They both posted a photo of a onesie that read 'baby mamba' with a red bow and two-tone sneakers to reveal their pregnancy news.
The onesie plays off of one the most popular nicknames for the retired basketball player - the 'Black Mamba.'
In 2003, Kobe started referring to himself as the 'Black Mamba' - which he got from watching the Kill Bill movies.
