She signed the message: "Kobe & Vanessa."

Kobe similarly took to his Facebook page to announce the happy reconciliation news.

"I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family," he wrote Friday evening. "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!"

The couple have two young daughters together, Natalia, 9, and Gianna, 6.

Vanessa, 30, initially filed for divorce from her 34-year-old basketball beau back in December 2011 after 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

In December, however, the pair was spotted together at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden, and then again on New Year's Eve. They have been inseparable ever since.
