Kobe Bryant's eldest daughter Natalia Bryant has just signed a modeling contract with IMG Models.
Natalia is the eldest daughter of the late Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, and his wife Vanessa. IMG Models announced on Monday that it is now representing the teenager, who turned 18 last month.
Natalia also shared the news on her own Instagram with her 2.3 million followers.
Sharing a quote by her that was originally posted by IMG Models, she wrote:
"I have always been interested in fashion since a very young age. I have a love for the industry and ever since I can remember I wanted to model. There is a lot to learn but I feel this is a great opportunity for me to learn and express myself creatively."
The 18-year-old also took to her Instagram Story, where she wrote alongside three heart emojis: "I am beyond thrilled and so honored to be a part of the IMG family!"
Vanessa, who was also a model previously, reposted the announcement, writing: "I'm so happy for you! I love you Nani."
Needless to say, plenty of people have taken to Instagram to congratulate the up and coming model for her achievement.
Actor Millie Bobbie Brown took to the comments to write alongside a pair of heart emojis: "So beautiful! Congratulations."
Another Instagram user wrote: "Not long ago I was thinking about how much you should be a model !! I am so thrilled and excited for you! Congratulations you deserve this so much! [sic]"
A third said: "Very well deserved sweet girl. you are beautiful beyond words!"
A fourth commenter shared: "Beautiful! I pray for you! I pray for your wisdom. I pray for strength. I pray for peace. May the lord give you all you need to continue to open paths, as the oldest sister and as the role model you were born to be."
This comes after it was announced that Ella Emhoff, the 21-year-old stepdaughter of Kamala Harris, and 22-year-old poet Amanda Gorman both signed with IMG Models.
