Furthermore, the former NBA Champion, who was once partnered with LeBron James at the Miami Heat, talked about how his wife “faked pregnancy” just to extract more money from him. In addition to signing a $14 million contract with the NBA at the time of the divorce, it was during the height of his basketball career.

However, the divorce resulted in him experiencing the most difficult time in his life. Curry said: “I remember telling my agent because I always kept it a secret because I was really embarrassed of it because I felt like such an idiot that I let her do that to me.”

In addition, he mentioned that she was his best friend at the time, but their personalities did not match so they clashed. As part of their conversation, he also discussed how her delaying increased the value of the “marital property” that she would be entitled to in the divorce. 

He said he lost a great deal of money and this issue affected his personal and professional life. Curry added the divorce ultimately took two years to resolve.
