    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">August 03, 2007. A few months ago MediaTakeOut.com reported that Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa were facing marital problems. Well it now looks like a divorce is imminent.

    We spoke with a person extremely close to Kobe Bryant, who claims that the 28 year old ball player is ready to put an end to his 6 year marriage. The insider tells MediaTakeOut.com, "They've been trying [to make things better] now for more than a year, but it's just not working out ... Kobe's in the process of moving out [of their home] and both are ready to officially end things."

    But if you're expecting fireworks in the divorce battle - you might be disappointed. According to our inside source, Kobe and Vanessa will likely settle everything quietly. Our insider explains, "There's very little for [Kobe and Vanessa] to fight over. Since there was no pre-nuptial agreement, Vanessa's entitled to half the marital assets ... Besides, Kobe stands to make a lot more money in the years to come - and that will be all his."

    During his professional career, Bryant is estimated to have drawn in close to $200M in earnings. And the superstar's future earnings look even brighter. The Lakers currently owe him $88.6 million in salary over the next four seasons. And he has a number of very lucrative endorsement deals - including one with $18M left on it from Nike.</div>

    Wasn't Vanessa one of the main factors that kept him in LA? If this rumor is true, it would only mean that he is getting ready to be traded.

    Kobe dont!!!!!!! its cheaper to keep her!!!!!!!!! LOL!
    I dont get these women who marry BBAll players. these guys are gonna cheat on you. they are off on the road half of the season with groupies just throwing themselves at them. Plus they have been doing this since the 8th grade, its a part of their lifestyle. An NBA wife can only exspect the poon levels to drop after retirement. then maybe he can be faithful. LOL!

    Lol getting divorced isn't going to financially hurt Kobe. The article also stated that the future money he makes is his, and only his.

    If this is true, it's sad to see that things didn't work out.

    Exactly! A few years ago, I would've tapped it hardcore. Now, she's pretty hideous.

    Youngins. lol. Women don't look 21 after giving birth to a few kids. THOSE real men will stick to by their women even after they give birth and as MAMBA calls it, "look hideous".

    Im a fan of REAL men who stick to their guns and commitments. I hope everything turns out okay in the Bryant household.

    Vanity aside, at least Kobe doesn't have to feel as guilty about cheating on Vanessa anymore, and Vanessa can find a man that is more committed.

    Look at what I found out about her on Wikipedia:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In November 2004, Vanessa accused Kobe's ex-teammate Karl Malone of flirting and making passes at her. Kobe even confronted him but Malone denied the accusations.</div>

    That is very old news. There was a spat between Kobe and Karl after that.

    I want to see a more credible website report this rumor, first.

    She is still good looking. But, after she has been with Kobe, maybe not.

    I've seen some very attractive women after birth, Vanessa isn't one of them. She's beat.
