Vanessa Bryant has a great support system around her that has helped her deal with the tragic loss of her husband Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gigi Bryant. One of those is her bestie and famous singer Monica, who she just posed with in Los Angeles.

The 43-year-old widow Vanessa has kept Kobe’s memory alive through his three surviving daughters Natalia, 22, Bianka 8, and Capri, 6, as well as his businesses and charitable organizations. The family was even just honored at a Los Angeles Dodgers game for Kobe Bryant Bobblehead Night where Bianka crushed her first pitch and then they all posed for photos on the field.

Also there and sitting beside Vanessa was the 44-year-old Monica Denise Arnold. Monica would share the photos of herself and then them together on her Instagram (scroll through).
