9. Vanessa Bryant – Staying Power

When Kobe Bryant was launching up to NBA stardom, a young girl caught his eye – as in a 17-year-old girl. Kobe was only 21 at the time but was smitten with the high schooler, Vanessa Laine. Laine was a back-up dancer and sought a model/actress/dancer gig in Hollywood. The two dated and he quickly moved to propose to her just six months after their first date. Kobe apparently moved fast on and off the court. But after Bryant’s admitted indiscretions, Laine filed for divorce in 2011. A little over a year later, they called off the divorce. Again, Vanessa, the handbook says you need to get the man a little older.
