Stephen Curry has built an astonishing legacy on the NBA hardwood. However, away from the spotlight, his most demanding role happens at home. The Golden State Warriors star is the father of four children with his wife, Ayesha Curry, and he admits that life beyond basketball is filled with unpredictability, laughter, and plenty of lessons for the 37-year-old.
In a recent interview, Curry shared details of parenting with his wife.

The four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry says raising children at completely different life stages has shaped him as a parent. His oldest daughter, Riley, is now 13, Ryan, 10, and Canon, 7, while his youngest, Caius, is just 15 months. “Every day is a wild experience, and I’m enjoying every little bit of it,” Curry told PEOPLE. “Fans would see there’s no such thing as balance, but you try every day to figure it out.”The spread of ages, Curry explains, forces him and Ayesha to adapt constantly. “Your ability to communicate and build trust with each one individually — like, you set up rules for the house, but each one has to be parented a little differently. That’s the cool part of the experience as a parent, and I’m loving every single minute of it.”Beyond the challenges, he says the true reward is watching his children grow into unique personalities.
“They all teach me something every day… they’re hilarious — they ask questions that make you think. They all came from the same place, but they have such different personalities.”

Curry also points out that consistency is central to how he and Ayesha raise their family. One rule they enforce is a strict no-games policy on school nights. It’s a tradition he borrowed directly from his parents, Sonya and Dell Curry.“That’s the one part of the parent playbook that we kept — just cut, copy, and paste,” Curry said.
“On school nights you gotta make sure you’re getting your rest so you can get to school, have a good time, and learn.”Still, when game days roll around, rules soften. “They’re spoiled when they come to games,” he joked. “They try to get every snack, candy, treat — whatever you wanna call it. There’s really no limit at games ’cause I want ’em to have fun.”Also Read: "Mind your fkn business"- Stephen Curry's heartwarming defense of Ayesha Curry gets instant support as Killer Mike faces wrath from fans onlineCurry and Ayesha have been one of the NBA’s power couples, and they are certainly the proud parents.
