A thin guard who is not favored has set off a small ball whirlwind in the NBA, won two regular season MVPs, four championships and one finals MVP, and obtained multiple maximum salary renewal contracts. He has earned 410 million US dollars in his NBA career so far. What’s more valuable is that he remains unchanged when he has money. He spent 17 years perfectly interpreting companionship is the longest confession. This high-quality idol is Curry. You may have heard his growth story countless times, so why not listen to the love story between him and his wife Ayesha Alexander.

The two first met in 2003, when Curry's father Dell Curry played for the Hornets, and their family lived in Charlotte. Curry, who was 15 years old, followed his family to a church in Charlotte and met Ayesha, who also came to the church with his family. Ayesha was 14 years old at the time, one year younger than Curry. Both of them were in love, but this encounter did not cause them to have too much interaction. Although they exchanged contact information on the spot, it was just out of the social dignity of chance meeting, but fate brought them together.

In the five years after the churches were separated, they all grew into outstanding talents in their respective fields. Before having the identity of "Curry's Wife", Ayesha was labeled as an actor, model and TV celebrity. In 2008, 19-year-old Ayesha had already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and was invited to participate in the Oscar ESPY award ceremony in the sports industry. Curry, who was 20 years old, became the top scorer in the NCAA, averaged 28.6 points per game and became the top scorer in the United States. He also contributed 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.5 steals, and won the ESPY Breakthrough Athlete Award. At the award ceremony, they met again and ignited the spark of love.

The first person to be moved was Curry. He took the initiative to ask Ayesha out for a walk. They went to Hollywood Avenue together and went to Madame Tussauds for coffee. Before meeting Curry, Ayesha was biased against athletes. In high school, the teacher asked them to write an essay titled "Describing what your future partner will look like". In the essay, she clearly stated that she would not choose athletes as her partner. In her opinion, most athletes are arrogant, rude and have low cognitive levels. There will be many problems together and are not suitable for being a life partner.

It was not until she met Curry that she gradually changed her perspective on the athletes because she found that Curry's private life was very clean, she was considerate and gentle when getting along with each other, and she was also very elegant in her conversation. She did not speak and do things like some athletes, and she also had plans for her future. She was a reliable man.

After staying together for a while, Ayesha was sincere to Curry, but she couldn't wait for Curry's confession for a long time. She was puzzled about what relationship they had. In the end, she said "I love you", but Curry did not agree immediately or refuse, but just said: "I think I love you too, but unless I confirm 100% of it, I won't say it. Because once I make up my mind, I won't change."

This vague attitude made Ayesha burst into tears. She felt that Curry was playing with her feelings, which made her more sure that athletes were not suitable for being partners. After that separation, she had not received Curry's message for a long time. Just when she thought the budding love had ended, Curry suddenly invited her to the movie. When she came to the cinema with a nervous mood, she found Curry's parents and siblings were there, and Curry confessed to Ayesha very formally in front of her family.

Ayesha then realized that Curry's previous vague reply seemed to be a quote from a scumbag, but in fact it was a manifestation of a man's responsibility. The man in front of her swore to her in front of her family that she would either not love her or love her for the rest of her life. Facing such a man, Ayesha had no reason to refuse.

After being together for a year, Curry entered the NBA as the No. 7 show, while Ayesha continued to work hard in the entertainment industry. Both of them had their own careers, but being together for a long time did not affect their relationship. They had to take time to talk to each other every day, convey their thoughts on the phone, and use trust to fight distance, and their relationship became better and better.

In 2010, Curry proposed to Ayesha at the door of her mother-in-law's house. This was the place where they first kissed. The moment Ayesha nodded with tears became Curry's most beautiful memory. On July 30, 2011, Curry and Ayesha officially got married. Curry was only 23 years old at the time and was still a rising NBA star. Many people don’t understand why he got married so early, but he answered, why do you waste time when you meet the right person?

Ayesha's entertainment industry and Curry's NBA are full of temptations, but they can keep themselves clean and write a love story. Ayesha reduced her workload and became Curry's gentle backing. She often cheered for her husband in the audience, then gave her husband a warm hug in the player channel, and confronted black fans online, and questioned on social media...

Curry responded to Ayesha's affection with his actions. He was not nostalgic for the lights and wine. He was always the first to go home after a game. Compared to the singing and dancing outside, he prefers to spend the two-person world with Ayesha, cook food together, dance with music together, and travel around the world together during the offseason. On social media, he never took care of the messages from internet celebrities, models or actresses, and did not give them an opportunity to take advantage of the family's financial power, Curry also gave it to Ayesha to manage.

When Ayesha gave birth to a child, Curry turned into a super dad, taking care of Ayesha and her children all day on her rest days. During the home game, he would go home and tell stories to her children to fall asleep after the game. With such a considerate husband, Ayesha was willing to risk and pain and gave birth to four children..

Curry and Ayesha's fourth child was born in May last year. They named the child Caius Chai (foreigners are first and last). The surname "chai" corresponds to the Chinese surname "Chai". This is because Ayesha's grandfather is Chinese and her grandmother is Jamaican. When Ayesha was very young, she often learned about her bloodline and Chinese culture from her mother. It is precisely because of this that they gave the fourth child a name with a Chinese surname, which can be regarded as the couple using practical actions to prove the Chinese bloodline and Chinese marks of the children.

Until this year, Curry and Ayesha have been together for 17 years, from a ignorant teenager to over thirty years old, from a two-person world to a warm family of six, Ayesha has gone from a star to a mother of four children, Curry has gone from being a thin guard who is not favored to an NBA superstar, time is passing, and many things are changing, but their love has never deteriorated, and they have always been loving as before. Their love story has no earth-shaking plot, but shining with long-lasting persistence.
