Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players of all time. The 4-time NBA champion has been an excellent role model for kids all around the world. One of the most important reasons for his success is his wife, Ayesha. They have been together for a longer time than Steph has been in the NBA.
The couple has 2 daughters and a son together. Steph mentioned in an interview with Graham Bensinger that he delivered his first daughter, Riley, and how she completely changed her parents’ lifestyle.

Steph met Ayesha when they both were in high school. They tied the knot in 2011 when Steph was 23 years old. “Why waste time when you found the right one, right?” Steph said it was fate that brought them together many times and he wanted to start a family with her without wasting time.
Their first daughter, Riley, was born in 2012. Steph actually delivered his daughter that day. He said, “That was an experience. I didn’t know going into the delivery process that I was going to be that hands on.” Everything happened so quickly that he even forgot to put his scrubs on. He was taking care of his wife Ayesha and, “Riley was hustlin to come out”.
