Kobe Bryant and his ex-wife Vanessa were seen kissing during the Lakers game on Valentines Day. Vanessa filed for divorce from the NBA star last year citing irreconcilable differences and according to various sources she may have cashed in on the split.
The pair were rumored to have wed without a prenuptial agreement, making it possible for Vanessa to take half of all Kobe's earnings in the ten years that they were married. According to TMZ.com, she has already taken possession of their three properties in Newport Beach, adding up to a total of nearly $19 million dollars.
The divorce came after repeated rumors surfaced that Bryant had been unfaithful:
"She's been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she's finally had enough," a source close to the couple tells TMZ.com. "This one is the straw that broke the camel's back."
Photos from the game show Vanessa cheering in the stands with a big smile and then walking down a tunnel smooching Bryant.
