Ayesha Curry Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 4 with Husband Steph Curry: ‘Somebody Was Missing’

Ayesha and Steph Curry are growing their team!

The cookbook author, 34, is pregnant, expecting her fourth baby with her NBA star husband Steph Curry, 35, sharing the news in a cover story for Sweet July Magazine.

In the article, Ayesha shares that while she and her husband initially “thought we were done” with having kids, she says the two decided last year that “somebody was missing.”

In photos from the cover shoot, Ayesha bares her baby bump as she sits down at a table, wearing a white tank top pulled up above her stomach and a pair of striped pants pulled down low under her belly.

She also posed in a form-fitting orange dress, cradling her bump with one hand.

Ayesha and Steph are already parents to daughters Riley, 11, and Ryan, 8, as well as son Canon, 5.

In October, Steph spoke with PEOPLE about how he’s introducing his three kids to all different sports while at home.

“We’re all backyard sports right now,” said Steph. “Nothing too organized. Especially for Canon, he’s only 5. So we’ve got plenty of time. He’s an all-sports type of dude. But his attention span is just like a 5-year-old’s.”

“It’s more just confidence building and their ability to find joy in everything they do,” he continued. “I think that’s a huge part of kids these days, not feeling too much pressure on having to be successful or keep up with their counterparts.”

“I’m just trying to make sure that whatever they do, they’re having fun,” he added. “There’s lots being thrown at them on a daily basis and a lot of perceived pressures. So I’m trying to make sure they enjoy being a kid and finding joy in everything they do.”

In May 2021, Ayesha spoke about becoming a first-time mom at a young age, explaining how it was difficult to figure out her career while raising her children.

“What I started to realize was I was becoming this woman at such a young age when other people would still potentially be in college or just figuring out who they want to be,” she said during an episode of Skimm’d From The Couch.

She added that though she “thoroughly enjoyed being a mom,” she still had hopes of doing more. The young mom eventually found her passion after launching a recipe blog, which has since grown into an empire that includes multiple restaurants, cookbooks and even a TV series. Ayesha’s kids are also already following in her footsteps — she previously shared that daughter Riley has “insane” talents in the kitchen.
