his baby girl.”
As Capri turns six, it’s clear that her spirit continues to shine brightly, lighting up the lives of those around her. With her mother’s unshakeable love and her father’s legacy etched in every moment, Koko Bean’s future is as bright as her birthday smile.
