Los Angeles, June 14, 2025 — Love is in the air for Natalia Bryant, daughter of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, as she prepares to walk down the aisle with her long-time boyfriend, Julian Carter, a rising film director known for his artistic indie projects in Los Angeles.
According to close family sources, the couple has been engaged for several months in secret, choosing to keep their relationship low-key and far from the flashy spotlight. But now, plans for an intimate summer wedding have surfaced — and fans around the world are thrilled.
Vanessa Bryant, proud mother of the bride-to-be, is said to be “deeply emotional and overjoyed,” describing Julian as “a calm, respectful soul” and someone Kobe “would’ve been proud to welcome into the family.”
The proposal reportedly happened during a private trip to Positano, Italy, where Julian surprised Natalia with a custom-designed ring that included an inscription: “For every version of you, I say yes.”
While the wedding date remains under wraps, insiders confirm it will be a romantic beach ceremony in Southern California, with just family, close friends, and a few select celebrity guests — including Sabrina Ionescu, Pau Gasol, and Zendaya.
Natalia, who has been balancing modeling with her studies at USC, has always valued her privacy. “She grew up in the shadow of fame, but she stayed grounded,” says a family friend. “Now, she’s stepping into her own light — on her own terms.”
Social media went into a frenzy after the couple was spotted at a bridal boutique in Beverly Hills last weekend. Fans are already speculating about the designer of Natalia’s dress — with whispers pointing toward Vera Wang or Zuhair Murad.
For many, this wedding symbolizes more than just love — it’s a new chapter of healing, joy, and legacy for the Bryant family.
Stay tuned — because this love story is only just beginning.
