As kids in North Carolina, the couple met at a church and eventually fell in love. They tied the knot in June 2011 and welcomed their first child, Riley, a year later. Their family grew with the arrival of their second daughter, Ryan, in 2015, and their son Canon in 2018.
In May 2021, Ayesha openly discussed the difficulties of early motherhood and finding equilibrium between her responsibilities as a parent and her career aspirations. She initially began with a recipe blog that eventually blossomed into a successful franchise consisting of restaurants, cookbooks, and even a television show. Through this journey, she was able to unearth her true passion.
On the other hand, Stephen, who has been named an NBA All-Star nine times, has proved to be a master of balancing his basketball career with his role as a parent. Although he acknowledges that his children aren’t particularly thrilled about his skills on the court, he believes that the most critical factor is being a loving father at home. Consequently, he believes that his children are more concerned with having him as their dad, rather than how many times he scores.
Although Riley, Ryan, and Canon have had exposure to almost every sport, Stephen Curry is more concerned with ensuring that his children enjoy their childhood rather than pushing them toward athletic achievement. As he mentioned to PEOPLE on October 20, 2023, they are currently playing casual backyard sports with no concrete plans for the future. For Stephen, boosting their self-esteem and ability to find joy in all aspects of life is far more important. Here’s an introduction to Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s three children, including their experiences attending Golden State Warriors games and exploring their individual interests. First up is 11-year-old Elizabeth Riley Curry.
On July 19, 2012, Riley Elizabeth Curry was born and she made her first appearance at a news conference when she was just two years old. Her charming yawns and witty comments like “you’re too loud, daddy” won the hearts of many and quickly went viral, earning her the title of MVP of the 2015 NBA Finals. Over the years, Riley, along with her parents Stephen and Ayesha and younger sister Ryan, have shared many wonderful experiences together. Recently, they attended the 2022 ESPY Awards where they posed for photos in matching black-and-white outfits.
Riley, the eldest daughter of Stephen and Ayesha Curry, is not only interested in volleyball but is also gaining culinary skills like her mother. Ayesha is proud of her daughter’s cooking abilities and shares that Riley made chicken piccata from scratch. Ryan, the couple’s second daughter, is still figuring out if sports is her thing or not, but she has been supportive of her father on the basketball court. The youngest member of the Curry family, Canon, has a charming personality and has already taken an interest in basketball despite initially thinking his father was a golfer. At four years old, Canon is already showing off his skills by dribbling two basketballs simultaneously. The Curry family is proud of their children’s talents and passions.
