PIC: Kobe Bryant kisses estranged wife Venessa

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 86-78 at the Staples Center on Tuesday — but the really heartwarming moment came right after the game, when player Kobe Bryant was photographed kissing estranged wife Vanessa.

PHOTOS: Are these couples better together?

Vanessa, 29, filed for divorce from Kobe, 33, last December, citing irreconcilable differences. The high school sweethearts married over 10 years ago and share daughters Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5.

Their marriage was famously put to the test back in 2003, when the basketball superstar was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel employee in Colorado. Although the charges were later dropped, Bryant purchased Vanessa a $4 million purple diamond ring as an apology.
