Vannesa Bryant Shuts Down Pregnancy Rumors with Cheeky Messages to Rihanna

By | June 3, 2025

 

 

In a world where every Instagram post can spark wild speculation, Vannesa Bryant proved she’s got both wit and grace when it comes to shutting down the rumor mill. Over the weekend, the widow of basketball legend Kobe Bryant found herself at the center of pregnancy rumors after fans began to speculate following her appearance at a charity gala in Los Angeles.

 

Social media detectives, armed with nothing more than zoom lenses and assumptions, pointed to what they claimed was a “baby bump” peeking through her elegant red gown. The whispers quickly turned into headlines, with tabloids jumping on the “Is Vannesa Expecting?” bandwagon.

 

But Vannesa was having none of it.

 

In a perfectly timed move, she took to her Instagram Stories to post a screenshot of a message exchange with none other than Rihanna — herself a veteran of the public pregnancy watch. The two stars shared laughing emojis, with Rihanna cheekily writing, “They coming for you now, sis? Welcome to the club.”

 

Vannesa replied, “Guess I shouldn’t have had that second slice of cheesecake 🍰😂

 

The post went viral within hours, with fans applauding her humor and grace. One Twitter user wrote, “Vannesa Bryant shutting down pregnancy rumors with a text from Rihanna is ICON behavior.”

 

This isn’t the first time Vannesa has addressed public speculation with poise. Known for maintaining her privacy while engaging with fans respectfully, she continues to balance life in the spotlight with dignity and style.

 

Later in the week, a rep close to Vannesa confirmed that she is not expecting, calling the rumors “completely unfounded.”

 

As the buzz dies down, Vannesa’s message is clear: when it comes to a woman’s body, the only opinion that matters is hers — and maybe Rihanna’s, if she’s in the group chat.
