Kobe Bryant would’ve turned 43 on Monday August 23. His widow Vanessa Bryant, 39, wrote the Los Angeles Lakers star a beautiful message in Spanish on her Instagram to commemorate his birthday.

She included a photo of the pair kissing with the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy, after Kobe won his first NBA championship with Lakers back in 2000.

Underneath the photo, Vanessa wrote her late husband the birthday message. “Happy birthday, Papi. I love you forever. Eternal love,” the message said in Spanish.

She included a heart and a broken heart emoji, along with the age Kobe would’ve been this year. It’s been over a year and a half since Kobe tragically died on January 26, 2020 in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna “Gigi”
