For Ayesha and Stephen Curry, maintaining a strong foundation in their marriage is the key to a happy and healthy family. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ayesha opened up about the importance of prioritizing their relationship before anything else—including parenting their children.
“I think for us, our relationship always comes first. Then we’re parents,” Ayesha shared. “And that works for us because then you have two happy people raising the kids in the house. So the family sector in our lives always comes first.”
The Golden State Warriors superstar and the entrepreneur, cookbook author, and TV personality have been married for over 12 years, tying the knot in July 2011. Their love story dates back even further—they first met as teenagers at a church youth group in Charlotte, North Carolina, and reconnected years later.
Since then, the couple has been inseparable, balancing their high-profile careers with their dedication to building a loving home for their children.
Ayesha and Steph are parents to three children: Riley, 12, Ryan, 9, and Canon, 6.
Despite the demands of parenting, Ayesha believes that maintaining a strong relationship as a couple is essential for creating a nurturing environment for their children.
Both Ayesha and Steph are incredibly busy—between Steph’s NBA career and Ayesha’s thriving business ventures, including her Sweet July lifestyle brand, restaurants, and bestselling cookbooks. However, they make intentional efforts to spend quality time together, whether it’s through date nights, vacations, or simply supporting each other’s endeavors.
“You have to be intentional about making time for each other,” Ayesha shared in a past interview. “Life gets busy, but if you make your relationship a priority, everything else falls into place.”
