A Valentine's Day miracle?

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 86-78 at the Staples Center on Tuesday -- but the really heartwarming moment came right after the game, when player Kobe Bryant was photographed kissing estranged wife Vanessa.

PHOTOS: Are these couples better together?

Vanessa, 29, filed for divorce from Kobe, 33, last December, citing irreconcilable differences. The high school sweethearts married over 10 years ago and share daughters Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5.

Their marriage was famously put to the test back in 2003, when the basketball superstar was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel employee in Colorado. Although the charges were later dropped, Bryant purchased Vanessa a $4 million purple diamond ring as an apology.

    Good! They have 2 children, they should try to work it out if possible...these people are MARRIED not dating...people give up on marriage WAY to easy nowadays. She's not scared to leave him, she's gorgeous and has tons of his money to live on so she must still care to try and make her family work!!! In terms of the "cheating" you guys only know what you read so who's to say how true it is or not??!!

    Goodness gracious, people! Only those two know what goes on inside their relationship. Who are we to judge? All we know is what the media tells us.

    So why did they break up? Just to get back together?

    When you married you take the good with the bad. In the vos it does say for better for worst. By far I don't think she's hungry for money. You barely see her out in the spot light. I believe there is true love between them - however there's a lot of temptation out there that he has to fight. I'm speaking a Mother and a once married women. My ex-husband never cheated but he put me through the ring of fire and I fought for our marriage until I couldn't fight any more. Everyone has their braking points. Maybe she hasn't hit her's and for Koby hopefully he won't take her there

    They are not high school sweethearts. They met after Kobe had already won his first championship. She was still in high school but was on a rapper's video set as a groupie and Kobe noticed her. Money hungry chick to the fullest. Sorry.

    I like them together...

    tresa, you think she's a money hungry sports wife? they were high school sweethearts and HE cheated on her. sounds like she was with him before he was rich and famous.

    heart warming? Huh, a money grubber and a rapist..role models for society!! NOT...she has not an ounce of self-respect.

    That's one way not to have to give away half of all your money. Just reconcile. He's a cheating scumbag and she's a money hungry sports wife who will stay with him for the fame and money.

    Sun, after how many affairs and public humiliations should she divorce?

  • February 15, 2012 - 5:50pm Sun Lee

    For the sake of their children, yes, they should reconcile (spoken as a parent, and as a child of divorced parents).
