Kobe Bryant, it seems, is soon to be a free agent.
The Los Angeles Lakers star's wife of 10 years, Vanessa, filed for divorce Friday in Orange County, Calif., a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Bryant, 33, and his soon-to-be ex-wife, 29, married in April 2001, when Bryant was just 22 and she 18. They have two daughters, Natalia Diamante Bryant, 8, and Gianna Maria-Onore, 5.
The couple released a statement to The Insider's Kevin Frazier saying, "The couple say "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 most difficult time."

But he bought her a ring....?
“when Bryant was just 22 and she 18.”
Never a good idea to marry that young.
That was a 4-carat diamong ring. Maybe she’s pissed Kobe didn’t buy Elizabeth Taylor’s 33 carat diamond ring at the high end auction held this week.
Or rape the desk clerk
His wife is just cashing out at the top of the market like any shrewd business woman would. Pro athletes, on average, do not have have a stellar track record when it comes to second careers

“”We ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season,””
Too bad neither one of them are thinking of the children!!!
Maybe Kobe hooked up with Kim Kardashian!!! LOL!!!
My dad was 21 and my mom 18 when they married. This year will be their 62nd anniversary.
Marriages last because the couple wants them to last. It really is that simple.
“My dad was 21 and my mom 18 when they married. This year will be their 62nd anniversary.”
Gob Bless them but that was a different generation with better morals and values.
Yeah, that too.
( 'Zup widat? )
Kobe’s part Italiano by osmosis.
I bet he wishes he played in Europe about now. This is gonna cost him half of his assets, half of his retirement, and $100,000 or close to it, every month until she remarries, and the kids are 21. NOT a sound financial position.
I was 18 and hubby just 23 when we married and this past June we celebrated our 50 Anniversary....so your statement doesn’t apply to all...
we have a son 39 and daughter 36 so there wasn’t a HAVE TO factor there..he was my first love and will be my last love..
I’m disappointed to hear that. I know he had that rape scandal, but they stayed together after that, and for awhile anyway, they looked like they were doing well. Their daughters are adorable; I’m sorry for them.
