Kobe Bryant is heading for divorce, said TMZ.com. Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, who famously stayed with him after he was tried and acquitted of sexual assault, in 2003, filed to end their 10-and-a-half-year marriage last week. Sources say Vanessa has caught the Los Angeles Lakers star cheating with “multiple women” over the years, and that she may have caught him in the act “very recently.”
