NBA legend Kobe Bryant turned 38 on Tuesday in the sweetest way possible, as his wife of 15 years, Vanessa, took to Instagram to celebrate the occasion.

"Happy 38th birthday, baby!" Vanessa wrote. "We love you so much. Here's to many more healthy and happy years! XO With Love, V, Nani, Gigi and [baby emoji with a pink bow]!"

Last month, Vanessa announced that she was pregnant with the couple's third baby girl after daughters, Natalia, 13, and Gianna, 10.

The pregnancy news came just three months after Kobe played the final game of his 20-year career as a Los Angeles Laker, when he led the team to a 101-96 win over the Utah Jazz.
