There haven’t been many power couples in the NBA apart from Stephen and Ayesha Curry. The pair met at church in Charlotte, North Carolina. At that time, Steph was just 15, and Ayesha was a year younger. What makes their love story so interesting would be the fact that Ayesha did not want to date someone who was an athlete.
She said, “My parents found this paper from my high school theater class where you had to write down what you wanted in a significant other. At the bottom, it said, ‘No athletes because they’re arrogant.'” However, things worked out perfectly between the pair ever since they went on their first date in 2008.

Since then, Ayesha has been an absolute pillar of support for Steph, for his career and personal life. We can’t take away from the way the Golden State Warriors star supports his wife as well. Recently, Steph uploaded a picture on Instagram, celebrating 11 years of marriage with Ayesha.

Getting to spend my life with my best friennnnnd, my love, my rock, my everything. Every year just gets better! I am so grateful and feel so blessed. More than half way to 20! That’s crazy!!!

Steph and Ayesha have been one of the very couples that stuck with each other through many ups and downs. A few years ago, there were even rumors of the couple splitting up. But the Currys proved that what they have is more special than what anyone else could imagine.
