Ayesha Curry Has Built a Culinary Empire on Her Own

The Golden State Warriors' dynasty brought fresh NBA stars to the forefront. Leading this breakthrough was Steph Curry, the three-point shooting, magic-dribbling, mouthpiece-chewing point guard. His sudden rise intrigued fans. They wanted to know more about the game's brightest young superstar. We knew he was a phenom at Davidson; we knew his dad played in the NBA; we knew he could hit a three from the parking lot. Those are great and all, but like any NBA star and a lead in an action movie, who is his love interest? Meet Ayesha Curry. Ayesha Alexander was born on March 23, 1989, in Markham, Ontario, Canada — a suburb 30 miles northeast of Toronto. She grew up an actress and played several guest roles in music videos, TV shows, and movies. Her first role was in the music video "Too Young for Love" by Suga Prince. At 14, Ayesha and her family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she met Steph in a church youth group. Ayesha moved to Los Angeles after graduating high school to pursue acting. She kept in touch with Steph, and the two officially started dating when the two-time NBA MVP visited LA for the 2008 ESPYS. Ayesha moved back to Charlotte while Steph finished his career at Davidson. They were married on July 30, 2011. The couple shares three children together; daughters Riley (born 2012) and Ryan (born 2015), and son Canon (born 2018). Riley gained fame for her appearances in postgame press conferences. Curry started her culinary career in 2014 by performing meal demonstrations on her YouTube channel, Little Lights of Mine. By 2016, she published her own cookbook entitled The Seasoned Life, detailing recipes and life with her family. Her successful cooking stints earned her an exclusive cooking show on the Food Network called Ayesha's Homemade (later Ayesha's Home Kitchen). The show ran two seasons, extending 13 episodes in total. She is the host and judge of ABC's Family Food Fight, which ran for eight episodes in 2019. In collabora
