    why is he kissing that child in the mouth in all these pics?

  • wow says:

    I take it that’s his favorite?

  • Lisette says:

    I think it’s cute. Y’all know that the littlest one always gets more kisses. LOL

  • LBIZZLE says:

    lmao @ wow I know right…(side eyeing Kobe)…uhmmm I luv it when I see fathers showing affection to their children, however in Kobe’s case kissing the little girls on the mouth all the time is a bit inappropriate.

  • kia says:

    im not saying he cant kiss his daughter but goodness it seems like too much is being put into these kisses try closing your lips a little more Kobe and i agree with u wow Says that must be his favorite lol

  • Ebony says:

    I guess kissing your children with the same mouth that you………..let me stop!!! The kids are so cute, but I really can’t stand Kobe! Great basketball player though.

  • Joy says:

    His girls are beautiful!

  • LC says:

    Gross! Not the little girl but how he’s kissing her…don’t look so innocent. They look like they in love but I understand a fathers love for his little girl but dang it’s always the same one he doing it too not to mention I don’t like his arrogant attitude. Love his confidence in his game though.

  • its just a kiss says:

    You people are disgusting. It is a simple kiss from a father to his daughter. Maybe if some of you had gotten more hugges and kisses from your father you would not be so BITTER and would understand that a girls first love is always her daddy. Just a thought.

  • Nykya says:

    …He seems to definitely have a fave. Some parents do.

  • Jas says:

    I think it’s cute.

  • ModelChic says:

    For all we know, Kobe could have a ritual of kissing his wife and daughters after every winning game. The little girl is not even three yet people!!! Now, if he’s still kissing her in the mouth at age 7 or something then feel free to raise your eyebrows. Until then, leave the man alone

  • mel says:

    Since when is it wrong to kiss your kids on the mouth. If he wasnt married to his baby’s momma that would be an issue. A simple kiss from his daugther and yall make a deal out of that. Wow!

  • Sam says:

    What wrong with your guys. You guys haven’t been open to different culture…. There some parents that kiss there parents and children on the lips get over it.

  • Keilee says:

    I have worked with children for years and if a parent is kissing the child in the mouth like that they (the child) tend to think that it is ok to kiss anyone in the mouth.

  • Janelle says:

    I’m not as fan of Kobe and I think kissing your kids on the lips is kind of weird. But to each his own nd I know he’s only kissing her as a loving father. I saw a clip on youtube of the oldest daughter wiping his kiss away. Maybe she doesn’t appreciate his kisses…lol

  • Blue says:

    Sam I agree. Some parents kiss their kids on the lips and some on the cheek.

    I don’t know why anyone would assume that he has a favorite based on a few photos. This whole post is about GIANNA not her sister. Don’t try to make a judgement off of a few photos.

  • kylor2 says:

    I agree with “itsjust a kiss” and Sam. If it is what you are used to culturally then it is no big deal. I think it is wonderful to see daddies and their baby girls, atleast it limits to possibility that they will feel unloved..that leads to real issues

  • Kiki says:

    My husband pecks our daughter on the lips all the time but it’s NOTHING like this. That first one just looks nasty!

  • Suitepuma says:

    I think we all are sensitive to grown men kissing little girls on the mouth these days(even if its father to daughter) because we are paranoid that anyone could be a perv…

    although this looks inappropriate I’m sure that it’s completely innocent… Daddy’s lil girl won’t always like attention from Daddy so he is gettin it in while she’s young!

  • Drea says:

    yeah, you guys are making this into way more than it is. I have a 12 year old and I still kiss him on the mouth…in fact, at this age, I’m the only woman/girl he’s supposed to and allowed to kiss on the mouth. I tell him those lips are mine, not even granny gets them!
    Don’t make such a big deal out of something so innocent, though I do think Ebony’s comment is funny and a little fitting LMAO!

  • SUZ(*Ti Amo*) says:

    Cute little kids and it’s good Kobe is there to be affectionate with his kids

  • Midnite says:

    Damn, He be all up in this little girl mouth to deep, I know it’s his daughter but I kiss my son a million times a day, And it’s on his cheek. If I had a daughter and my husband kissed my child like that, He would have to lean back. And I am not saying this because I don’t like Kobe.

  • Midnite says:

    @ Suitepuma, Yeah he was innocent when he cheated on his wife, But the kiss on the little girl lips may be innocent but it is a bit to much for the public, do it at home. After all he likes his privacy Right!.
    I like how people will give him his props as a great basketball player, But he comes up short with the attitude and his selfishness. I never saw him kiss his first born like that when she was born, or now. I was my Dad’s favorite, but he NEVER Kissed me on my lips like this in home or public.

  • Kat says:

    Wow- we see the individuals who grew up in “normal” families. If your mind automatically went to that place- you need help- I received/gave kisses like that to my great-great granny and everybody down the line- it was normal for US- just because your family doesn’t do it, does not make it “sick”.

  • CF98 says:

    Did it ever occur to you people that since its a picture its taken in a brief moment in time and that it makes it seem longer than it really is? For all we know that may have lasted a couple of seconds and the picture makes it seem like it lasted longer than it really did.

    I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable kissing my dad on the lips at that age but it depends on how you were raised.

  • Nicole says:

    I agree with some of the comments on here such as CF98 on how the kiss could have lasted a couple of seconds and others who have said it’s just a father/daughter kiss.

    He is not sticking his tongue down that baby’s throat. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. Before, the argument used to be that he didn’t kiss his oldest daughter at all. Yall are crazy.

