Despite once thinking they were done having kids, Steph and Ayesha Curry revealed Friday they’re expecting baby number four.
Ayesha, 34, announced the winning news in the debut digital issue of her Sweet July Magazine, which owes its name to her skincare line, Sweet July Skin.
“For so many years, Stephen and I thought we were done. … Then, last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again,” wrote the cookbook author, whose baby bump features prominently on the digital cover.
“For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing,” she continued. “I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something.’ But nobody was forgotten. It started to turn my brain a little bit. Maybe somebody was missing. So we set out on this journey, knowing that this would complete our family.”
Ayesha said this pregnancy, which she insists is her last, has shown her “how quickly time has gone by with our first three children, who are now self-sufficient and don’t need as much from us.”
She and the 35-year-old Golden State Warriors star are parents to daughters Riley, 11, Ryan, 8, and son Canon, 5. The high school sweethearts married in 2011 and renewed their vows for their 10th anniversary, which their eldest officiated.
“One of the biggest differences is a new understanding that this really does pass by in the blink of an eye. And in the blink of an eye, it could also all be taken away,” she said. “That’s encouraged me to slow down and take in every single little thing — especially with it being my last pregnancy. … This is such a sacred time in life that I know I’m never going to get back.”
