She wrote on Instagram:
“My king, my heart, my best friend. Happy 19th wedding anniversary baby. I miss you so much. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms. I love you. ❤️”
The pair met on a music video set in 1999, and fell in love quickly after their first date at Disneyland. The young Los Angeles Lakers player eventually proposed, and the couple tied the knot on April 18, 2001 in California.

In addition, Vanessa shared a video from a 2001 interview that her late husband did with MTV News where he discusses how he knew she was the one. Don’t watch without grabbing some tissues:
Almost three months later, and it’s still so heartbreaking…
We hope you’re able to find comfort in being with your beautiful girls today, Vanessa.
