Pau Gasol celebrated his 6th anniversary with wife Catherine on July 7. He posted the sweetest message and photo for her on his social media.

The former two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and NBA Hall of Famer got married in 2019 in San Francisco, and then had another ceremony back in his home country of Spain later that month.

Pau and his wife have three children together:  Elisabet Gianna (named after Gigi Bryant), Max, and Arianna. 

Speaking of the Bryants, the Gasols have remained close with his former teammate Kobe’s family following his and Gigi’s tragic deaths in 2020. We’ve seen adorable photos with Vanessa Bryant and daughter Natalia in matching ski fits on a trip with them, and the kids all together. The Gasols have also been there for Vanessa and her family during hard times like sending Kobe’s widow a touching gift on his and her wedding anniversary.

After celebrating his 45th birthday on July 6 where Vanessa sent her “hermano” a heartfelt message along with Natalia’s post for her “uncle,” the day after was his anniversary where Cat posted a memory of their wedding day.
