NBA star Steph Curry and wife Ayesha Curry recently celebrated their eldest daughter Riley’s 11th birthday July 19 with a heartwarming tribute
Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry‘s daughter Riley Curry is all grown up!
In fact, she turned 11 years old on July 19, with her mom sharing a heartwarming birthday tribute on social media in honor of the occasion.
“My first born is 11!!!” Ayesha wrote alongside recent photos of the tween. “We can’t believe it. Time has just flown by. I am so proud of my sweet, smart, talented, captivating big girl. It’s a joy being her mama. Riley Roo is 11!”
Riley, older sister to Ryan Curry, 8, and Canon Curry, 5, first won fans’ hearts when she was just 2 years old, going viral during an appearance with her dad she appeared with her dad at an NBA post-game press conference, interrupting him to say he was being too loud and to “be quiet.”
Days later, while appearing with Steph at another similar event, she stole the show again by quoting a lyric from Big Sean‘s “Blessings” into the mic.
Meanwhile, like many parents, Ayesha and Riley have over the years occasionally shared photos and videos of their kids on Instagram. In fact, Ayesha recently reflected on Riley’s viral moment more than a decade ago.
“When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become,” the Ayesha’s Home Kitchen host said in a May 24 interview with Insider. “If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don’t think we would’ve done it.”
She added, “But we were just genuinely living our lives back then. And we thought, ‘This is our kid. We’re bringing our kid along.'”

Equality Matters

And I want them to grow up believing that they can dream big, and strive for careers where they’ll be treated fairly. And of course: paid equally.”
