Vanessa filed to end the couple's marriage in Los Angeles on Friday (December 16), more than ten years after they tied the knot.
She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of the couple's separation.
The Bryants released a join statement to The Insider, wherein they claimed that their attorney has already helped them resolve the terms of their divorce.
"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," the Bryants said.
Kobe first began dating Vanessa when she was still a high school student, but they waited until she graduated to get married in April 2001.
The couple are parents to two daughters, 8-year-old Natalia Diamante Bryant and 5-year-old Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant.
