Bryant's Wife Expecting First Child
Mon Sep 30, 8:23 PM ET
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) - Kobe Bryant, a three-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, is going to be a first-time father.
Bryant said Monday his wife, Vanessa, is expecting a daughter in February.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Bryant said, grinning.
Bryant said the couple is mulling names.
"We change our mind like every other day," he said. "We're just taking our time with it."
The couple married in April 2001.
Teammate Shaquille O'Neal, the unmarried father of five children,
has volunteered to be a godparent, but Bryant said he has family members who will fill that role.
"Experience is the best teacher," O'Neal said. "The only lesson it's probably going to teach him is the same lesson it taught me: Don't bring your stresses home. Because the kids see that, the wife sees that, so you have to leave the stresses of the job here."
