Watch: Vanessa Bryant Celebrates Daughter Natalia’s College Acceptance

The Bryant family has a reason to smile again. Natalia is celebrating her college acceptance and we bet Kobe would have been really proud of his girl. Vanessa Bryant celebrated the success of her daughter. Her baby grew up and she’s going to college.

Vanessa took to Instagram to share a video of the 18-year-old. Natalia was really happy for her acceptance to the University of Southern California.

“I got in!” she exclaimed while jumping joyously.

Vanessa Bryant is proud of her daughter

Proud Vanessa delivered an emotional message for her husband and Gianna.

“Tears of joy,” Vanessa wrote. “I’m SO happy for you Nani! I know daddy is so PROUD OF YOU. I am so PROUD OF YOU!! Your hard work and dedication was so worth it. You pushed through the most excruciating pain imaginable and you succeeded. I wish Daddy and Gigi were physically here to celebrate but I know they’re here in spirit. We love you so much! #USC #Trojan #FightOn

The Bryant family is going through a nightmare and their bad days won’t stop coming. Kobe and Gigi died in a helicopter crash last year. Life without these two is really hard, but Vanessa is trying to find enough strength to take care of her other girls. She has three beautiful daughters and they all need her to be strong.

Vanessa lives in LA with her daughters. Bianka is 4 and Capri is 21 months. Natalia has been accepted to other schools across the nation, but Vanessa really hopes she stays in California.

“So glad you got accepted but too far… j/k,” Vanessa said of her acceptance to Loyola Marymount.

“Yay! Closer to home,” she said after the 18-year-old was accepted to University of California, Irvine.

USC’s campus is in LA and Vanessa was more than excited about the good news.

We are sending our great wishes to the Bryant family. Those guys deserve to be happy. It was about time that something good happens to them. Natalia is going to a good college and she is entering an important phase of her life.
