The journey of the NBA’s most amorous couple, Stephen Curry and Ayesha started in 2003. They were merely teens when they met. However, they didn’t get back in touch and start dating until 2008. Ayesha noticed that she was falling in love with Stephen more and more as their relationship grew stronger. She has been a constant source of strength for him throughout the years, motivating him to pursue his goals and raising their lovely family. Riley, their oldest daughter, was born in 2012; Ryan was born in 2015; and Canon, their youngest child, was born in 2018.

Despite their hectic professional lives, the couple has managed to stay committed to their family. However, Ayesha Curry admitted her regret over her parenting mistake during a recent interview.

Ayesha Curry remained candid about her family in the latest interview. She revealed how when the pandemic hit, she prioritized time with her children and keeping them close. The Currys chose a private and secluded lifestyle as the world came to a standstill. Before March 2020, their lives were marked by focused media attention on them. However, the pandemic gave them a priceless opportunity to consider their goals and focus on improving themselves.

For Curry’s children, Riley, Ryan, and Canon, having both parents at home during the epidemic was a great blessing since they flourished in this setting. Curry revealed that her daughters in particular have a keen interest in the arts. Her 7-year-old daughter, Ryan, has recently grown fond of playing the ukulele, demonstrating her expanding interest in music.

Their children, particularly Riley were subject to a lot of media attention while growing up. Last year, Riley Curry received a marriage proposal from a fan. The Golden State Warriors were having their championship parade in San Francisco when Riley noticed a sign. It asked Riley Curry to marry the young fan.

Riley, being merely nine years old blushed at the sign. She smiled back at the young fan. This chaotic incident went viral on social media and bought Riley Curry into the spotlight. Ayesha regrets putting her children in such a situation.

She said, “When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become. If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don’t think we would’ve done it.”

However, it seems like the couple has realized their mistakes and knows better now. Their children stay away from social media. They don’t have access to phones so that prevents them from reading anything malicious about their parents. Although Ayesha knows this isn’t going to be the case forever, it seems like she will try her best to keep their children safe and tucked away from media attention.
