However, sources reveal that Vanessa was not as welcoming to Khloe as the other wives because she was "jealous" of her loving marriage to Lamar."Khloe truly tried to break through Vanessa's icy exterior, with no success," a source told RadarOnline.

"Khloe has always been down to earth, and she became instantly very well liked by Lamar's teammates and wives.Vanessa was extremely jealous of the loving and healthy marriage that Lamar and Khloe have."

The source adds: "Khloe and Lamar had the Bryants over for dinner on multiple occasions, and it was always very tense because of Vanessa. Vanessa just thinks that she is better than everyone else."

Vanessa has had a turbulent marriage with Kobe, with their relationship being plagued by a number of cheating scandals, and of course, his high-profile sexual assault case in 2003.

She filed for divorce last Friday after ten years of marriage this month.
