Los Angeles, CA — In a twist that has stunned fans, sources close to Natalia Bryant have revealed that the daughter of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant has recently ended her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, just weeks after allegedly discovering she was pregnant.
While the 21-year-old model and USC student has not yet publicly confirmed the pregnancy, insiders say the couple had been facing tension even before the news surfaced. “The relationship was already under pressure,” one source told a fictional outlet. “But the pregnancy accelerated everything. They simply weren’t on the same page about the future.”
Friends close to the couple said Natalia, who has been focusing on her studies and building a career in fashion, was caught off guard by the news, but had hoped to find support from her partner. Instead, the news reportedly drove a wedge between them.
“He freaked out,” another anonymous source claimed. “He wasn’t ready to be a dad, and Natalia felt abandoned. She’s incredibly strong, but this has been really hard.”
Natalia has always maintained a relatively private life, despite her high-profile family. Since making her debut in the modeling world with IMG Models and appearing at numerous red-carpet events, she’s managed to stay grounded — often honoring the memory of her father and sister, Gianna, who tragically died in 2020.
Now, as rumors swirl online, fans have expressed both concern and support for Natalia. Hashtags like #StayStrongNatalia and #WeLoveYouNatalia have been trending on social media platforms since early Friday morning.
No official statement has been released by Natalia or her representatives, but those close to her say she’s surrounded by love — especially from her mother, Vanessa Bryant, who remains her strongest pillar.
“Vanessa is being a rock,” a family friend shared. “She’s gone through unimaginable loss, and now she’s making sure Natalia knows she’s not alone.”
As for the ex-boyfriend, he has remained silent and removed photos of the couple from his social media accounts. His identity is still being kept private by most outlets, out of respect for the sensitivity of the situation.
Whether Natalia will choose to speak publicly in the coming weeks is still unknown, but one thing is certain — she has inherited her father’s resilience.
