Steph Curry could be about to relive his worst nightmare after old comments from his wife claiming he has a foot fetish resurfaced on social media.
The Golden State Warriors point guard may well be a four-time NBA champion and MVP twice in his career, but his sexual preference away from the court has dominated the headlines again.
Some six years after the footage was originally shown of his wife Ayesha discussing his apparent ‘foot fetish’, talk about the 35-year-old’s preference has gathered momentum again
“My husband really loves my feet. So the light was hitting them just right that day and I was like, ‘let me just snap this photo and send him a picture of my feet’,” she said on The Real Show.
“I always say, when he says to send nudes, that’s what he’s getting — a picture of my bare feet.
However, she backtracked from her comments after spotting the footage going viral on Twitter, now known as X, with a tweet of her own.
“Issa joke,” she replied, before replying with a suggestive emoji to a fan who said she was “lying”.
She later said on Food Network’s “The Real” that Steph was “going to kill me” after her comments, which may offer some explanation to her social media climbdown.
What we know about Steph Curry and Ayesha’s marriage
The pair have been married since 2011 after meeting at a church group in Charlotte when they were teenagers.
They have two daughters together, aged 11 and 8, and a five-year-old son. They now live at Curry’s luxury $33million mansion in Atherton, California.
While the Currys are said to have a happy marriage, they have had to fight off speculation about Ayesha’s happiness after her appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s ‘Red Table’ show in 2019.
She admitted to not liking how women ‘throw themselves’ at her husband and how it made her insecure, before insisting her comments were taken out of context. Instead of being angry, Curry praised his wife for being honest about her feelings.
“If anybody cared to get the full context and hear what she had to say, their reaction might be different,” he told USA Today. “But in this society, you don’t always get the chance.
“You’ve got to be OK with it in a certain sense because you can’t control it, but it shouldn’t deter you from speaking and being authentic and true about how you are. And that’s what I encourage her to do.”
