Alongside WNBA legend Candace Parker, seven-year-old Bianka Bryant is proving that she has unquestionably inherited her father, the late NBA legend, Kobe Bryant’s, athleticism on the court.
Since her retirement, in April of this year, the 38-year-old has been keeping busy in her new role as coach. The mother-of-two shared a training session earlier this week of one of her star pupils on the court.
The NBA basketball analyst shared photos of Bianka’s session in her Instagram stories, writing, “Look at the wrist loaded under the ball…. On her toes… Basketball in her blood! #MiniMamba Aunty Candace is so proud of you BB and you too COACH @Vanessa Bryant.”
In addition to all that she has on her plate, Parker and her wife, Anna Petrakova, recently became a family of five with the birth of their son, Hartt Summitt Petrakov Parker, on May 21, 2024.
The proud mothers shared a joint carousel post on Instagram, featuring images by April Belle Photos.
“Hartt Summitt Petrakov Parker. May 21, 2024 Our Starting lineup is complete. We are so in love and grateful for our little brother. Zone defense is ummm interesting, but we are managing. Goose is ummm adjusting, but he’s doing better with his role as a vet. (Mama is a rockstar and we love her soooo much) Thank you @aprilbellephotos for always capturing our fam!”
In addition to their new bundle of joy, Parker and Petrakova also share two-year-old son, Airr Larry. Parker is also mother to 14-year-old daughter, Lailaa, with whom she shares with ex-Shelden Williams.
Bianka Bryant is one of four girls that Vanessa Bryant shares with the late Los Angeles Lakers star, Kobe Bryant. Bianka’s sisters include: Natalia Bryant, (21), Capri Kobe Bryant, (4), and Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, who perished with her father in a tragic helicopter accident in January of 2020.