    My girls are 4 and 7 and I still give them kisses on the lips. My son is 10. We stopped doing that when he turned 8. I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to do that anymore.

    I really do think some of yall are overreacting to these pics.

  • krazychika says:

    i don’t do the kiss on the lips thing after the age of 2 but she’s a cutie and kobe loves his lil girl

  • Ms.B says:

    You people trip me out! There is nothing wrong with a parent kissing their child on the lips. That is a litte girl who is I’m sure a daddy’s girl. That may be how they show affection in their house, just becuse you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

  • Kennedy says:

    Yea my 4 year old son gives me and hubby kisses on the lips all the time. It’s all love!

  • Ms. Evans says:

    His lips are overlapping hers on the first pic…gross!

  • KEEYSHA.J says:

    THAT KISS IS A LIL TOO MUCH DAMN JUST GIVE HER A LIL PECK

  • Monique says:

    Some of you must have really had something bad happen to you when you were children.

  • Dee says:

    There is nothing wrong with a parent showing affection by kissing his child on the lips. Just take it for what it is and do not read too much into it. Leave the man alone…if he was affectionate, then people would be saying something else. You just can’t please black people.

  • Nita says:

    Give me a break. There is nothing wrong with a parent kissing their child on the lips. There’s nothing nasty about it. Not every man is a child molester.

  • hanaboo says:

    i agree wid drea, my babygirls 3 she knos not to let no one but me n her daddy kiss her lips theres no problem with father daughter kisses at such a young age i see wat some of u are sayin about the first pic but its tru its jus a moment in time it looks more than it is i think,
    though still lmao @ ebony, cos thats also tru, eeeeeww

  • Midnite says:

    @ Dee, I think you just can’t please people no matter what color they are. I see black people bending over backwards trying to please white people others races and they still come up short. The kiss may be innocent and just like people come in different colors, people see the kiss different. You see it one way I see it another way. Don’t assume that everybody on this site is BLACK. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. ALL PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

  • Hlthcare says:

    I hope he doesn’t have herpes cuz he could pass that alot to little Gianna.

  • Dree says:

    I hope Kobe is keeping himself clean too, we know how he gets down, he better not pass not diseases to that girl.

  • ANGEL says:

    WHY DOES IT SEEM AS IF GIANNA GETS MORE AFFECTION/ATTENTION FROM HER PARENTS WHILE NATHALIE IS JUSS HANGIN…
    OUT OF ALL THE PICS OF KOBE AND HIS KIDS GIANNA IS CONSTANTLY KISSED OR CUDDLED UP WITH EITHER OR….AND WHY IS HE KISSING THIS LITTLE GIRL IN HER MOUTH, I KNO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOTICED THIS, AM I OR AM I NOT…

  • Christina says:

    You cant go by these pics. I’m a Lakers fan so I see Kobe and his girls all the time in every one of these instances he kissed his wife, his daughter Natalia and his little one Gianna. So there is no reason to think that Gianna is the favorite, that’s just the one they’re showing in the pictures in this thread. And if your mind automatically went into pedophile mode when you saw these pics, you need to look internally and figure out why. Nothing wrong with a man showing affection for his children. Grow up.

  • cre8me says:

    Bravo @ its just a kiss!
    You guys are sick! You can tell those of you who grew up in a loving two parent home from those of you who didn’t. Why make such comments. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a daddy kissing HIS daughter on the lips. Its pure and affectionate and it should happen. Woe to you who call it gross and inappropriate… Im sensing some unresolved issues from your absent father…

  • Nicole says:

    @cre8me: I wouldn’t go so far as to say everyone who thinks the pictures are inappropriate must have daddy issues and vice versa. However, pictures are meant to capture a singular moment in time and make it last forever, so to some people who are think everyone is a freak it looks like Kobe went too far. I don’t think so, but he was kind of eating her face there, though. lol

  • omg says:

    omg its just a kiss. yall are over reacting if he wants to kiss his lil grl like tht thn so be it. leave tht man alone. yall a bunch of haters. n even if she was 7 thats the type relationship they hve….affectionate. bitter biddies.

  • lily says:

    idk i give my babies
    kisses on the lips
    but the first pic
    is kinda gross
    he’s lips are so
    big that it overlaps
    the babies lips so
    it makes the kiss look
    to engaging

  • Midnite says:

    The kiss is a bit to much, I grew up a Daddy’s girl and my Dad kissed me all the time, NEVER ON MY LIPS or like this. To all of you who say Kobe love his child, What;s Love Got to Do with it? He loves his wife, but he still cheated on her.

  • Midnite says:

    @ Chrsitina I am sorry to hear you are a Lakers Fan, I use to be one until selfish Kobe came along. I will be one agian when he leavs.

  • Christina says:

    Midnite, no need to be sorry for me sweetie. I LOVE my Lakers, every one of them. Been a Lakers fan long before Kobe and will be one long after he retires. We Lakers fans are blessed to have Kobe on our team and relish the fact that we’re witnessing a legend in the making. I’ll be able to tell my grandkids I saw one of the best that ever played. Oh and please, don’t come back once he’s gone, we don’t need any bandwagoners. ha GO LAKERS!!

  • Kat says:

    Midnite- being a daddy’s girl has nothing to do with the way you were RAISED. I am a daddy’s girl too and I still peck my father on the lips as well as my mother and my grandmother and my uncle etc etc lol- it’s the norm for MY (keyword: my) family.
