Ayesha and Stephen Curry spoke with People about their relationship timeline. You might not realize that this couple met while members of the same youth group in Charlotte, North Carolina. "We were just kids," Ayesha told the magazine." He was the cute boy at church that all of the girls were obsessed with, so I made a generalization that maybe he wasn't for me." Steph couldn't even remember the first time he saw his future wife, and it's safe to say that they didn't experience love at first sight. Ayesha even once wrote she didn't want to marry an athlete "because they're arrogant."
Later, Ayesha moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career, and Steph, who played for Davidson College, asked her out while he was in town for the ESPYs. Ayesha didn't know who Steph was or about the ESPYs, which the basketball player found refreshing. Ultimately, after turning him down for a date, Ayesha eventually agreed to go out, and the rest was history. The couple married in 2011, and they work hard to be good role models for their children. Despite being the wife of a professional basketball player, Aeysha told Robin Roberts that she's not an "NBA wife" the same as Steph isn't a "chef's husband" (via NBC News).
According to Hello Giggles, Aeysha credits her straight-talking for her and Steph's marital success. The power couple also started Eat.Play.Learn. to help end childhood hunger.
