Stephen and Ayesha Curry: A Timeline of Their Relationship
“I think I was dumbfounded,” Ayesha said when she was asked her reaction to the track on the Monday, March 11 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
“That’s like our family,” she said about Drake, as well as producers 40 and Monsune, and their shared Canadian roots. “So I think I was appreciative that they, like, respect me so much that they feel that I’m a great wife.”
Last year, Ayesha and Stephen, 35, attended Drake It’s All a Blur concert at Barclays Center in New York City, and the five-time Grammy winner left the stage to come to their seats and introduce them to the crowd.

“They say we look alike,” Drake said, referring to Steph, who smiled and caressed his beard. “Make some noise for my brother Steph Curry.”
Drake also gave a shout out to the 4-time NBA champion’s wife. “And, of course, the lovely Ayesha Curry,” the rapper added.
Ayesha, who previously wrote two cookbooks, is now flexing her acting skills in the new film Irish Wish with Lindsay Lohan. She and Stephen share three children — Riley, 11, Ryan, 8, and Cannon, 5. Ayesha revealed to Sweet July magazine in a cover story published Friday, March 1, that they are expecting their fourth child.

The former Food Network star said that she and her husband “thought they were done” having kids, but decided to try for a fourth child.
Ayesha also explained how this pregnancy is a little different than the others.
“I’m in my 30s, and so there’s all this paperwork referring to the experience as a ‘geriatric pregnancy’ and all the concerns that come along with that,” she said. “I think there’s something that needs to be more nuanced when it comes to women, their age and conversations around having children. Many women in their 30s and 40s are going through this for the first time, and being told you’re ‘old’ feels alarming and wild.”
