What age did Steph and Ayesha get married?
When he was 15 and she was 14, Stephen Curry and Ayesha Alexander first met in high school. The NBA player said that they didn’t begin dating for another four years on a podcast episode of All The Smoke in which he discussed their love story. Ayesha had relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting at the time, which Steph learned while she was there for the ESPYs. They went on their first date on Hollywood Boulevard after he contacted her and asked her to show him around the city.
When they exchanged vows in July 2011, when they were both in their early twenties, they were both certain that their union was the one. Even though they weren’t aware of it at the time, Steph remembered with affection how their parents teased them about their compatibility. Steph continued to attend neighboring Davidson College while Ayesha returned back to Charlotte, North Carolina, allowing their romance to develop.
Ayesha disclosed a link between them in an interview with The Charlotte Observer, they both had previously resided in Toronto, Canada. Fans like the pair, who are known for their wholesome image and have been in love for more than ten years.
