Stephen Curry wife Ayesha rejected him first time he went for a kiss

Stephen Curry wife Ayesha

Stephen Curry has always been smooth on the basketball court, but there have been times where he can’t find the same kind of rhythm off of it.

Just ask his wife.

In an entertaining interview with Alan Shipnuck of Parents Magazine, Curry and his wife Ayesha opened up about their personal life and how their marriage came about. The two were in the same church group together as teenagers, but it wasn’t until Curry was a junior at Davidson that he reconnected with Ayesha on Facebook and asked her out.

At first, Ayesha thought Stephen had asked her to hang out as friends. But when he tried to plant one on her, things got awkward in a hurry:

Fast-forward a few years. Stephen is a rising junior at Davidson College [in North Carolina], you’re pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles, and he comes to town for the ESPYS sports awards show. He found you on Facebook, and you spent a day hanging out—does that count as your first date?

AC: I mean, it was friend vibes … until I dodged his first kiss.

SC: Yep. I struck out.

We need the play-by-play.

AC: He was in mid-conversation and came flying at my face like a thief in the night. So I was like, No. Then I thought, “Oh, I didn’t know this is what was happening.”

How about that — Stephen Curry got SHUT DOWN the first time he tried to kiss his own wife. Who woulda thunk it?

Nowadays, Stephen has a tattoo honoring his wife since he can’t wear his wedding ring while he plays. The couple has two children, Riley and Ryan, together. And have you seen the way Ayesha goes nuts celebrating Steph’s big plays? I guess you could say they have come a long, long way.
