Ciara shared an adorable selfie of the pair with Vanessa’s two youngest daughters, 19-month-old Capri Kobe and 5-year-old Bianka Bella, and Ciara Praise Vanessa Bryant for her resilience as a mother.
“Seeing you and the girls smile makes my heart smile,” wrote Ciara, 36. “You’re the toughest mama I know. Seeing you put one foot forward each day is admirable.
“It ain’t easy, but if I know one thing, Mamba Queen’s capable of it all,” she added. “Love you V. @VanessaBryant. #MambaDay💜💛.”

Vanessa, 39, shared the same photo on her own account, thanking friends like Ciara for being there for her and her daughters through this difficult, new time.
“It takes a village. Thank you to all my loving family, amazing friends and wonderful fans for your love and support. One day at a time,” she captioned the photo, which was missing 18-year-old daughter Natalia.

Ciara replied to the photo, reiterating her praise for Vanessa. “Love you and the girls so much V. So proud of you. Always here for you guys. ❤️❤️❤️,” she wrote.
