In addition to being a global superstar for his accomplishments on the court, Steph’s also a family man. Those who know him spoke about that in May 2021 when he was weighing a decision about whether or not to play in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
“I think he’s taking time to figure that out,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers told 95.7 THE GAME in San Francisco. “I don’t think (his) family can go, which people don’t factor in sometimes to these decisions. I know he will; that matters. But do you want to be away… He’s going to make the call that suits him best.”
Key to the Currys happy marriage
Ayesha previously spoke about some of the keys to her and Steph’s happy marriage.
“I want to say that we’re good communicators… that’s what keeps our bond strong,” she previously said during an interview with Hello Giggles. “Even when we don’t want to talk about something, we talk about it. Especially from my perspective, I’m a lay it all out on the table kind of girl, so whether it’s a tough conversation or an easy conversation, I never have a tight lip. I tell it like it is and I tell it straight, and ultimately I think it keeps things a lot better for us.”
Ayesha added: “The biggest thing, both of our parents are still married and have been married for 30+plus years, and the one thing that they both shared with us is just making sure that we put each other first, even before the kids, as tough as that sounds. Putting ourselves first, and making sure that we make time for date nights and for each other”.
“That’s been very important, as hard as it is. Because when you become a parent, you want to put your kids first, and we do, but we do it second to our relationship. Because ultimately, when our relationship is good, the kids are happy and they’re thriving and our family life is good. We have to put that into perspective and realize that it’s not us being selfish, it’s making sure we set a strong foundation.”
