Kobe Bryant is NOT getting divorced. TMZ broke the story ... Vanessa -- through her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser -- filed to end her marriage in December, 2011. Several months later ... Kobe -- in an attempt to win her back -- deeded over his interest in their 3 Newport Beach mansions. Since she filed, Vanessa and Kobe were on-again, off-again like high school students.
