Supporters of the entrepreneur ran to the comments section to wish her little girl a happy birthday and wrote which family member they thought she favored the most. 

One fan commented, “She is too cute looking like Sydel! Happy birthday Ryan.” That comment was followed by one from someone else who agreed, “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

Sydel Curry is Steph Curry’s younger sister who happens to be a YouTuber. She has over 100,000 subscribers and even featured Steph and Ayesha in one of her YouTube videos. 

Many other fans agreed with the similarity comparison and also compared Ryan’s looks to Steph’s mother, Sonya Curry

“Aww she looks just like her auntie”

“She looks like her grandma Sonya”

“Looking like her auntie Sydel [heart eyes]”

“She’s Steph’s sister’s twin!”

“She looks like Steph’s mother!”

Stephen Curry shouted out his special girl as well in his sweet birthday message. 

“Special happy birthday and Lucky #7 for my Ryan! Love everything about this special girl [heart eyes emoji] [butterfly emoji] shine bright my baby”

Fans went back and forth in his comments section, trying to decide if she resembled him or Ayesha more. 

“Your twin”

“She looks like chef Ayesha”

“She looks just like you”

“So cute, perfect mix between both parents”

The public also wrote how fast time is flying as many remembered when Ayesha was pregnant with Ryan. 

“Seven!? I feel like she turned three a couple weeks ago”

“She was just three yesterday [sad face]”

“I feel like she was just born yesterday!”

Ryan celebrated her birthday with a huge cake, sandwiches and tea. 

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
