Steph Curry‘s wife, Ayesha Curry, sparked a heated debate on X following a shocking revelation about her priorities. In a recent interview, the businesswoman and chef addressed her status as a wife and mother of four children. She declared her husband would always take precedence over their kids, saying:
“I think for us, our relationship always comes first. Then we’re parents. And that works for us because then you have two happy people raising the kids in the house. So the family sector in our lives always comes first.”
Ayesha added that her longtime dynamic with Steph was also influenced by being in the right company. She explained that she and the NBA star surrounded themselves with people “smarter” than them. However, raving about the secrets to her decades-long bond with Steph did not resonate with everyone, per Buzzfeed. Many were outraged by her decision to prioritize her marriage over her kids and shamed her for it.
A disapproving X user wrote, “I’ll forever believe this is such dangerous rhetoric because ain’t no way you should put any relationships before CHILDREN, your own flesh and blood.” Another echoed similar sentiments, stressing they would never put anyone before their child. A third noted they would prioritize their children because one’s husband might not be a lifetime companion. Meanwhile, a few saw Ayesha’s mindset as privileged thinking. Someone pointed out that it was “Probably easier when you have that much money and can afford a nanny, etc lol.”
Fans Defend Steph Curry’s Wife Against Critics

While Ayesha’s message did not click with critics, numerous fans supported her stance. An X user implied the disapproving comments did not come from couples, writing, “Single moms…sit this one out.” Another shared the same view, noting, “Married people get it!!!!” The love the the basketball player’s wife continued, with someone stressing:
“Urban single people/ baby moms/non-Christians always have an issue with this… but the couple existed first and needs to exist after the kids are grown. Therefore, the core of the family needs to continually be prioritized and nurtured.”
Ayesha’s stance on marriage and family might not be for everyone, but the results speak for themselves. The Ayesha’s Homemade star has enjoyed over 13 years of blissful marriage to Steph with four children. The power couple share two daughters, Riley and Ryan, and two sons, Canon and Caius. Earlier this year, We covered the brutal dose of honesty Canon hilariously blessed his mother with.
The doting mom shared the news, revealing she was in the kitchen when Canon entered to body-shame her. “Mom, are you having another baby? Your belly looks big,” the little boy wondered. Ayesha confessed that she was shocked by his question because she had lost three pounds. Although her son’s words were a low blow, she took the hit like a champ.
Will Ayesha Curry respond to those criticizing her mindset, or will she let her rosy marriage to Steph Curry do the talking?
