Married since 2011, Ayesha and Stephen Curry have grown up together. Meeting when they were at a church youth group as teenagers, they have since welcomed four children, celebrated nearly 15 years of marriage, and navigated fame and the spotlight it has put on their union. What keeps them strong is keeping things “spicy.”

“For us, it’s just not forgetting to date each other, make the time to get dressed up and go out and do all the things,” she said in 2022. “That’s what keeps it spicy.” It’s also important not to listen to outside noise. Despite unnecessary backlash that Ayesha has received in the past, Steph has been her biggest proponent, including for things as light as wearing a blonde wig and using an Instagram filter.

“You beautiful baby. And don’t you let anybody tell you differently ok? I mean it. There’s just a bunch of meanies out there and I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. Do you boo boo,” he commented on social media at the time. “P.S. If the wig falls off I won’t tell anybody, I promise. Pinky promise. It be hilarious though, but won’t anybody know. Wait- that’s been you in this bed the whole time??? I ain’t even know. Now I’m tripping.”

What makes the Currys a favorite is their ability to remain unbothered and focused on their family. They are harmless, and extremely lovable. And did we mention they look beautiful together? Should you need further proof of that to be in alignment, check out some shots of them from their early days of marriage to the present day.
