Love life and boyfriend
Natalia’s highly secretive when it comes to sharing details of her love life with her fans, and hasn’t spoken of any boys (or girls) whom she’s perhaps been with. This is mostly why there are today various rumors circulating the internet, concerning both her sexual orientation and past and present affairs.

Some of Natalia’s fans believe her to be a lesbian, claiming that this is why she hasn’t mentioned any of the boys whom she’s perhaps dated; it’s also been pointed out that she can often be seen spending time with her female friends, but not with boys, however, Natalia’s yet to address these rumors.

Who was her father Kobe?
Kobe was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, on 23 August 1978 – his zodiac sign was Virgo, and he held American nationality. He spent the entirety of his career as a professional basketball player with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and is regarded as one of the best basketball shooting guards of all time.
Kobe was raised in Philadelphia alongside his older sisters Shaya and Sharia, by their father Joe Bryant who’s a former professional basketball player, and mother Pamela Cox Bryant who’s a housewife. He was only three when he began playing basketball, and grew up being a huge fan of the Lakers; the family moved to Rieti, Italy when Kobe was six, after his father retired from basketball. Kobe continued playing the sport there, became fluent in Italian, and also began playing soccer, cheering for A.C. Milan. The family moved back to Philadelphia when he was 13, and he then studied at Bala Cynwyd Middle School.
He began attracting attention upon enrolling at Lower Merion High School, and although he excelled both academically and at basketball, he still chose not to enroll at college upon matriculating in 1996, but to make himself eligible for the NBA draft; he signed a three-year rookie contract with the Lakers worth $3.5 million.
He had little playing time during his first season, however, he became the youngest NBA All-Star starter during his second year, and then following his third season signed a six-year contract with the Lakers worth $70 million; they went on to win the NBA Championship in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Kobe played with the Lakers until 13 April 2016, when he retired; during his 20 years with them, he won five NBA Championships, was an NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) twice, NBA Most Valuable Player once (2008), was named to the All-Star team 18 times, and to the All-NBA Team 15 times.
Kobe met Natalia’s mother Vanessa in November 1999, when he was 21 and she 17 years old; they became engaged after six months of dating, and married at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church on 18 April 2001. Kobe’s parents didn’t attend the wedding, because they were dissatisfied that Vanessa wasn’t African-American; Kobe then spent two years estranged from them, which ended when Vanessa gave birth to their first daughter – Natalia; their second daughter Gianna Maria-Onore was born in May 2006.
Vanessa filed for divorce on 16 December 2011, but the two reconciled, and she gave birth to their third daughter Bianka in December 2016, while their fourth daughter Capri followed in June 2019.
Kobe was also a rapper and an actor: he was to release his debut album “Visions” in 2000, but was dropped from his label before it could happen. Some of the most popular movies and TV series in which Kobe appeared were the 1997 teen sitcom “Hang Time”, the 2000 sitcom “Bette”, and the 2015 comedy movie “Daddy’s Home”; for his 2017 short animated movie “Dear Basketball”, which he wrote and narrated, he won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
