How did Steph Curry meet his wife?

One of the most likeable and successful couple in the NBA, Steph met Ayesha in 2008, when he was only 20, while his now wife was 19.

A fortunate accident at a youth group at the church both their families attended. After 3 years dating, the sweethearts tied the knot in 2011.

Ayesha put a pause on her acting career on finding out she was pregnant with their first child in 2012, and now runs a successful lifestyle and food blog.

A happy family of 6- Steph, Ayesha, 2 daughters (Riley, Ryan) and 2 sons (Canon and Caius), where both often share their love for each other in the cheesiest ways on social media, ALWAYS rooting one another.

Before he became a global basketball icon and one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Stephen Curry was just a teenager with a quiet charm and a shy smile. And long before the championship rings, MVP awards, and roaring arenas, he met the girl who would one day become his wife — Ayesha Alexander — in the most unassuming place: church.

Steph and Ayesha first crossed paths as teenagers in Charlotte, North Carolina. Both were part of a church youth group, and while they were only 15 and 14 at the time, something sparked between them — even if they didn’t realize it yet. Ayesha remembers Steph as the “cute boy at church” who was too shy to say much. He’d try to impress her with goofy jokes, and she’d roll her eyes but secretly smile.

Life took them in different directions for a while. Ayesha moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, and Steph went to Davidson College, making a name for himself in college basketball. But fate, or maybe something a bit more magical, wasn’t finished with their story.

Years later, during a trip to L.A., Steph reached out to Ayesha. She almost ignored his message — she wasn’t into dating athletes — but curiosity won. They met up for a casual hangout, and this time, it clicked. Steph’s down-to-earth personality and sweet nature won her over, and their friendship quickly blossomed into something deeper.

They began dating, and the bond they built as teenagers helped them grow even stronger. In 2011, they got married, and together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and three beautiful children. Today, Ayesha is a successful entrepreneur and author, and Steph continues to light up the NBA. But through it all, their love story remains grounded in faith, friendship, and a connection that began in the most unexpected of places — a church youth group.
