The Bryant family caused a stir at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. With three girls by her side, mother Vanessa attended several major competitions, including two basketball games, breaking, and the women’s soccer gold medal match between Brazil and the USA. First, on Friday, the foursome wore red, white, and blue casualwear to the breaking competition at Place de la Concorde.
Then, they headed over to Team USA’s faceoff against Australia’s women’s basketball team.
On Saturday, August 10, Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri supported the women’s soccer team. (Team USA defeated Brazil to win gold for the first time in 12 years.) At Parc des Princes, Vanessa, 42, wore all white as she held Capri’s hand and took in the panoramic game views. Capri, 5, sat between Bianka, 7, and Natalia, 21, who wore a simple white Ralph Lauren polo shirt and jeans.
On Sunday, August 11, the Bryant family sat courtside at Bercy Arena. Day 16 of the Summer Olympics became one of the most exciting. Team USA beat Team France, earning the gold medal by a narrow victory of 67-66. It felt right that Kobe’s family would witness the women’s basketball team’s eighth consecutive gold medal.
After securing the victory, Sabrina Ionescu of the WNBA’s New York Liberty ran over to hug Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. The moment was especially sweet because Kobe had mentored the guard before the helicopter crash that took his and Gianna’s lives. During the medal ceremony, Natalia Bryant took to her Instagram stories. She shared a photo of Ionescu with a gold medal around her neck, captioning it, “We love you, @sabrina_i!!!!!!“
At 26, Ionescu is five years older than Natalia, who turned 21 on January 19, 2024. As Natalia explores adulthood in her twenties, she’s modeled for luxury fashion houses and brands, like Beyoncé’s Ivy Park. The 5-foot-9 young woman has “always been interested in fashion since a very young age,” reports People. In 2021, Natalia turned 18 and signed with IMG Models. She made her runway debut two years later at the Versace show for Milan Fashion Week.
Now, Natalia is in her third year at the University of Southern California and rooming with Euphoria actor Storm Reid. As a film student, Natalia hopes to direct movies sharing women’s perspectives. The music lover also interned for Beyoncé during her Renaissance World Tour. Natalia worked for Parkwood Entertainment, the Grammy award winner’s record label and management company.
