Power Couple Stephen and Ayesha Curry Face Wave of False Rumors Amid Strong Marriage
NBA superstar Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha continue to be one of basketball’s most beloved power couples, yet they’ve recently found themselves battling an onslaught of fabricated quotes and divorce rumors circulating across social media.
The couple, who met as teenagers and have been married for more than a decade, are now parents to four children. Despite their strong family foundation, they’ve become targets of increasingly persistent online speculation.
The latest controversy erupted when an X (formerly Twitter) user posted a collage of the couple with a fabricated quote claiming Ayesha had revealed her “favorite thing about Steph Curry” was “his bank account.” This statement was never actually made by Ayesha, as no credible sources have reported such comments.
This fabricated quote represents just one incident in a pattern of misinformation targeting the couple. The rumors gained momentum following Ayesha’s appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast two months ago, where she spoke candidly with host Alex Cooper about her evolving views on marriage and motherhood.
During that interview, Ayesha reflected on how her life plans changed unexpectedly, saying, “I didn’t want kids. I didn’t want to get married. I thought I was going to be ‘career girl,’ and that’s it. After we got married, we found out we were pregnant so quickly, I didn’t even have time to think about what I wanted anymore.”
While these comments were genuine, they were subsequently taken out of context by various social media accounts and tabloid outlets, fueling baseless speculation about trouble in the Currys’ marriage.
The couple has responded to the rumors indirectly. Stephen recently shared a touching Instagram post featuring a photo with Ayesha and a heartfelt message: “Life’s been throwing some jabs recently, but it’s always a reminder that I got my backbone and my rock with me through it all. Love you, my woman.”
Shortly afterward, Ayesha posted a family photo showing the couple with their four children—Riley, Ryan, Canon, and infant Cai—captioned simply, “Life lately.” These public displays suggest the couple remains united despite the swirling rumors.
Adding to the mix of online chatter, an old interview of Ayesha from the now-discontinued “Red Table Talk” series has resurfaced. In this interview, she discussed the attention Stephen receives from other women, candidly admitting, “There have been a couple of times where I’ve wanted to punch somebody in the face for sure.” She added with humor, “He can’t see it coming, I see it from a mile away.”
These comments, while years old, have been recirculated in recent weeks, creating the impression they were made in response to current events.
The Currys represent a significant cultural touchpoint in sports and entertainment. Stephen, widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, has transformed the game with his unprecedented shooting ability while playing for the Golden State Warriors. Ayesha has built her own empire as an entrepreneur, cookbook author, and television personality.
Their relationship has long been viewed as a model of stability in the often tumultuous world of professional sports, making them particularly susceptible to clickbait headlines and manufactured controversy.
Sources close to the couple indicate they are still living together with no plans for divorce, contradicting the rumors that have gained traction online. The false quotes and speculation appear to be primarily driven by social media accounts seeking engagement through sensationalized content.
As the NBA season approaches, the Curry family continues to navigate life in the public eye while maintaining the strong partnership that has characterized their relationship since their teenage years.
