In August 2025, actress and Steph Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry, was a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast. However, a clip from the conversation was reshared on X by @Fullcourtpass on October 4. At the beginning of the podcast, host Alex Cooper asked if Ayesha always wanted to have four kids and a big family, to which she replied:
“No. So I didn't want kids. I didn't want to get married. I thought I was going to be career girl and that's it. and I had my eyes set on my goals and I was never the little girl that like dreamt about the wedding dress and all of that and then it happened so early in my life. So, it's like it's one of those things like you don't know what you actually don't know what you want.”
Alex said she could also relate to Ayesha Curry in some way. As the conversation rolled on, Alex asked her a few parenting-related questions, one of which was about bribing her kids. The actress said it was when she paid her daughter, Riley, and niece to clean up the kitchen and living room. She jokingly said:
“Back in my day, I wouldn't have had that opportunity. I would have just had to do it.”
Alex Cooper then asked if Ayesha had found any weird items in her kids’ backpacks or pockets. Curry said she once found her pasties in her son’s pocket. She thought he must have found it in her purse or the counter where she kept them.
Ayesha Curry talks about marrying at 22
At one point during the conversation, Alex asked Ayesha how she was sure that she wanted to marry at 22. The actress said she wasn’t sure, but she loved Stephen Curry and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. When asked if either of them had hesitations about the decision, Ayesha Curry replied:
“No, and I say this all the time to our family. I'm like, ‘You guys, like 22. I'm like, you guys, I'm like, not one, not a single parent.’ Nobody was like, ‘Hey guys, are you sure?’ Everybody was like, ‘No, this is what's happening and we love you and and it's going to be great.’ It's just like, ‘Wow.’”
Ayesha Curry said that when she got married at 22, she was still young and inexperienced. She explained that people at that age can be different, but she was the kind who was still naive and not very polished, which made it an interesting stage in her life.
Alex asked what advice she would like to give others, to which Ayesha said:
“There's no such thing as a timeline, I think, is the bottom line. Things are going to shift. Like life is ebbs and flows and you just kind of have to roll with the punches. Sometimes stuff's gonna s*ck like but you can always recover.”
Ayesha Curry said sometimes people could feel like they are in their bubble or have the feeling of being isolated. She said, despite that, there would always be resources and one could find a community of people who had gone through similar situations.
