Steph And Ayesha Curry Planned Their Fourth Baby Around The 2024 Olympic Games

A fourth baby meant careful planning for professional basketball player Stephen Curry and his wife, Ayesha Curry. In an interview with the Associated Press published on April 17, 2024, the 36-year-old Golden State Warriors point guard shared that the couple intentionally kept the months of July and August clear so it wouldn't affect his debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In March, the 35-year-old cookbook author revealed that she was pregnant via an Instagram post. This will be the couple's fourth child, who is due in June.

“We thought about it ahead of time, which was nice,” Steph said. “If the timing didn’t work at a certain month in the fall, we actually would have made a different decision knowing the Olympics were on the radar. So, thankfully, the Lord looked out for us and if everything goes to plan, I’ll be available this summer.”

Earlier in April, Steph was announced as part of Team USA's roster for the men’s basketball tournament in the Summer Games. Others on his team include LeBron James, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bam Adebayo, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, Kawhi Leonard, and Jayson Tatum.

The basketball player went on to express his desire to play in the Olympics. “I wanted to play in the last two that I was eligible for. Watching guys that I’ve been competing against the last 10 years all have that experience win gold medals, watching three of my teammates win gold medals, I knew I wanted to do that."
