More Details Emerge About Kobe Bryant's Divorce

By Michael Lopez

Basketball fans got quite a shock over the weekend after it was announced that Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa were splitting after 10 years of "wedded bliss." Though they looked like a happy couple, it seems his cheating ways may have been the downfall of the marriage.

Interestingly, Vanessa (who is part Latina) stuck with Kobe after his 2003 sexual assault charge, where he admitted to being unfaithful. But, according to TMZ, there had been multiple women since then and this month she decided she'd had enough.

The site's latest claim is that the wives of Bryant's Laker teammates leaked the cheating stories to Vanessa. Regardless, the divorce papers have now been filed, which means she'll be in for a MAJOR payday.

Sources claim that the Bryants did not have a prenuptial agreement, giving Vanessa control of half of Kobe's massive fortune. She is reportedly asking for joint custody of their two daughters and may be getting dibs on their Newport Beach mansion.

Do you think Vanessa deserves half of Kobe's money? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
