All About Steph Curry’s Growing Family with Wife Ayesha: “Everything to Me”
Touted as one of the most invaluable players in NBA history, Stephen Curry has devoted his career to revolutionizing basketball. But the two-time NBA MVP has another passion: 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.
