When they were youngsters in North Carolina, the couple first got together at church. Riley, a daughter of Stephen and Ayesha, was born a year after they were married in June 2011. In 2015, their second daughter Ryan was born, and in 2018, their boy Canon completed the family’s expansion.

Ayesha talked candidly in May 2021 about her early motherhood and how challenging it was to balance her work and her children’s needs. After starting a recipe blog that eventually became an empire with restaurants, cookbooks, and a TV show, she eventually discovered her passion.

 

Stephen, a nine-time NBA All-Star, has demonstrated a mastery of balancing his demanding career with parenthood, despite his admission that his children aren’t very pleased with his basketball prowess.

“You’re just dad and that’s the best part about it at home, so I don’t think they care too much about how many times the ball goes in the basket,” he said.

Although Riley, Ryan, and Canon have been exposed to “pretty much every sport,” Stephen is more focused on ensuring that Riley, Ryan, and Canon enjoy their childhood than pursuing their athletic goals.

Oct. 20, 2023: “We’re all backyard sports right now,” he said to PEOPLE. Nothing very planned. There is still plenty of time. More importantly, it’s about boosting their self-esteem and capacity for joy in all they do.”

 

Here’s all you need to know about Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s three children, from going to Golden State Warriors games to discovering their own passions.

Riley and her parents have had a number of wonderful experiences together throughout the years. Along with Stephen, Ayesha, and her younger sister Ryan, she attended the 2022 ESPY Awards and posed for pictures in matching black-and-white ensembles with her family.

Regarding her hobbies, she’s also adopting traits from both her parents. Although Riley is “interested in volleyball,” Stephen has stated that there is “no pressure” on his kids to follow in his basketball career. Riley is gaining culinary skills in addition to her physical prowess, following in her mother’s footsteps.

Ayesha told PEOPLE of Riley in June 2022, “She can throw down in the kitchen already, so it’s going to be really interesting to see what path she takes.”

“She made us this chicken piccata the other night from scratch,” she said. “I didn’t do anything at all. ‘That was phony, right?’ was the question that people were asking me. And I reply, “No, absolutely not.” It was very tasty and she made it all the way through. I could have cried from pride.”

Following the Golden State Warriors’ victory against the Sacramento Kings in game five of the NBA playoffs on April 23, 2023, Riley and Stephen gave the audience a special handshake.

Riley’s birthday was July 20, 2023, and Ayesha honored him with a charming Instagram post. She posted some recent pictures of her kid, including a cute one of the two of them enjoying dessert while relaxing in bed. “At age eleven, my firstborn! It’s unbelievable to us. It seems like time has flown by,” she captioned the photo. “I am so proud of my sweet, smart, talented, captivating big girl.”

“So she’s found something she loves, and she’s passionate about it, and she loves to work at it,” he explained.

Carson Ryan Curry, eight

Ryan Carson Curry, Stephen and Ayesha’s second daughter, was born on July 10, 2015.

“I’ve had enough.” I am grateful! In addition to posting a picture of Riley cuddling her new baby sister, Stephen announced Ryan’s birth on Instagram with the caption, “God is Great.”

Ryan “is still figuring out if sports is her thing or not,” according to Stephen, but the little child has supported her dad on the basketball court many times as she’s grown up. She has watched several of Stephen Curry’s postseason runs with the Golden State Warriors from the sidelines with her mother and sister, and she has already been to several triumph parades following the team’s championship run.

Ryan enjoyed a cute moment with Stephen when she was pictured giving him a high five from the audience following game five of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs, ahead of her dad’s 2022 NBA Finals victory.

In May 2019, Ryan and Stephen had already demonstrated their strong father-daughter relationship when the NBA player demonstrated that he was almost as good at taking care of his hair as he was at making baskets. The point guard was spotted pulling Ryan’s hair into a ponytail during a Stephen vs. The Game episode while Ryan pleaded with her older sister to share her Doritos.

Ryan and her sister Riley are devoted members of Beyoncé’s Beyhive, just like their mother. Ayesha posted a cute video of the sister duo responding to a special present from the artist in December 2020. Ryan cried, “Mommy, I love it!” as Ayesha showed him a black bodysuit with sheer sleeves that she was wearing from her new Ivy Park wardrobe.

Later on in the year, Ayesha shared a picture of Ryan and Riley having a good time while listening to Beyoncé’s song “Already.” “A little motivation for Saturday. My little girls. She said as the Instagram post’s caption, “They are LOVING Black Is King.”

In July 2022, Stephen and Ayesha celebrated Ryan’s 7th birthday by sharing touching messages on their Instagram pages.

“Our 7-year-old daughter! She is wise, kind, caring, intelligent, empathetic, and undoubtedly follows her own path.” I wrote, Ayesha. “We cherish our tiny butterfly. Myself and @stephencurry30 are ecstatic. 🥰🦋.”

Additionally, Stephen shared a picture of the birthday girl sitting in a golf cart with a peace sign raised.

He captioned the photo, saying, “Special happy birthday and Lucky #7 for my Ryan!!!” “Love everything about this special girl 😍🦋 shine bright my baby.”

W. Jack Curry Canon, 5

Stephen and Ayesha announced that their family was expanding once more in February 2018.

“Hey, how did this occur?🤷🏽♀️. Curry party of five,” Ayesha wrote as the caption for a picture of herself sporting the “PREGGERS” T-shirt, which Beyoncé famously wore when expecting twins.

Canon W. Jack Curry, the couple’s first child, was born on July 2, 2018.

Lаter thаt yeаr, аyeshа gаve PEоPLE аn explаnаtiоn fоr her sоn’s unusuаl nаme, reveаling thаt she аnd Stephen chоse the mоniker while оn their hоneymооn.

“We hаd his nаme picked оut аnd then we hаd аnоther girl’s nаme picked оut thаt we didn’t end up using fоr Riley,” she sаid. But Cаnоn never wаvered in оur suppоrt. Since Frаnce is оne оf оur fаvоrite trаvel destinаtiоns, Stephen wаs enthrаlled with his French nаme, which literаlly trаnslаtes tо “yоung wоlf.” We kind оf think оf оurselves аs а wоlf pаck.”

At four years old, Canon has already shown quite the personality; in August 2022, Stephen told PEOPLE that the little boy is his “most social” child.

The NBA player jokingly said, “He’s 4, so we start pre-K, and he thinks he started middle school.” “So it’s kind of funny, to see his energy in terms of, he thinks he’s the mayor of his school already and he hasn’t even shown up to campus yet.”

In addition, Ayesha called Canon “such a boy’s boy,” adding that despite some initial uncertainty regarding his father’s professional background, he has already taken an interest in basketball.

“Fоr the lоngest time аctuаlly, he thоught his dаd wаs а gоlfer becаuse оf the pаndemic аnd there wаs nо bаsketbаll in seаsоn,” she explаined. It hаs just dаwned оn him thаt his fаther аnd his uncles аre bаsketbаll plаyers. Fоr us, thаt hаs been exciting.

Ayesha showcased Canon’s remarkable abilities in June 2022 by sharing a video of the little child simultaneously dribbling two basketballs.

Ayesha captioned the photo, “Canon Jack out here stuntin like his daddy. 😍😆.”

Canon’s mother honored his fourth birthday in July 2022 by posting an homage to his developing talents on Instagram. “This youngster here is very aware of his goals in life, and we love to see him succeed in anything he sets his mind to, even if most days it’s just flipping bottles and cups 🤣. Which he’s SO GOOD at. Definitely ready for college 🤣🤣🤣,” she said as the caption for a picture of Canon grinning next to a balloon with the number 4.
