"The Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012," the statement reads. "We ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season the public respect our privacy during this difficult time."
In the divorce papers, Vanessa requested joint custody of the couple's two daughters, 8-year-old Natalia and 5-year-old Giana. According to gossip site TMZ's anonymous sources, the couple didn't have a pre-nuptial agreement, which means this will likely be an expensive split for Kobe, who is worth an estimated $150 million or more.
The Los Angeles Laker and his wife famously survived a cheating scandal back in 2003 when Bryant was accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old resort employee in Colorado. Kobe maintained the tryst was consensual, and gave a press conference admitting his dalliance. "I sit here in front of you guys, furious at myself, disgusted at myself for making the mistake of adultery," he said in July, 2003. "And I love my wife with all my heart."
The criminal case was later dropped after the resort employee decided not to testify, and a civil case was settled out of court.
