Is Stephen Curry the ultimate family man in the NBA? How does he balance it all?

Superstar Stephen Curry is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated ballers in the NBA. It’s not only because of his basketball prowess but also the image that he carries outside the arena. Off-the-court, the Golden State Warriors superstar is just a loving husband to Ayesha Curry.  He’s also a father. And, it’s safe to say that the superstar has expanded his clan in the last few years. Let’s explore more about Steph’s kids and some interesting details about their household.

Before we turn our attention to the kids, let’s not overlook the classic romance between Ayesha Curry and Steph. The couple met each other in a church when they were teenagers in North Carolina. They tied the knot in 2011, two years after Steph began his professional career. Even after 13 years of marriage and raising four children, their love remains evident. And they still make time for dates!

Ayesha Curry isn’t just a superstar’s wife. The 2x New York Times Best-Selling author is a business powerhouse. Apart from running a restaurant, she owns a beauty brand, Sweet July. On the other hand, Stephen Curry juggles between on-court action and family man duties. Here’s everything we need to know about Steph and Ayesha’s four kids.

Riley Elizabeth Curry, 12

The couple’s eldest daughter was born a year after their marriage in 2012. Before anyone could think anything about Riley Curry, only one thing usually pops up. It’s the wholesome press conference where Steph brought his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter during the interaction with the reporters. The blue-eyed kid, sitting on her pop’s lap, witnessed a room full of loud reporters for the first time. She appeared not to like that. She was seen yawning, giggling, and scanning the room with her eyes wide open.

Moreover, Riley even interrupted her dad, saying: “You’re too loud, Daddy,” with all the cuteness a toddler can bring. That’s it, Riley became a sensation overnight, as the adorable video won the fans’ hearts. Following that, Riley was spotted several in the Chase Center stands by the home team tunnel, watching her daddy’s game with her family. And, of course, coming from Steph’s family in which everyone has a sports background, Riley can’t escape it.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Stephen Curry the ultimate family man in the NBA? How does he balance it all?

Have an interesting take?

She has gone her grandmother Sonya Curry’s way, finding her passion in Volleyball. Recently Steph even spoke about father duties to Kevin Durant at the Olympics training camp. He said, “I was a real volleyball dad for three weeks. I went to every tournament… Sacramento, Dallas… Our AAU days back in the day, it’s like everything has changed so much, but to see her here and there.” Who knows Riley could shift her focus on basketball and the NBA world could see a Steph Curry in the WNBA.

Ryan Carson Curry, 9

Their second daughter was born in 2015. Just like Riley, Ryan Curry can often be spotted at the sidelines witnessing her dad’s game. Moreover, the superstar has taken her out to limited events and interviews, maintaining a controlled media presence around his daughter. When she was born, Steph took to her IG handle and wrote, “I’m wayyyyy up I feel Blessed! God is Great.”

Moreover, Ryan Curry seems to be the odd one out in the family, as she hasn’t developed any interest in sports. Instead, she has chosen another route. Before the birth of their fourth child, Steph has a wholesome moment, introducing his kids’ interests. He said, “Middle daughter, the dancer. She’s kind of the artist of the family so I’m over two on that one already.” Maybe the fans could expect a pop artist coming out of the Curry clan in the future.

Canon W. Jack Curry, 6

Certainly, the naughtiest one among the Curry kids. While the NBA world hasn’t seen much of him apart from social media uploads, the latest documentary showed a glimpse. A few months ago, Steph dropped his documentary, Underrated, and fans witnessed Canon’s lively antics—running around the house, screaming, and shouting.

Ayesha Curry recently revealed the interesting story behind his name. Speaking to People, Ayesha said, “Canon always stuck with us. France is one of our favorite places to vacation, and so his name’s actually French and it means young wolf, which Stephen loved because we kind of consider ourselves a wolf pack.” On the other Steph isn’t sure of what he’d become in the future. Speaking of his future, Steph said, “He’s kind of the athlete but I don’t know if basketball, golf, baseball, whatever it is.” Fifteen years down the line, the NBA world might witness a sudden Curry surprise on the court.

Caius Chai Curry

And, the last one in the family, the sixth member. The couple welcomed Caius Chai to the world on May 11, 2024, with a special IG post. The couple in a joint post wrote, “He’s doing great and we are finally settling in at home as a family of 6! So grateful!” While the superstar expected the baby to enter the world ahead of his Olympics debut, the couple had an early delivery.

Will he pick up the basketball like his dad or go on another route? Let us know in the comments below.
