Vanessa and Natalia Bryant shared their love for the late Kobe Bryant on Father’s Day, celebrating him with loving photos.

The two Bryants took to Instagram to honor Kobe, with Vanessa uploading a photo of her husband with his four daughters and a very sweet caption. “To the best girl dad~ Happy Father’s Day, Papi,” she wrote. “We love you forever and always, always and forever. Love you always, Nani, Gigi, B.B, Koko and VB.” Meanwhile, Natalia shared an old photo of her and Kobe that sees them playing on a swing during her younger years. “Happy Father’s Day! I love you Dad,” she shared.

Earlier this month, Vanessa announced that the Kobe 6 Protro “Mambacita,” a pair that served as a tribute to her late daughter Gigi, was “NOT approved for sale.” She initially planned to send the proceeds from the sales to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, but ultimately decided on not selling the shoes after Kobe’s contract with Nike expired. “Nike has NOT sent any of these pairs to me and my girls. I do not know how someone else has their hands on shoes I designed in honor of my daughter Gigi and we don’t,” she wrote on Instagram.
