Stephen and Ayesha Curry's Relationship Timeline: From Meeting as Teenagers to Sharing 4 Kids
2003: Stephen and Ayesha Curry Met
Stephen and Ayesha Curry crossed paths for the first time at a church in Charlotte, N.C., when they were 15 and 14, respectively.
"She would find him after church, barely say two words, and, like, walk away. That's how she would flirt with him in a way. He clearly liked it. It left an impression," Stephen's sister, Sydel, revealed in the biography The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry.
Meanwhile, Ayesha described her husband as a "cute boy" that "all of the girls were obsessed with." Because of that, she reportedly thought Stephen was not for her — but that later changed.
July 2008: Stephen and Ayesha Curry Reconnected and Went on Their First Date
Five years after their meeting, Stephen and Ayesha reconnected when she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a modeling and acting career. She bumped into the professional basketball player who was in town to attend the ESPYs and receive the Breakout Athlete award.
Still, she had a "no athletes" policy when it came to dating at the time.
"My parents found this paper from my high school theater class where you had to write down what you wanted in a significant other," said Ayesha. "At the bottom, it said, 'No athletes because they're arrogant.'"
However, Stephen managed to change Ayesha's mind and invited her on their first date on Hollywood Boulevard. After a few outings, she finally expressed her feelings for him for the first time.
She told People, "I told him I loved him first and he said, 'I feel like I love you too, but I don't want to say it unless I'm sure because I just want to be sure that when I say it, I really mean it.' I got in my car and drove home crying."
Stephen also said those words to Ayesha while they were watching a movie with their parents near them.

Reacting to Stephen's proposal, Ayesha told BET, "He asked me if I knew where we were standing. It was the spot where we had our first kiss. He pulled me close and started saying all these sweet things and then dropped down on one knee. I was in a state of shock."
