Ayesha announced the big news in an interview with her lifestyle magazine, Sweet July, showing off her baby bump in a photoshoot.

The 34-year-old revealed that she and Steph decided to raise another child after realizing something was missing in their lives.

“For so many years, Stephen and I thought we were done,” the cookbook author and entrepreneur said.

“We said, ‘Three, that’s it, we’re not doing this again.’ And then, last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again.

“For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing.

“I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something.’

“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.”

Ayesha met Steph when they attended high school in Charlotte.

Although they knew each other at a young age, a romantic relationship didn’t spark till years later when they were both in California in 2008.

The NBA champ was playing basketball at Davidson and in Los Angeles because he was nominated for Breakout Star at the ESPYs.

Ayesha was modeling in the city at the time, not at all looking to date an athlete.

After the initial rejection, Steph tried asking her out once more on Facebook, Ayesha told People magazine.

The couple got married in 2011 and have three children – daughters Riley, 11, and Ryan, 8; plus son Canon, 6.

Steph says his children are not that impressed by his basketball skills at home.

“I don’t think they care too much about how many times the ball goes in the basket,” he told People.

The NBA icon added that at home “you’re just dad and that’s the best part about it.”

All three of the Curry children are into sports, with Riley finding a passion for volleyball.

“I’ve introduced pretty much every sport, for the most part, to all of them,” Steph disclosed.

“And Riley, she’s super into volleyball right now, and a light bulb went off, actually this year, where she’s excited to go to practice and dribbling or passing the ball around the house and all that type of stuff.”

“So she’s found something she loves, and she’s passionate about it, and she loves to work at it.”

Riley has also taken after her mother and become a keen chef.

“It’s going to be really interesting to see what path she takes because she can throw down in the kitchen already,” Ayesha told People.

“She made us this chicken piccata the other night from scratch.

“I did absolutely nothing. People were hitting me up like, ‘That was fake, right?’ And I’m like, ‘Absolutely not, no.’

“She did it from start to finish and it was absolutely delicious. I was so proud I could cry.”

Canon looks set to become a promising basketball player after bouncing two balls at the same time aged just three.

The Curry family now live in a $30million mansion in the nation’s priciest zip code in Silicon Valley.

The property, which lies within a 1.7-acre plot, contains seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a movie theater, a bar, a wine cellar, a swimming pool, and a sundeck.

The master bedroom has its own fireplace, wet bar, and a marble bathtub.

Meanwhile, the home has an unsurprisingly spacious atmosphere, including vaulted ceilings, and multiple large windows throughout adding a great deal of natural light.

Curry’s new addition to his family comes with the NBA star in the driving lane to become a billionaire thanks to a lucrative new deal with Under Armour.

The Warriors legend recently signed a new long-term partnership with the sportswear brand, in which he will become president of his own Curry Brand.

According to Rolling Stone, the potential lifetime contract is worth potentially more than $1billion when annual base pay, stock equity, royalties on signature products and on-court incentive bonuses are tallied.

The deal includes $75million worth of shares in Under Armour.

Curry has already earned $350million in his NBA career so far – and he is due to pocket $470million by the end of his current contract in the 2025-26 season.

He also earned millions more thanks to his previous contract with Under Armour plus endorsements from the likes of Google, JPMorgan Chase, Rakuten, and CarMax.
