Speaking with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Ayesha revealed that it is 'so embarrassing' now.
'When you are a teenager, you don't necessarily think about what you say, you tend to generalize,' she said before admitting that she had written 'NO ATHLETE, they're so arrogant' in capital letters. However, for her, it was a generalization. 'I think that's God's way of saying, don't judge a book by its cover, because I met my husband… I met my husband at 14 but I went on a date with my husband at 19,' she continued.

Curry family
. Ayesha thinks it is because they have been keeping it real with the fans. 'I think we try our best to keep it real. And we try our best to be nice people,' she told CBN's Efrem Graham.
'People look up to our family, but I think it's important for everybody to know that nobody is perfect, and we just try our best to live in the moment,' she added while revealing that they don't let the negativity and downfall in his career get in their minds.
Apart from being a proud mother and wife of the Golden State Warriors standout Stephen Curry, Ayesha is a businesswoman, actress, and self-made chef who turned her passion into a career. She began sharing recipes through her YouTube channel Little Lights of Mine in 2014, despite having no formal culinary training. Her easygoing style and relatable recipes led to a show on Food Network, Ayesha's Homemade, which debuted in 2016.
Alongside her TV work, she's also a successful cookbook author. Her first book, The Seasoned Life, came out in 2016, followed by The Full Plate in 2020. Through food, Ayesha has built a lifestyle brand that blends family, flavor, and hustle.

South Africa Thrash India In WCL; de Villiers Stars With 63 And Unbelievable Catch
SA vs IND: South Africa Champions go top of the table with dominant 88-run (DLS) win; India slump to bottom. AB de Villiers showed exactly why he's still revered as one of the most destructive batters in the game, smashing a sensational 30-ball 63 to guide South Africa Champions to a massive 88-run win (DLS method) over India Champions in the World Championship of Legends 2025 at Northampton on Tuesday. His knock, which included three fours and four towering sixes, came after a quiet return against West Indies in the tournament opener. This time, de Villiers was back to his vintage best, attacking from the start and energizing the innings. Strong Support from Smuts, Amla, and Rudolph De Villiers was ably supported by JJ Smuts, who struck 30 off just 17 balls, while Hashim Amla (22) and Jacques Rudolph (24) added vital contributions to help South Africa reach an imposing 208/6 in their 20 overs. Despite efforts from Indian spinners Yusuf Pathan (2/26) and Piyush Chawla (2/31), South Africa's aggressive approach meant India were always under pressure. India Falter in Rain-Hit Chase India's chase never got going. With captain Yuvraj Singh unable to bat due to a fielding injury, the team lost early wickets and struggled to gain momentum. Apart from Stuart Binny's unbeaten 37 off 39 balls, there was little resistance. Suresh Raina (16), Vinay Kumar (13), and Irfan Pathan (10) were the only others to reach double figures as India collapsed to 111/9 in 18.2 overs before rain ended play. The DLS par score was well beyond their reach. De Villiers Adds Magic in the Field To cap off a memorable night, de Villiers also contributed in the field with a sensational relay catch on the boundary, proving he's still sharp and agile despite being retired from international cricket since 2021. South Africa Go Top, India Hit Rock Bottom With this win, South Africa Champions now sit comfortably on top of the points table with two wins in two matches. India Champions, meanwhile, have just one point from two games and are placed at the bottom. The performance reaffirmed South Africa's status as early title contenders, driven by the brilliance of their legendary skipper AB de Villiers.
