Stephen Curry finally told Ayesha Curry how he feels

PEOPLE magazine published a story back in 2017 about the first time the couple said “I love you” to each other. During the interview, she explained everything that happened, including how Stephen did not reply back the first time by saying those three words.

“I told him I loved him first and he said, ‘I feel like I love you too, but I don’t want to say it unless I’m sure because I just want to be sure that when I say it, I really mean it,’” she explained. “I had to get in my car and drive home. I was crying.”
