Last week Kobe and Vanessa Bryant's marriage crashed and burned after Vanessa got fed up with Kobe's cheating and kicked him to the curb [click here if you missed that].
Well according to reports, Kobe is hoping Vanessa will take him back for the sake of their daughters...
From TMZ
We're told Kobe is "deeply depressed" over the situation -- and is very concerned about how his daughters will handle growing up in two separate households.
Sources tell us ... Bryant's family was not aware of Kobe's exploits -- but they hope he and Vanessa can find a way to get along in the future ... if only for the sake of the kids.
