In a surprise revelation that has fans buzzing and Steph Curry doing a double take, Ayesha Curry has finally spilled the tea on which of their four children is most like the Golden State Warriors superstar — and apparently, it’s not the one everyone thought!
The Currys, often hailed as the NBA’s first family, have long captured the public’s heart with their picture-perfect Instagram posts, adorable family videos, and rare glimpses into their chaotic yet charming household. But according to Ayesha, beneath the sweet smiles and sibling squabbles lies one mini-Curry who’s quietly turning into Steph’s spiritual twin — and Steph himself was completely blindsided.
Not Riley, Not Canon — So Who Is It?
“When people meet our kids, they always assume Riley is the most like Steph,” Ayesha told GlowUp Weekly in a new interview. “She’s outgoing, confident, she stole the show at those press conferences back in the day. But honestly, Riley is me all day. That girl has my sass, my humor, and my side-eye.”
As for Canon, the couple’s only son until baby number four arrived recently, Ayesha says he’s the physical spitting image of Steph — but the similarity ends there.
“Canon looks like his daddy, sure. But personality-wise? He’s way more chill. He’s my softie. He’ll give you hugs before he gives you buckets.”
So who is the Curry kid that’s eerily similar to the two-time MVP?
Cue the Plot Twist: It’s Little Ryan
Ayesha dropped the bomb: “It’s Ryan. 100% Ryan. That girl is her father’s clone and he didn’t even realize it.”
Ryan Carson Curry, the couple’s second daughter, has often flown under the radar compared to her older sister’s viral fame and Canon’s boyish charm. But insiders say Ryan has been slowly but surely asserting herself as the true Curry prodigy — with a scary level of determination, quiet competitiveness, and laser focus that’s got even Steph raising an eyebrow.
“She doesn’t need to be the loudest in the room,” Ayesha said. “She just watches… and executes. It’s kind of scary. That’s Steph!”
According to Ayesha, Ryan has already developed a weirdly intense interest in practice routines — whether it’s ballet, piano, or even brushing her teeth.
“She’ll stand in the mirror for 20 minutes trying to get the angle right,” Ayesha laughed. “And I’m like, girl, it’s toothpaste, not a free throw.”
Steph: “Wait… She Does Do That”
When asked how Steph reacted to the revelation, Ayesha couldn’t help but laugh.
“I told him one night, ‘You realize Ryan is basically you, right?’ He paused for like 10 seconds, then said, ‘No way.’ But the next day, he watched her doing this weird footwork thing in the backyard, trying to mimic one of his dribbling drills. And he just turned to me like, ‘Oh my God.’”
Steph has since admitted that Ryan might just be the “sleeper” of the Curry bunch.
“She’s low-key intense,” he told Baller Beat. “She’s quiet, but she’s studying everything. That was me when I was a kid. I didn’t talk much — I just watched and learned. That’s Ryan.”
Ayesha’s Mom Radar Was Spot On
Ayesha insists she’s been watching this dynamic play out for years.
“Moms know. We see things. I’ve always known Ryan was Steph in disguise. But she’s got her own twist too — a little more drama. She’ll break down in tears if her sock has a wrinkle, but then five seconds later she’s dunking on her brother in the playroom.”
Family friends say the connection is undeniable.
“She’s got that same fire in her belly Steph had when he was her age,” said Sonya Curry, Steph’s mom. “She’s just quieter about it. But don’t let that fool you — that girl’s got ice in her veins.”
A Baby Fourth Curry Joins the Mix
The Curry household recently grew by one more with the arrival of baby number four — a daughter whose name has yet to be publicly revealed. Naturally, fans are already placing bets on which parent she’ll take after.
“I’m just hoping this one sleeps through the night,” Steph joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I don’t care if she’s like me, Ayesha, or the neighbor down the street — just please let me get six hours.”
But Ayesha isn’t done playing personality detective. “It’s too early to tell with the baby,” she said. “But something tells me she’s gonna throw us for a loop.”
Social Media Reacts: “Ryan Is the Curry Clone?!”
The revelation lit up social media, with fans rushing to share their shock, amusement, and conspiracy theories.
“RYAN?! I did not see that coming!” one fan tweeted. “I always thought it was Riley with the Steph energy!”
Another joked, “So Riley is the showman, Canon’s the teddy bear, Ryan’s the assassin, and baby #4 is TBD. The Avengers of NBA offspring.”
Even NBA Twitter chimed in with takes. “Steph’s middle child is the one with the killer instinct? Of course. That’s some middle-child magic right there.”
What’s Next for Ryan?
While Ayesha and Steph insist they’re not pressuring their kids to follow in any footsteps, it’s clear they’ve got a superstar in the making — whether on the court, the stage, or in a boardroom.
“We don’t push sports on them,” Steph said. “But if they want to pick up a ball, we’ll be right there.”
Ayesha echoed the sentiment. “It’s not about what they do — it’s about who they are. But Ryan? She’s got that Curry DNA in full force. Whatever she ends up doing, she’s gonna own it.”
The Curry Legacy Continues
With four kids, two wildly successful careers, and what seems like a limitless amount of love (and snacks), the Currys are proving that their dynasty is about more than just championships and cookbooks.
It’s about raising the next generation — even if they don’t realize how much of themselves they’re passing on.
“Steph sees himself in Riley because she’s loud. But Ryan’s his quiet mirror,” Ayesha said. “And sometimes, that’s the scariest — and most beautiful — reflection of all.”
One thing’s for sure: if Ryan’s even half as good at three-pointers as she is at mimicking Steph’s intensity, the WNBA better start making room now.
And as for Steph?
“I guess I need to start watching my back — or at least my socks. Ryan’s already copying my pregame routine. Next thing you know, she’ll be asking for a tunnel shot.”
