Ayesha Curry went viral for her comments about her marriage to Stephen Curry. The couple has been married since 2011 and have four children together: Riley, 12, Ryan, 9, Canon, 6, and 7-month-old Caius.
The mom of four told PEOPLE that she and the NBA star prioritize their marriage over their children.
“I think for us, our relationship always comes first,” Ayesha explained to People. “Then we’re parents. And that works for us because then you have two happy people raising the kids in the house. So the family sector in our lives always comes first.”
She continued, “And then honestly, it’s just surrounding ourselves with people that are smarter than us and know what they’re doing and can make the things run. And they allow us the space to be creative and they allow us the space to truly show up however we choose to. And I think that’s what’s really worked for us.”
The comments created a discourse online where some fans agreed with her sentiment while others slammed the couple for not putting their children first.
“That’s not a revelation. He should be first,” one fan commented in agreement.

“Ayesha Curry, you are so correct about marriage being the first priority over children,” another fan wrote. “A happy marriage makes a better situation for your children. Most people have no concept of what God expects and this is why 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and this is failure.”

One fan pointed out the contridictary statements that surface about marriages and what women prioritize over women. “Since this is about Ayesha Curry’s statements, let’s keep the subject on NBA WAGS. LeBron is 40. He said basketball comes before family, and no one batted an eye. Imagine if a mom said that about her career. It’s only women who are expected to put marriage first, not men.”

Not everyone was in agreement with the mom of four with one post that read, “I’ll forever believe this is such dangerous rhetoric because ain’t no way you should put any relationships before CHILDREN, your own flesh and blood.”
everyone agreeing in the comments is symbolic within itself… I’ll forever believe this is such dangerous rhetoric because ain’t no way you should put any relationships before CHILDREN, your own flesh and blood https://t.co/pHWCYk2rFJ

“I don’t agree. Kids should always come first,” another fan wrote. “So many people have abandonment issues BECAUSE of their parents so then they cling to their spouses at the expense of everyone else. Marriages end, parenting does not.”

Ayesha has been open about what makes her marriag e to Golden State Warriors star work: communication.
“We talk to each other all day. We check in with each other. I think we both do a really good job of taking into consideration the other person’s feelings and that makes us best friends first. All of that makes everything else work really, really well” she told First For Women last year.
Also being extremely attracted to your partner is always a plus the mom of four added: “And I think he’s super hot, so that also helps!”

RJ Luis Jr. played his college basketball at Massachusetts and St John's. He finished last year with averages of 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field and 33.6% from the three-point range in 35 games. On Wednesday night, the Boston Celtics officially announced that they had traded for Luis Jr. Via The Boston Celtics: "We have traded Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for RJ Luis Jr" Luis Jr. had signed a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz after going unselected in the 2025 NBA Draft. Via Jake Fischer of The Stein Line: "The two second-round picks Boston is sending Utah as part of the Georges Niang-for-RJ Luis Jr. trade are the 2027 most favorable between the Celtics/Magic, and the 2031 most favorable between the Celtics/Cavaliers, per source." While Luis Jr. is an intriguing prospect, the Celtics made the move to get off of Niang's contract. Via Yossi Gozlan of Third Apron Podcast: "The Boston Celtics reduce their payroll and luxury tax by a total of $50 million by trading Georges Niang. They’re now just $1.7 million above the first apron and $9.4 million above the luxury tax line. They also create a $8.2 million trade exception." The Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship over the Dallas Mavericks. They then lost to Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs (in six games).
Seventy players qualified for the first round of the playoffs at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, but only 69 will tee it up at TPC Southwind this week. That's because Rory McIlroy, who ranks second in the FedEx Cup standings behind only Scottie Scheffler, is skipping the first playoff event to prepare for the BMW Championship and Tour Championship. The PGA Tour isn't thrilled with his contentious decision. Peter Malnati, a PGA Tour pro and player director on the PGA Tour Policy Board, told Golfweek he's "very concerned" the new playoff format allows top players in the standings to skip playoff events. "I think there is stuff in the works, and I'll leave it at that," he said. The PGA Tour must make changes because McIlroy won't face any repercussions for skipping the FedEx St. Jude Championship. As the No. 2 player in the FedEx Cup standings entering the postseason, McIlroy is guaranteed to qualify for the Tour Championship. Before this year, he would've been incentivized to improve his spot in the standings because of the advantage the starting strokes format gave the No. 1 player. That's no longer the case. This year, the Tour Championship will operate like every other tournament on the PGA Tour schedule. There will be no starting strokes advantage for the top players, so every player from No. 1 to No. 30 will have an equal chance to win the $10 million prize. It doesn't matter where McIlroy resides in the standings. It just matters that he makes it to East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and he's already locked up his spot in the season finale. Why spend a week in scorching-hot Memphis when you could stay home and prepare for the tournament that actually matters, right? The new playoff format will make the Tour Championship more entertaining for fans, but it renders the other two playoff events irrelevant for the PGA Tour's top players. The Tour must make playoff events mandatory to prevent other stars from following McIlroy's lead.
Despite being viewed as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe ended up sliding into the third round. The 22-year-old who was the starter for Alabama for two seasons was selected with the No. 92 pick by the Seattle Seahawks. Although every player's dream is to go in the first round, Milroe likely couldn't have gone to a better situation. There is virtually no pressure on him as the Seahawks signed former Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Sam Darnold, to a three-year, $100.5 million contract this offseason, and also have Drew Lock, who has started 28 career games on the roster as well. However, based on ESPN's initial depth chart, Milroe may be climbing the depth chart sooner than most expected. Seattle Seahawks Depth Chart As reported by ESPN, the Seahawks depth chart goes as follows: QB1: Sam Darnold QB2 Jalen Milroe QB3 Drew Lock If this truly ends up being the case, Milroe has taken major strides following his final season at Alabama. During his final year in Tuscaloosa, Milroe was criticized heavily for forcing passes into windows that weren't there after being late on reads. In his final season at Alabama, Milroe threw a career-high 11 interceptions to just 16 touchdowns, an increase of five more interceptions than he threw in 2023. Although training camp is still ongoing and the preseason games have yet to be played, clearly, Milroe is finding some success in the pacific northwest.
Much has been said about the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver room in the offseason, but there is also still a lot to discover about the group. For one, rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, for all the hype he’s been getting, has yet to show what he can do downfield in an official NFL game. He will get his chances soon, though, with the NFL preseason coming up for the Packers and the 2025 NFL regular season just around the corner. Meanwhile, other wide receivers like Romeo Doubs are a known factor for the Packers, as he enters his fourth season in the NFL. Still, he must be motivated to have a big season ahead, considering that he has no contract beyond the 2025 campaign. Selected in the fourth round (132nd overall) of the 2022 NFL draft by the Packers, the former Nevada football star is hard at work in the offseason, improving his chemistry with his teammates, most importantly with star quarterback Jordan Love. Jordan Love, Romeo Doubs connect for spectacular touchdown at Green Bay Packers training camp During a recent training camp session, Doubs beat defensive backs Javon Bullard and Evan Williams downfield and caught a pass from Love for a huge 55-yard touchdown. A slo-mo video of that play was posted by the Packers on social media, particularly on X, leaving Green Bay and football fans buzzing. Last season, Doubs finished fourth on the team with 601 receiving yards to go along with four touchdowns on 46 receptions and 72 targets. He only played in 13 games, as he missed four games due to a concussion he suffered in a Week 12 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
