<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kobe24girl:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't believe that Kobe's dad disowned him or whatever because she was a Latino. I mean c'mon he had kobe grow up in Italy and had him learn like 4 or 5 languages, I doubt that he's prejudice towards another race. But I bet Kobe not having a pre-nup was the reason. But whatever it's all over with Kobe and his wife are moving on with their second child and I attended the L.A. Sparks game where Kobe and his daughter greeted Joe "Jellybean" on the court, after the game"</div> It was actually because she was Latino. Joe wanted Kobe to marry within his race, it was a pride issue. Some people of races get like that. Some whites want their children to marry whites, black with blacks, asians with asian, etc. Jellybean didn't approve of Vanessa because she was a Latina. They have since patched things up. I believe they patched it up around the rape trial.

I'm very surprised to hear that but yeah I'm glad to see that they have patched things up like I said I saw them at the sparks game and they looked very happy & comfortable talking with one another. But of course the media won't tell you things like that!!
