Vanessa Bryant has had enough of the rumors about her pregnancy and her younger boyfriend.

She shared a picture of Rihanna meme relaxing in a pool with a drink in one hand and making a hand sign with the other.
The meme stated, “Not pregnant and having fun all summer” to clear up the rumors.
People were saying they wouldn’t believe anything unless Pau Gasol said it himself, but Vanessa’s post shows she’s just enjoying her life and doesn’t care about the gossip.

After rumors began circulating online about Vanessa Bryant possibly being pregnant, some fans of the late Kobe Bryant were quick to criticize her, accusing her of seeking attention.
The false claims also suggested that even though it’s been five years since Kobe’s tragic passing, some people still feel it’s too soon for Vanessa to move on with her life.
As the gossip spread, online comments became invasive, with people inquiring about the father’s identity.
Some speculated it could be family friend Pau Gasol, while others began claiming she might be dating a younger, unnamed man.
None of these rumors have been confirmed, and Vanessa has already responded in her way, making it clear she’s not pregnant and unbothered by the drama.
