‘I’m Not Crying’: Stephen Curry Surprised Ayesha Curry with Vow Renewal Ceremony with Kids After 10 Years of Marriage

Stephen Curry is showing he can wear many hats. Not only is he a professional basketball player for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and a co-owner of the production company Unanimous Media, but he’s also romantic.

His wife, Ayesha Curry, revealed on Sept. 21 that after 10 years of marriage, her hubby surprised her with “​​the most beautiful vow renewal ceremony.” She shared three photos from the ceremony with the first being a photo of her, wearing a white embellished dress, and Stephen, in a grey suit, standing across from each other in front of a wedding arch. Underneath the wedding arch stood their eldest daughter Riley, 9, who had the honor of officiating her parents’ vow renewal.

But Riley wasn’t the only one who got to be a part of the special moment. The Curry’s other two children, Ryan, 6, and Canon, 3, were also in attendance. Ayesha said that her youngest daughter and son “walked me through the grass of our backyard.” As if planning the event and involving their kids weren’t enough, Ayesha said Stephen took it a step further and “picked out my dress for me and had it waiting 😭.”

In the remainder of the caption, Ayesha continued to reflect on the beautiful moment. “It’s everything I’ve always dreamed of but didn’t know could be possible in this way. A moment I will never forget. I love you @stephencurry30.” The second shared photo is a close-up of the love birds. Stephen is looking directly into the camera while his wife looks at him.

The final post was a carousel of photos with the two dancing together and eating. She also had a solo black-and-white photo with her lying back on a bed in the dress her husband bought her. One fan reacted to the lovely photos saying, “So EPIC!!!!! He is such a sweetheart!!! Xoxo” Another said, “That’s too sweet. He understands how to be a mate and a husband.. you never stop surprising, dating and loving on your mate/spouse!!! ❤️ 📝.” A third said, “I’m not crying at all! 😭😭😭😭😭”

Ayesha and Stephen’s love story began when they were teenagers attending a church event for the youth in North Carolina. They were friends first, then dated years later. Eventually, as they got older and began pursuing careers, they lost touch. However, they reconnected in Los Angeles when Stephen was in town for the ESPY Awards and Ayesha was there for her acting career. After giving him the runaround, the two finally dated in 2008 and by July 2011 they were married.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
