Steph and Ayesha got married in 2011 at a very young age. “We were babies when we got married. I was 22.” Stephen Curry was 23 at the time of their marriage. Soon after, the couple had their first daughter, Riley. Ayesha stated that she had no idea what she was getting into. She experienced loneliness because Steph was out playing for the Warriors.

However, her first pregnancy was very normal, and not traumatic in any way. It was a more stressful time in the Curry family when their second daughter, Ryan was about to be born.
