Stephen Curry may be the standout star of the Golden State Warriors, but his wife, Ayesha, has carved out an impressive niche of her own as a culinary entrepreneur and lifestyle brand creator. The couple has become one of America’s most recognized power duos, with a story that transcends basketball fame.
Ayesha and Stephen’s love story began in a church youth group in 2003, although it wasn’t until five years later that their romance took off in Hollywood. After a brief courtship, the 11-time NBA All-Star proposed in July 2010, and the pair married the following year in North Carolina, laying the groundwork for their personal and professional achievements.
Initially aspiring to be an actress, Ayesha appeared in a few films, including “Underground Street Flippers” and “Love for Sale.” However, she found her true passion in the culinary field, launching her career with cooking videos on YouTube. This led to the publication of two successful cookbooks: “The Seasoned Life” in 2016 and “The Full Plate” in 2020.
Her culinary success opened doors to television, where she debuted her Food Network show, “Ayesha’s Homemade,” which was later rebranded as “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen.” Moreover, she has taken on the role of a judge on “Family Food Fight,” and partnered with Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina to establish restaurants.
In addition to her culinary ventures, Ayesha launched her lifestyle brand, Sweet July, in April 2020, which includes a magazine, retail store, and a product line. She extended her business footprint with Sweet July Productions and Sweet July Skin, the latter introduced in 2023. Last year, she opened the Sweet July Café in Santa Monica, further enhancing her brand’s presence.
Balancing their expanding professional lives with family responsibilities, Ayesha and Steph are proud parents to four children: Riley, Ryan, Canon, and the newest addition, Caius. They also founded the Eat, Learn, Play Foundation in 2019, working tirelessly to address child hunger, enhance education, and create safe recreational spaces for children.
Despite her earlier reservations about dating athletes due to a perceived attitude, Ayesha humorously acknowledges that Stephen was the exception to her rule, showcasing the unique partnership that has flourished between them. Their shared accomplishments highlight not only their individual strengths but also their commitment to family and community, making them an inspiring couple for many.
