Natalia Bryant recently opened up about the earth-shattering loss of her father, Kobe Bryant, and younger sister Gianna in her first major magazine profile.
In addition to posing for the September cover of Teen Vogue, the 18-year-old discussed her family, Southern California upbringing and aspirations after signing a modeling contract with talent agency IMG earlier this year.
“I love talking about my dad,” Natalia Bryant said in an interview published Thursday. “It’s bittersweet, but I enjoy talking about him more than it’s sad for me.”
About a month before 41-year-old Kobe and 13-year-old Gianna died in a Calabasas, Calif., helicopter crash, Natalia went to a midnight screening of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” with her father.
