Like writer Mignon McLaughlin once said: “A happy marriage is falling in love many times in your life. But only with one person”, that’s exactly how Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry did. makes other couples constantly admire.

It was on a bustling night in the city of Oakland, people were still jubilant after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in round 1 of the 2016 NBA Playoffs. As always, their hero, Stephen Curry, was not forgotten. dinner date with wife Ayesha Curry.

No parties, no crowds, they chose Ozumo, a Japanese restaurant in the Uptown area of Oakland. During the meal, the two accidentally learned about a Kirk Franklin concert about to take place at the Paramount Theater. Stephen Curry quickly pulled out his phone and went online to buy tickets, but guess what, the tickets for the concert were sold out.

After dinner, they walked hand in hand back to the parking lot. Along West Grand Avenue, gentle breezes passed through both of their ears like melodies. Everything was like a stage set up for this couple’s impromptu performance.

Stephen Curry and his wife couldn’t go to a Kirk Franklin concert, but they could create their own musical night. From the humming words, the two suddenly sang the song “Lean on Me”.

Ayesha Curry, who took acting classes, added a little expressiveness to her “performance” along with the lyrics. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry also freely sang and danced with his wife. It was a normal night for the Curry couple.

These two people are always like that. They are talented and brave, but are also willing to be silly together at times. A 10/10 couple model that today’s Millennials still often dream of.

Some people will think that all the happy clips of Stephen and Ayesha Curry doing tricks together are the product of PR tricks. But the eyes that Stephen Curry looked at his wife never knew how to lie.

“Honestly, I don’t remember the first time I met Ayesha,” Stephen Curry joked.

It was in 2002 that his father, former NBA player Dell Curry, moved from Toronto to Charlotte. Stephen Curry was only 14 years old at the time and joined the Central Church of God’s youth group. And according to everyone, that was the first time Stephen Curry met Ayesha.

“At that time we were just kids. Stephen was a cute boy with a baby face that made girls easily impressed. I thought this might not be the guy for me,” Ayesha Curry recalls.

Contrary to her thoughts, Ayesha still couldn’t stop paying attention to Stephen. They rarely talk to each other, but little Ayesha still knows how to “flirt” with her target.

One time, just visiting her hometown in Toronto, Ayesha returned to Charlotte with a basket full of candy. She knew that when he was in Toronto, Stephen Curry loved Maynards Fuzzy Peach candy.

“That was her way of “flirting” with Stephen. Ayesha often arranged to meet him after the prayers, giving him candy and saying a few words before leaving. Stephen clearly liked this. She left impressive for Stephen”, Sydel Curry, Stephen Curry’s younger brother, recounted.

From then on, the two started exchanging phone numbers and chatting with each other. “At that time we were quite shy and had to worry about going to high school so we didn’t talk too much together”, Stephen Curry shared.

After a while, in March 2008, things began to change drastically in Stephen Curry’s life. He led the Davidson College basketball team to the NCAA Elite Eight (quarterfinals). Slender student Stephen Curry was nominated for the title of Best Breakout Athlete at the prestigious ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.

“LA? That seems to be where Ayesha is”, the first thought that appeared in Stephen Curry’s mind when he heard the news of arriving in Los Angeles was about Ayesha.

After graduating from high school, Ayesha went to Hollywood to pursue her passion for acting. She is absolutely not incapable. Ayesha was accepted into the Arts York program in Canada and had several guest roles on the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana” and “Good Luck Charlie”.

Since Ayesha came to Hollywood, the two have even less contact than before. But Ayesha still has a certain place in Stephen Curry’s mind. To him, she was always a beautiful, intelligent, ambitious and sweet person to him. Of course, Stephen Curry started contacting Ayesha again via Facebook and met her in Los Angeles.

Ayesha still agreed to meet, but only because of the long-time-to-see-again relationship. Growing up, Ayesha understands more about love, about herself and sets principles in love. Among them, the most important rule is: “No player boyfriend”.

“At that time I didn’t even know what ESPY was. I didn’t like athletes because they were very arrogant,” Ayesha recalled.

Even Stephen Curry couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. Bringing an unknown team like Davidson University to the NCAA quarterfinals was enough to make Stephen Curry famous in the sports world. “But she really didn’t know anything. That gave me some quite new emotions,” Stephen Curry shared, half laughing and crying.

Ayesha came to pick up Stephen Curry in a ’95 Astro van. The two went to Hollywood Boulevard to drink Chai Tea Latte (a type of milk tea), and took pictures with Marilyn Monroe’s version. Stephen Curry also tried to impress Ayesha when he used the last coin in his pocket to buy her Oakland sun glasses. For Ayesha, the first date seems a bit cheesy.

However, she also gradually changed her prejudices about players. “He was so funny and sometimes a bit silly, completely different from what I imagined,” Ayesha recalled about their first date.

To Stephen Curry, Ayesha is special. She didn’t care if he just scored 30 points or just threw the entire game. The way she treats Stephen Curry has never changed. While out there, everyone sees him as the “golden boy” of Davidson College, Ayesha sees Stephen Curry as the man of her life.

After all, Ayesha was the one who proactively confessed her love to Stephen. However, she unexpectedly received a refusal.

“I confessed that I loved him. But Stephen said he had feelings for me too but didn’t want to tell him until he was sure about everything. That night, I drove came home and cried a lot,” Ayesha recalled the first time she was rejected by Stephen Curry. Despite this, the two continued their relationship.

A few months later, on Christmas Eve, the two families, who had known each other before, arranged to go to Stephen Curry’s house to watch a movie. At that moment, Ayesha was confessed to by Stephen Curry.

“The whole family was watching a movie when suddenly he leaned into my ear and said slowly, word by word: “I love you”. My parents were sitting there. His parents were also there. Brothers and sisters. We were all sitting there. I panicked and tried to act like I was okay, continuing to watch the movie. I knew at that moment, Stephen was sure,” Ayesha said.

On July 30, 2011, the two returned to Charlotte, returning to the old chapel where Ayesha gave peach candy to Stephen Curry. The second-year NBA player stood near the altar with a face full of worry.

The church door opened. Light from outside crept intermittently through the crack in the door. Ayesha slowly walked in. That day, she wore a thin white dress and a scarf that hid the smile inside.

“That day, I saw the most beautiful scene of my life. The image of you in a white dress is still in my mind like it was just yesterday,” Stephen Curry shared.

That day, Stephen Curry smiled foolishly like a boy who had just fallen in love for the first time.
