Saturday morning, Vanessa Bryant brought joy to many fans of her and her late husband, Kobe Bryant. She did so by posting a video of her daughter, Bianka, trying to open a gigantic Easter egg with a hammer. The initial attempts weren’t successful so Bryant had to grab the blunt instrument and help out her daughter.
The video was shorter in length, but it still entertained many fans for a number of reasons. Some couldn’t get enough of Capri’s gigantic smile as she watched her sister and mother attempt to break open the egg. Others loved the way that Bianka immediately asked if she could eat the chocolate once it was accessible. Although some had far different reactions on Saturday morning.

There is a belief that every parent is convinced that their children are the cutest on the planet. Whether or not they are biased is irrelevant. They have the affection for their brood, as well as pride. However, Bryant’s post on Instagram made some fans question their own children’s cuteness.

“everytime i see vanessa bryant post something i get so sad for her,” one fan wrote on Twitter after seeing the Easter video. Bryant’s video on Instagram may have been happier in tone, but some social media users were still saddened. The reason is that they constantly think about Kobe and Gianna dying in a helicopter crash. Seeing Bryant and her three daughters on social media just bring up those feelings of sorrow once again.
Aww, Capri’s big beautiful smile in Vanessa Bryant’s video 🥺😢😭… they are so precious!

One of the most attention-grabbing aspects of Bryant’s video was that Capri had a massive smile on her face. She is only 9 months old and did not entirely grasp the concept of eating chocolate eggs on Easter. However, she was still just incredibly happy sitting next to Bianka while watching the egg get cracked open.
Vanessa Bryant amazes me, man. Even just seeing her on social media. She faced TWO of the greatest losses you could face and still is out here holding it down for her family. I know she has wealth but damn, I don’t even know how she gets up every day
