14th Annual Warner Bros. And InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party – Arrivals

Kobe Bryant’s estranged wife, Vanessa Bryant, isn’t so estranged anymore. The two had separated and even arranged a divorce settlement, only the divorce was never finalized as the couple gave their marriage another try. Now their reunion is official as Vanessa has dropped her divorce petition.

Please stop insulting her via her Instagram page and just be happy for her.

More from TMZ:

But in the last month … they got very tight.  A turning point seemed to be the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, when the two left arm-in-arm.  They spent New Year’s Eve together, were spotted at lunch and have pretty much been inseparable.

There have been reports that Kobe is getting back with Vanessa because it’s cheaper to keep her … but that’s just not true.  Fact is … we’ve checked property records and Vanessa still owns 2 of the Newport Beach mansions — she just sold the third for $3.2 mil.  We don’t know for sure, but it seems like Kobe may have signed a post-nup, giving Vanessa more financial leverage in the relationship.

On their reunion, Kobe wrote via Facebook:

I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family. When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers! Much luv, Mamba out.
