"@vanessabryant and I are beyond excited to welcome our newest baby girl, Bianka!! #BabyBlessing #SweetBaby #AnotherAngel," he captioned the picture.

TMZ had reported Dec. 8 that Bryant and Vanessa recently welcomed their third child. The couple are also parents to two other daughters, 13-year-old Natalia and 10-year-old Gianna, and announced they were expecting again in July.

"Beyond blessed and excited to share that we are expecting our third baby girl!!! #Blessed #BabyMamba #Thankful" the pair said at the time.

Bryant said in an interview with Access Hollywood at the ESPY Awards the same month that "having three girls is a huge, huge blessing." He retired from the NBA in April after 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers.
