Last month, Natalia announced that she had signed with the modeling agency IGM.
“I’ve always been interested in fashion from a young age,” she said in an Instagram post. “I have a love for the industry and since I can remember, I wanted to model. There’s a lot to learn, but I feel it’s a great opportunity for me to learn creatively and express myself.”
In January, the family celebrated Natalia’s birthday with photos of Kobe, who died in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others in January 2020.
Vanessa also shared a post honoring Natalia’s big day with the caption: “We love you forever and ever, forever and ever. Happy 18th birthday to our firstborn, Natalia, our princess! Love forever, Mom, Dad, Gigi, BB and Koko ❤️. “
