Vanessa Bryant Denies Imaginary Pregnancy Rumors at US Open

Vanessa Bryant has publicly dismissed persistent and baseless pregnancy rumors that resurfaced over the summer, including false AI-generated images linking her to a pregnancy and a relationship with Celtics star Jaylen Brown. She addressed the speculation on social media multiple times, sharing a meme of Rihanna with the caption "Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer" and later posting a photo of herself enjoying the U.S. Open's signature cocktail, the Honey Deuce, while sarcastically inviting updates on the "imaginary pregnancy rumor" that has followed her for over two decades. Vanessa attended the U.S. Open finals with her daughters, presenting a joyful and united family front, and continues to firmly shut down the rumors with humor and grace. Despite the ongoing false reports, which have been fueled by social media and AI-generated content, Vanessa remains focused on her family and philanthropic efforts, maintaining a strong and composed presence in the public eye. Her response highlights the challenges she faces from relentless online speculation years after the tragic death of her husband, Kobe Bryant, and their daughter Gianna.
