To commemorate that day, Kobe took Vanessa back to Disneyland in 2019, and you can bet that he showed her a great time.

“On this day 20 years ago I met my best friend, my Queen @vanessabryant,” Kobe wrote on Instagram in November 2019. “I decided to take her on a date to Disneyland tonight to celebrate old school style (pre 4princesses) I love you my Mamacita per sempre.”
