Social media is buzzing once again with a new wave of rumours surrounding Vanessa Bryant—and this time, it's not about a pregnancy. A series of recent online posts have linked the late Kobe Bryant's widow to NBA star Jaylen Brown, raising eyebrows across platforms. But is there actually anything going on, or is this just another baseless online frenzy?
Viral collages stir up Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown dating rumours
In the past few days, fan accounts and gossip pages have flooded social media, including Facebook, X, and TikTok, with side-by-side images of Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown. So far, neither Vanessa nor Brown has said a word about the chatter, and no outlet has confirmed any relationship between them.
This isn't the first time Vanessa's love life has become internet fodder. Earlier this year, anonymous posts claimed she was seeing a 27-year-old NBA player, though no name was ever attached. Because Brown, now 28, fits that general description, many fans have retrofitted the rumour to him.

Just like the pregnancy rumour, this may be fake too
Not long ago, Vanessa had to deal with another false narrative: a rumour that she was expecting a child. The speculation started after a photo of her, which shows she has seemingly gained some weight, circulated online. It didn't take long for clickbait pages to claim she looked 'pregnancy glowing.' The rumour gained enough traction that Vanessa stepped in herself and shut it down — but in her own sassy way.
Taking to her Instagram Stories last week, she posted a gif of Rihanna lounging in a pool, drink in hand, casually flipping off the camera. Along with the clip, Vanessa wrote, 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.' She followed it up with another meme featuring Rihanna, this one reading, 'I'm not mean, I'm just not the one.' With just a couple of posts, Vanessa made it known that the rumours were false—and that she wasn't in the mood to entertain any more of them.
No confirmation, just speculation
To be clear, there's no official confirmation or solid evidence that Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown are dating. They haven't been seen together in any intimate setting, and neither has posted anything that would suggest a romantic connection. Fans may be speculating based on minimal context, but without a statement or solid proof, it's all hearsay.
Vanessa has remained extremely private about her personal life, especially following the tragic loss of Kobe and their daughter Gianna in 2020. She's focused on her family, philanthropic work, and keeping her late husband's legacy alive. Jaylen Brown, while a public figure on the court, is known to keep his personal matters relatively low-key as well.
