Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant has reconciled with his wife Vanessa, despite plans to divorce.

The couple confirmed last week that they had decided to cancel divorce proceedings and have since publicly confirmed their reconciliation by attending red carpet events in LA.

The pair were spotted lending their support to organisation Step Up, which is a permanent supportive housing project, which has also been backed by former president Bill Clinton.

It is believed that Bryant and his wife will launch a new charity aiming to eradicate homelessness among young people in LA, according to The Huffington Post.

Bryant first met Vanessa in 1999.
