It’s surprising that two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry missed his first chance with now-wife Ayesha Curry. During a gathering with his former youth group friend, he leaned in for a kiss, but she ducked.
Fortunately, “We had a do-over!” she shared with E! News’ Jason Kennedy in October 2017. A few years after that initial kiss in his parents’ driveway in their hometown of Charlotte, he proposed in that same location. “Yeah,” he told Parents, “it was like The Notebook.”
After their 2011 wedding, they soon discovered they were expecting their first child—future press conference star Riley. Ayesha feared she might struggle to establish her career.
However, over a decade later, with three more children—daughter Ryan, who joined the family in 2015, followed by brothers Canon and Caius in 2018 and 2024—and a thriving lifestyle empire, she has excelled, holding titles such as cookbook author, Food Network personality, model, and philanthropist.
Ayesha prefers not to be labeled as a “basketball wife.” As she cleverly remarked to ABC News, “I mean, I don’t think my husband would call himself ‘chef’s wife.’
