Eighteen-year-old Natalia Bryant is launching a career in modeling. The eldest daughter of Kobe Bryant recently signed with IMG Models. The company announced the news on Instagram.

“I have always been interested in fashion since a very young age. I have a love for the industry, and ever since I can remember, I wanted to model. There is a lot to learn, but I feel this is a great opportunity for me to learn and express myself creatively,” Natalia said in a statement.

“I am beyond thrilled and so honored to be a part of the IMG family!” Natalia wrote on her Instagram Stories.

Proud mom Vanessa Bryant also shared IMG’s post on her Instagram Stories. 

The widowed mother of four has asked a judge to amend her late husband’s trust so she can provide for their youngest daughter, Capri, who was born after the most recent version of his trust document was drafted and signed.

According to TMZ Sports, basketball legend Kobe Bryant created a trust to provide for Vanessa and his kids way back in 2003. The trust was amended several times, most recently in 2017. It seems every time one of their four children was born, they modified the trust to include them, but the trust had not yet been amended after their youngest daughter Capri was born.

Vanessa has now petitioned the court, asking a judge to include 9-month-old Capri, and explains it was obviously the intent of her late husband to provide for his children. He even said so generally in one on the documents.

According to the structure of the trust agreement, Vanessa, Natalia, and Bianka can draw from the principal and income in the trust during Vanessa’s lifetime. Then the children get the remainder upon Vanessa’s death; she wants to make sure that Capri is included in that distribution.
