Hugging as they pose on the red carpet, Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa couldn't look any happier.

Just a few days after announcing they had cancelled their divorce, the pair appeared blissfully in love as they attended a party following the Golden Globes.

Vanessa confirmed on Friday that the two had chosen to get back together, 13 months after annoucing plans to divorce.

'We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled. Our divorce action will be dismissed.  We are looking forward to our future together,' read the statement, which Vanessa posted on her Instagram account.

The couple have been starting off the new year on the right foot and have been shamelessly posting photographs - and kind words - of each other on their social media profiles.

The Lakers guard only joined Twitter on Jan. 4, but he's already managed to share an image of his wife sending him a big kiss.

Last week the mother-of-two shared her love for her husband on her Instagram, which she launched in December.

'Happy New Year Everyone!' the post began. 'My hope is for everyone to have a blessed, healthy, happy 2013 full of joy and laughter. I'm thankful for the 99% of fans that have expressed love and support for my family and I.'

Vanessa filed for divorce from Kobe in December 2011, but the proceedings were never finalised.

The former dancer was apparently fed up after Kobe allegedly cheated on her multiple times with other women.

The couple's relationship has been up and down, and sent reeling when Kobe was arrested in 2003 for sexual assault on a 19-year-old employee of a Colorado hotel.

While that case was eventually dropped, Kobe did admit to a sexual encounter with his accuser.

Kobe married Vanessa in 2001 at Dana Point, California, when he was 21 and she was 18, and reportedly without a prenuptial agreement.

But she reportedly had a change of heart about their split early last year.

Three months after announcing their divorce the couple were photographed kissing by the locker rooms at a Lakers game in February.

Over the summer, Vanessa took her kids with her to London to cheer her husband as he competed in the Olympics.

And things appeared to have been back to normal by Christmas, as the family shared an intimate holiday portrait with friends and family.

Despite the reconciliation the couple still needed to shed some baggage and sold one of their three homes in Orange County, California.
The 6,000 square foot mansion closed its sale on Tuesday for $3.22million, nine years after the couple purchased the home together for $2.65million.
As the couple worked through their divorce the home had been transferred solely to Vanessa, who listed it for sale in September for $3.75million.
