The happy and fulfilling life Ayesha and Stephen Curry share, both around the game and outside, is no secret. Occasionally, we get to see more personal glimpses of their dynamics as a couple. Needless to say, their relationship has blossomed and reached the realms where they are both comfortable with each other’s quirky eccentricities. Curry’s favourite apparel, for instance, is something that annoys Ayesha. But she cracks a joke or two about it.
In 2022, the pair had a tell-it-all interaction during a Couples Quiz with GQ. While answering a question about Steph’s favorite wardrobe item, she revealed that it is a pet peeve for her.
The Warriors star’s wife first guessed it as his Curry brand sneakers, which turned out to be wrong. She then guessed it was his favorite Lululemon boxers. But this was also the wrong answer.
When Steph finally revealed the right answer: any hoodie, she reacted strongly, while pulling Curry’s leg. Ayesha replied:
“This is a pet peeve. It drives me insane. He falls asleep all the time in hoodies and I have maybe like 50-60 videos on my phone where I catch him like he’s falling asleep in a hoodie and I’m like ‘Another night, another hoodie’. And I’m gonna like compile all the videos of him to make one big video of him. One big video of him sleeping in these hoodies. It drives me insane.”
Steph’s hoodies seem to have bothered Ayesha for a while, considering she has recorded around 50 to 60 videos of him falling asleep in them. Curry had a valid reason to pick hoodies as his favorite.
“I can never be too warm,” he said.
Curry loves wearing hoodies all the time
Curry pairs hoodies with almost everything. He would probably play in them too, if that was allowed. During an interview last year, the four-time NBA champion said, “My go-to 0ff-court outfit is… a hoodie with shorts, jeans, or sweatpants. Every season is hoodie season.”
The Warriors star even used it to commemorate his first Olympic Gold medal after the 2024 Games in Paris. He released a hoodie that had, Night Night, his signature phrase after a big shot, written on it. Albeit in French: Nuit Nuit.
This ‘love affair’ with the humble and basic hoodie notwithstanding, Steph has an elaborate and quite fashionable wardrobe. His red-carpet fits and his bold suits during the Met Gala have always been applauded for their simplicity and elegance. So, when the occasion calls for, Steph does take it up a few notches.
Having said that, there is no escape on the cards for Ayesha. Steph’s hoodies are here to stay, a lifelong affair.
