nice pic- good to see a father with his children- ive been a big fan since his days at Lower Merion
and is just too bad that the one time he cheated, he got caught- what were the odds of that?

I don’t think there’s any reason to trash Kobe or his accuser. It’s really unnecessary.

Janelle and Tammie…thank you for your comments. If we continue to hold his past mistakes against him, we do a disservice to society as a whole. Everybody makes mistakes and should be allowed to grow and learn from them. He seems to be a very loving father and he and Vanessa appear to be very much in love in all the pictures I see. They have put it in the past and moved on. So should everyone else.

That said, that is such a cute picture. Kobe loves his girls. They are absolutely adorable. I wonder if they will try one more time for a boy? It would be nice to see a mini-Kobe running around with his sisters.

Kobe did what most other professional athletes have done and continue to do, not that it makes it ok. He just got caught with someone who wanted to cash in on it, both attention wise and monetarily.

To all of you who can’t get past Kobe’s past, can you still recall that Kobe’s accuser showed up to a medical exam with physical evidence that she had been with another man AFTER her encounter with Kobe? This exam occured the after the ALLEGED rape. How nasty. Can you also recall that she is an American Idol reject, who has a history of mental issues and even bragged about her encounter with Kobe to her friends?

If Vanessa forgives him then who are we to cast judgement upon him? Especially considering the fact that we’ve all made mistakes, lacked good judgement and done things we wouldn’t want to come to light.

Kudos to Kobe and Vanessa for displaying class and maturity and for maintaining a sense of dignity while raising to adorable and seemingly well behaved little girls (I was in attendance at a home game where they were present this year) and witnessed it personally. You two rock!

I think you people need to take your negative comments somewhere else. This site is for celebrities and their children..ONLY! Kobe seems like a very devoting and loving father and that’s all that really COUNTS!!

She is too cute! Kobe and Vanessa have some adorable girls!

I totally disagree with Valerie. Nobody except God should be judging Kobe. He made a mistake and he was EXTREMELY sorry for it. There are only two people that need to accept his apology and thats GOD and his Wife Vanessa. Gid forgives us for our sins and Vanessa forgave Kobe. Nobody elses opinion matters. Not only that…He was young and made a MISTAKE. We all make MISTAKES and to hold ONE MISTAKE against someone for a life time is wrong. U wouldnt want anyone to hold a mistake against you forever. Nobody is perfect including Kobe. Everyone needs to move on from that and your brother needs to be taught that EVERYONE makes mistakes and should be forgiven. At least Kobe manned up and admitted his wrong doing and he put his life back together. People need to learn to get past something that happened years ago and especially something that has nothing to do with them. I think Kobe showed he is HUMAN and made a huge mistake..now if he kept on doing it then I could see your point…..

Valerie and mmh I have to respectfully disagree. All is forgiven. Kobe was 23 at the time turning 24. He is now about to 30. Men in general are very immature especially famous ones. I think it’s wonderful to see him with his daughter. It would be ridiculous to think that he is the same man that he was at age 24 than 30. He and his family have come a long way. He has paid his dues. Much love to his beautiful little girl!

Valerie — I agree with you — I can’t ever NOT think about that incident either. Probably because my youngest brother was the hugest Kobe fan up until that point, but NOT since. I know lots of people who are in the public eye do stupid things but he really was a hero to lots of little kids. My little bro took all of his Kobe posters off of his wall. (And I could not have been more proud of him for doing that!!)

She looks like a mini Minnie-mouse !!!
