Bryant posted about the family’s incoming bundle of joy on Instagram on Tuesday, and revealed the baby’s gender as well — another girl!

The newest mambacita will join older sisters Natalia, 15, Gianna, 12 and Bianka, 2. Back in April 2017, when Bianka was just a few months old, Bryant said in an interview that he and Vanessa might try for a fourth kid. He told Extra “I think Vanessa wants a boy more than I do.”
Vanessa seems far from disappointed to be welcoming another girl to their family, though. In her own Instagram post announcing her pregnancy (via People), she said that big sisters Natalia and Gianna are “super excited to welcome another little baby sister to love.”
Bryant and his wife married in 2001.
