Stephen Curry Keeps Ayesha Curry Close in Latest Statement Despite Public Backlash

On Sunday, all eyes were on the Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Carlos Alcaraz took on Jannik Sinner in the US Open Men’s Final. However, it wasn’t all about tennis, as fans from around the world couldn’t help but talk about the flurry of stars that showed up to the game– from Kevin Hart to Ben Stiller. Even US President Donald Trump found time from his busy schedule to be at the final. But only one couple caught the eyes of the NBA fans, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry.

The four-time NBA champion’s better half recently faced a lot of backlash for another post she uploaded earlier during the event. However, that did not bother Curry, who took it to Instagram to showcase his love for Ayesha. The Dubs point guard posted a series of pictures, but the one that struck a chord with the fans was his wholesome selfie with his beloved wife. In the picture, the 37-year-old can be seen smiling alongside Ayesha. However, this wasn’t it, as other pictures featured more of Steph’s family.

He was seen alongside his father, Dell Curry, and another woman who seemed to be Ayesha’s friend. “Got to see greatness at the @usopen this weekend. Congrats to Alcaraz on the W and thanks to @jpmorgan @chase for having us. #ChasePartner” Curry captioned the post, as he congratulated the 22-year-old Alcaraz on his emphatic win in the finals. The 22-year-old won what was his 6th grand slam title in a 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 over World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.

While Curry’s post was wholesome, his wife also shared a glimpse into the family’s happening weekend. In fact, Ayesha took things up a notch by breaking a decade-long streak. The eleven-time All-Star’s wife posted a picture holding the US Open’s iconic Honey Duece in her hand, as she captioned the story, “First time having vodka in a decade.” It seems like Curry’s wife is making the most of the little bit of the offseason left with her husband. More so, given the recent backlash she faced over her unusual confession.

Ayesha received a lot of heat over her recent statement on Stephen Curry

Just a few weeks ago, Ayesha Curry, while chatting with Alex Cooper, the host of the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, revealed that even though she liked the Golden State Warriors superstar right off the bat, she did not know if they would make a great couple, as she highlights that she did not see herself as someone having kids and rather thought herself as “a career girl.” Meanwhile, she also discussed what she thought Stephen Curry’s future would look like.

“Like I…. he said he wanted to be a high school basketball coach. Like, I thought, I thought I was going to be like the girl out there getting it,” Ayesha said. While not much was made of her words, as people did not seem to notice the undertones, until an Instagram account pointed out the alleged flaws in her statements regarding her husband. “Ladies, we need some clarity on this one 👀” The post asked, as it went on to further raise several questions to Steph’s better half.

“Why does Ayesha Curry feel the need to go on a public platform and admit that she “wasn’t into” Steph at first and even “hated” the idea of him chasing basketball—only for him to become the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history? She said she thought he’d just be a high school coach while she would be the one shining.

“Why broadcast it in a way that downplays or belittles him? Why openly express disdain for a man who not only proved her wrong but also provides a life most people could only dream of, all while being one of the best to ever play the game? Aren’t those the types of conversations that should stay private—or at least be handled in therapy?”

As expected, the fans quickly caught onto this as they also shared the thought with the account. Well, there’s no doubt that Ayesha Curry is entitled to her opinion, and even though she might not have chosen the right words on the occasion, it’s hard to accuse her of downplaying her husband Stephen Curry. After all, the couple have been together since their teenage years and share an amazing bond. So, if anything, Ayesha might be the last person to belittle her husband, after being with him through thick and thin.
