Basketball player Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha are set to welcome a fourth child into their family after announcing she is pregnant just months after their 12th wedding anniversary.
The Golden State Warriors star, 35, has been married to his childhood sweetheart since 2011 and the couple are already parents to Riley, 11, Ryan, eight, and Cannon, five.
On Friday, Ayesha, 34, revealed to the world she is expecting her fourth child by starring on the cover of Sweet July Magazine’s first digital issue with a belly-baring shot.
“Last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again,” she said.
Ayesha explained how her children growing up made her realize she had more time on her hands and the experience of watching her children live through a pregnancy was “exciting”.
“I’m also realizing how quickly time has gone by with our first three children, who are now self-sufficient and don’t need as much from us,” she added.
“Getting to experience this through his eyes and through Ryan and Riley’s eyes has been so cool. They’re at such different ages and stages in life. Their perspectives are so different and it’s been the most exciting thing.”
The cookbook author has been open in speaking about her cravings while being pregnant, which range from wanting watermelon to McDonald’s McGriddles.
Everything we know about Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry’s family
Steph and Ayesha’s relationship began when they met at a church youth group in Charlotte, North Carolina, when they were teenagers. They got engaged in 2010 and were married the following year, and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
While Curry continues to perform on the court, Ayesha has been hosting her cooking show on the Food Network and runs a lifestyle publication that launched in 2020.
Not long after Cannon was born, they decided they didn’t want any more children. However, after a change of heart, they decided to try to have another child.
In the interview for Sweet July Magazine’s ‘Village Issue’, Ayesha opened up on how their family felt incomplete without another child.
“For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing. I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something.’ But nobody was forgotten,” Ayesha writes.
“It started to turn my brain a little bit. Maybe somebody was missing. So we set out on this journey, knowing that this would complete our family.”
