Steph Curry is a man of family and faith, and he is so dedicated to his wife Ayesha that he has a tattoo tribute to her for when he is playing ball.
When the league MVP is playing, he does not wear his wedding ring. In its place he has a tattoo with wife Ayesha’s first initial — “A.” Curry got the tattoo in 2014 and it has been visible throughout the season in which he won his MVP award.
Curry has known his wife since he was in high school, though they didn’t begin dating until college. The two got married in 2011 when Steph was 23. In an interview on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger,” Curry explained why he married his wife so young.
“Why waste time when you’ve found the right one, right? I knew. I had met my wife in high school and knew her story and her family what she was about. Very faith-orientated woman. She was so driven. We didn’t date through high school, but we got to college and met ‘again’ out in Los Angeles for the ESPYs after the tournament run. She was living out there and pursuing her acting career. That was kinda just faith right there. Two kids from Charlotte meeting again in LA on a whim. Dated for three years. When I got to Golden State, I knew I found the right one so I didn’t want to waste anytime.”
Ayesha had the couple’s first child, baby Riley, in 2012.
As we shared two years ago, Steph and his wife Ayesha have matching tattoos in Hebrew on their wrists. Read more about those tattoos: Steph Curry wrist tattoo in Hebrew.
Ayesha Curry has a few other tattoos besides the Hebrew one on her inner wrist. She also has one on her left outer wrist:
And Ayesha Curry has a tattoo on the inside of her right forearm near her elbow.
The tattoo above has the following meaning for Ayesha:
“My new little reminder to be present. We get so wrapped up in what needs to happen next that we forget to enjoy the beauty of what’s happening right NOW. Right here, right now. Enjoy the blessings you already have.”
