Steph Curry and wife Ayesha’s expanding family: Everything to Me…
Stephen Curry, who is regarded as one of the most important players in NBA history, has dedicated his professional life to changing basketball. The two-time NBA MVP, though, is also passionate about his family.
Before his career with the Golden State Warriors, Steph met his wife at a young age. Their presence on social media has skyrocketed Steph into a unique kind of fame off the court. Fans and non-fans of basketball alike share an adoration for the Curry family, who continuously receive a flood of loving comments on social media calling them relationshipgoals.
The All-Star has recently been in the spotlight after his name appeared in the USA Basketball Men’s National Team player pool for the 2024 Olympic Games. He is among many other top players in basketball who we might see on this summer’s roster, including Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. This would be Steph’s first time stepping up to the Olympic level.
If Steph made it to the Olympic court, cheering him on in the stands would be his wife and three kids. And if the timing is right, a fifth Curry could be joining them! The couple recently announced that they’re expecting their fourth child, who will be an adorable addition to the giant population of fans repping number 30.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Currys ahead of what’s sure to be an eventful year.
Who is Stephen Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry?
As a couple of teenagers in Charlotte, North Carolina, Curry met his future wife Ayesha at their youth church group. Ayesha reminisced with People about her first impressions of the basketball superstar.
“My parents found this paper from my high school theater class where you had to write down what you wanted in a significant other,” she told the outlet. “At the bottom, it said, ‘No athletes, because they’re arrogant.’”
After breaking her “no athletes” rule, the couple began dating during Curry’s years at Davidson College and eventually married in 2011. Since then, the husband and wife have welcomed three children, Riley, 11, Ryan, 8, and Cannon, 5.
While Curry makes a name for himself on the court, Ayesha has spent time developing her career as a culinary buff.
Originally dreaming of becoming an actress, Ayesha moved to Los Angeles after high school to pursue a career on screen. After starting a family with Curry, she began her own claim to fame in 2014 with her blog Little Lights of Mine. With millions of followers on social media, Ayesha shed her identity as a basketball wife and found a whole new persona in the world of food.
The kitchen superstar has since published two cookbooks, The Seasoned Life and Full Plate, has a cooking show and developed a meal kit delivery service called Homemade, per Eater.com.
As a role model for her children, Ayesha says it’s important for them to know they can have a well-rounded life that includes family and a successful career.
“I think leading by example,” she told E! Online. “And showing them you can have a passion and you can explore your interests and still be able to maintain everything else. I think that was important for me, as a woman, to be able to show them that.”
Who are Stephen Curry’s kids, Riley, Ryan, and Canon?
Curry has been a doting father to his children since his first born, Riley, arrived in 2012. Riley became a big sister when the family welcomed their daughter Ryan in 2015. Three years later, their youngest, Canon, was born.
With the couple’s social media presence, fans of Curry and Ayesha have been able to keep up with the growing family.
