Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s Oldest Child Riley Is Seriously So Precious — See Her Cutest Moments!
The cutest lil Curry! Stephen and Ayesha Curry‘s oldest child, Riley, is spunky, fun and absolutely adorable. She has her mom’s signature sass and her dad’s unique eyes, but she definitely has her own personality.
The NBA baller and cookbook author welcomed their first little one into the world on July 19, 2012, and it didn’t take long for her to make her mark. Fans first met Riley as a toddler when Steph would bring her to his press conferences and her big attitude quickly stole the attention away from her famous dad. However, she soon needed to learn how to share the spotlight in her own household.
Steph and Ayesha welcomed second daughter Ryan in 2015 and rounded out their brood with the addition of son Canon in 2018. Riley didn’t struggle too much with the adjustment, as her mom says she’s always been a wonderful role model for her younger siblings and didn’t mind spreading the wealth when it came to attention.
“She’s the best biggest sister. Always helping out with her sissy and baby bro. I’ve dreamed of this. Love my babies,” the proud mom wrote on Instagram in March 2019.
The older she gets, the more Riley’s explosive personality shines. She has lots of hobbies, like horseback riding and helping her mom cook, and her fashion sense continues to get bolder. Her parents are always in awe of her, and they proved it with sweet messages on her 8th birthday in July 2020.
“This girl is just brilliant. She’s vibrant, smart and extremely precocious,” Ayesha wrote on Instagram to celebrate the special milestone. “We love our Roo so so much. Never a dull moment and no such thing as normal with this one. In her words … ‘what even is normal anyway mommy?’ preach baby girl.”
In his own sweet post, Steph added, “Fly high into your 8th trip around the Sun Riley Rooster 🎉😍. Love you Birthday Girl #unicorn #girldad.” We can’t wait to see what’s next for this little ball of energy!

THE FEELING IS MUTUAL
Ayesha adores what an awesome dad her hubby is. “The thing I love about him is that he’s not too cool for school,” she told Parenting magazine about Steph back in April 2016. “He’ll get down on the floor and play with the girls. He’ll put on dress-up clothes if he has to, and he’s very patient, which is something I’m not. We balance each other out.”
