With the song “Happy Birthday” by Stevie Wonder playing in the background, we see so many photos of Natalia growing up, starting with touching photos of her being a small, fashionable tot to hanging with her late father Kobe Bryant and late sister Gianna Bryant. Then, as the video goes on, we get a bunch of pics of Natalia thriving in her modeling career, from red-carpet events to magazine spreads.

Vanessa and her late husband Kobe previously welcomed four beautiful daughters named Natalia, Gianna, Bianka Bryant, and Capri Bryant. Tragically, Kobe and Gianna passed away suddenly on Jan. 26, 2020, after a helicopter crash that shocked the nation.

In the rare interview with Elle, she talked about how her younger sisters and her mom “are amazing.” She said, “My family is my rock. My mom and my sisters are amazing, and I can always lean on them for support. I also have amazing friends and mentors that I love who I know I can count on.”

Happy belated birthday Natalia!
