"Early arrival" - Stephen Curry shares first images of baby boy with emotional message

One of basketball's most popular families just got a little bigger after Ayesha and Stephen Curry announced the birth of their fourth child. The Golden State Warriors point guard announced on his official Instagram page, and in the process also shared his son's unique name.

According to Steph's post, his son Caius Chai Curry was born on May 11th. Aside from sharing his son's name, he also included a heartwarming caption to introduce the latest member of their family.

Here is what Steph said in his IG post.

"Our sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival!!" Steph posted. "He's doing great and we are finally settling in at home as a family of 6! So grateful!"

Ayesha announced her pregnancy in March by showing off her baby bump through her magazine 'Sweet July.'. With Caius' birth, she and Stephen Curry now have four children.

The couple did not announce when their son was due. What Steph is most likely referring to by saying his son made an early arrival is the fact that among all his kids, Caius is the only one who was born in a different month.
