Stephen Curry’s wife Ayesha Curry controls one side of Warriors star with a sweet romantic gesture

Ayesha Curry posted a poolside photo of herself and her husband ahead of the Warriors' new season. While the photo appears to be an usual romantic gesture for the NBA power couple, the caption revealed that she is trying to cut down Curry’s occasional drinking. One Hugo spritz for her. A water for "the gentleman." Stephen Curry is about to start his 18th NBA season, and the water went to him. The post follows the two-year extension Curry agreed to at the end of September. Kerr, the Warriors coach, has since described how family figured into that decision.What did Ayesha Curry's post say about Stephen Curry's season?The caption started with "Game day tomorrow!" and ended with the order, "1 Hugo spritz and a water for the gentleman please." Two face-holding-back-tears emojis sit in the caption too, which gives the order a softer tone. In the photo, the couple stands next to a pool before the Warriors' season.Fans could read it as the wife laying down a house rule. Curry has said in the past that alcohol is for celebrations and the NBA offseason, so water this close to a season was the player's own choice.The $116 million star has a reason to celebrate anyway. The two-year extension runs through the 2028-29 season, and getting it done before the season gave Curry the kind of occasion that the rule allows.How do Ayesha Curry and her four children influence Stephen Curry's Warriors tenure?Kerr revealed details of Curry household influencing Steph’s Warriors extension. Speaking about the coaching outlook for the new season, he recalled asking Curry at the end of last season whether leaving was a consideration. The first words back were "I'm not moving my family." Kerr said the reply reflects who Curry is as a father and as a person, and that it applied to the Warriors family too.Kerr is in his 13th season coaching Curry and says nobody in the organization ever believed the guard wanted out. He ranks Curry with Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles and Tim Duncan in San Antonio, a player whose name stays tied to one team.The contract fits that picture. Curry took less than the maximum he could have signed for, which gives Golden State more room to build around him. At media day, Curry called the Bay Area home and said finishing his career with the Warriors was at the front of his mind. The deal could carry him into a 20th season, all with one team, after four titles and two MVP awards since the 2009 draft.Kerr added that coaching Curry has been a stroke of luck he cannot picture any other coach matching, and he said that goes for the man as well as the player, after years of working together.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
