New year, new Mambacita?

Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant announced Tuesday night that he and his wife, Vanessa, are expecting their fourth child -- a baby girl, or as Bryant wrote, "another #mambacita."

The couple already has three daughters: Natalia, Gianna and Bianka.

Bryant made the announcement on his Instagram account.

Vanessa and I are beyond excited to announce that we are expecting another #mambacita to go along with Natalia, Gianna and Bianka #blessed #bryantbunch #daddysprincesses #love #2019
