Ayesha and Stephen Curry’s family has joyfully expanded with the arrival of their fourth child. “Our sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival!!” the couple announced in a joint Instagram post on May 26.
The pair shared a black-and-white photo of their newborn son, Caius Chai. Ayesha had announced her pregnancy in March, explaining in her Sweet July magazine cover story why they decided to have another child.
“I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something,’” she shared. “But nobody was forgotten. It started to turn my brain a little bit. Maybe somebody was missing. So we set out on this journey, knowing that this would complete our family.”
Stephen and Ayesha married in July 2011 and have three other children: daughter Riley, born in July 2012; daughter Ryan, born in July 2015; and son Canon, born in July 2018.
Despite her experience with three previous pregnancies, Ayesha noted that her fourth was different.
“I think there’s something that needs to be more nuanced when it comes to women, their age, and conversations around having children. Many women in their 30s and 40s are going through this for the first time, and being told you’re ‘old’ feels alarming and wild.”
Ayesha emphasized that she “thoroughly enjoyed being a mom” and believed she could balance parenthood with her career, which she has successfully achieved through her culinary ventures.
