In a post on Instagram on Thursday, April 18, Vanessa, 41, shared a collage of four throwback pictures of her and Kobe enjoying a date night.

"Happy Anniversary @kobebryant ❤️ #23," Vanessa wrote in the caption.

She shared the post to Instagram Stories as well, adding a gif of a wedding ring and the song "Anniversary" by Tony! Toni! Toné!

Kobe and Vanessa first met on the set of a music video in 1999, when Kobe was 20 and Vanessa was 17.

Shortly after their first date, which took place at Disneyland, they fell in love. The basketball star proposed to Vanessa after she turned 18, and the pair tied the knot on April 18, 2001.

The anniversary of Kobe and Vanessa's wedding comes after Vanessa and her sister, Sophie Gonzalez, took Natalia, 21, Bianka Belle, 7, and Capri Kobe, 4½, to Disneyland, the site of her first date with Kobe, on Easter.

Vanessa shared an Instagram carousel of the Bryant family at the “Happiest Place on Earth" as the family posed in front of the castle and met Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

In February, Vanessa helped the Los Angeles Lakers unveil the first of three Kobe statues outside of the Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center).

"Kobe has so many people that have supported him all over the world from the very beginning and this moment isn't just for Kobe, but it's for all of you that have been rooting for him all of these years," Vanessa said during her speech at the unveiling.

She confirmed that two more statues will be built in front of Crypto.com Arena. The first is one showing him wearing the No. 8 and another will feature Bryant with their late daughter Gianna.

Bryant is the seventh Laker to receive such an honor — joining the likes of Elgin Baylor, Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Jerry West and Chick Hearn — who have all had statues erected outside of the arena.
