Natalia Bryant Marks USC Graduation with Honors

Natalia Bryant is officially a USC graduate. The 22-year-old model and daughter of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant graduated cum laude from the University of Southern California and marked the milestone with a beautiful Instagram post on May 16. Dressed in a white outfit and a red and gold stole, she captioned the photo simply, “25’❤️🎓.” The stole included the honor and her sorority letters, Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Her proud mom, Vanessa Bryant, also celebrated the moment online, sharing joyful posts and photos from the big day. Natalia, who has previously opened up about the challenges of balancing modeling and academics, credits her success to the support of her family and friends. “If someone says being a full-time student is not difficult, they’re lying,” she told PEOPLE in 2024. “But I do think that having a great support team… has been the most important thing.”
