Kobe Bryant‘s soon-to-be ex-wife Vanessa Bryant is in high demand, but not only by eager bachelors waiting to scoop her up.
Producers for VH1′s wildly popular series Basketball Wives are feverishly putting together “an extremely lucrative pitch for Vanessa” in hopes she will be the show’s newest recurring character.
In previous seasons, the Basketball Wives’ budget wasn’t big enough to support such an in-demand spouse. Yet with the success of its original cast in Miami and spin-off in Los Angeles, the show has more than enough money to make Vanessa a generous offer.
Sources say the 27-year-old mother of two would take the lead on the L.A. edition and “[she] has more than enough storyline and would bring the show to another level.”
Just last week, Vanessa scored half of the couple’s assets– around $75 million– and all three of their homes in the Newport Beach area.
