Vanessa Bryant is the godmother of the late Kobe Bryant’s former teammate Pau Gasol’s three-year-old daughter, Elisabet Gianna.
In images shared to Instagram Tuesday, the widow posed with her and Kobe’s three daughters — Natalia, 20, Bianka, six, and Capri, four — during Elisabet’s baptism in Barcelona, Spain this week.
Ahead of the ceremony, Vanessa — who recently celebrated Capri’s birthday —showed off her stunning all-white look that consisted of a caped dress and kitten heels.
Natalia, Bianka and Capri were also dressed head-to-toe in white and the family posed for a beautiful group photo inside of the church.
Elisabet’s middle name ‘Gianna’ is a tribute to Vanessa’s late daughter Gianna, who was just 13-years-old when she tragically died with her NBA legend father in a horrific helicopter crash in January 2020.

Vanessa included images of herself standing beside Elisabet, who was held by her mother throughout the baptism — which is the sacrament of admission to the church.
Pao stood closely beside him wife and child in a black suit and gray tie.
‘Eggie’s godmommy,’ captioned Vanessa, fondly using the nickname she calls her now-goddaughter Elisabet.
Elisabet is 42-year-old Gasol’s eldest child with wife Catherine McDonnell, 34.
The longtime couple welcomed a baby son in December 2022.
Kobe Bryant’s widow shared a total of four Instagram posts dedicated to the day with Gasol’s family.
She included photos of her and Natalia in the back of a car and shots of the cathedral the family event took place at.
Natalia looked all grown up as she towered over her mom and younger sisters in a high-necked, long-sleeved dress that fell to just above her knees.
She paired the chic but church appropriate look with a pair of classic white pumps.
Bianka and Capri wore sweet white dresses with white tights and Mary Jane style shoes.
In one comment, Cat Gasol, commented: ‘The most stunning and loving GM ever,’ while Lala Kent simply wrote: ‘Gorgeous.’
The next group of photos appeared to be from the celebration after the religious ceremony.
Vanessa and Natalia posed together on a balcony overlooking a canyon with the ocean in the distance.
In one photo they hugged while looking at the camera.
