"I didn't want kids. I didn't want to get married," Ayesha said. "I thought I was gonna be a career girl, that's it, and I had my eyes set on my goals, and I was never the little girl that dreamt about the wedding dress and all of tha,t and it happened so early

Ayesha said that after she got married to Steph Curry in July 2011, she got pregnant with her daughter, Riley, very quickly. She added that after having her daughter, she lost sight of her own goals in life.

"I didn't even have time to think about what I wanted anymore. It's so interesting, I spent my entire life like trying to work towards something, and then it just kind of disappeared, and I didn't think twice about it."

However, Mrs. Curry added that after her daughter turned one year old, she felt different about being a full-time mom. But life never turned out to be how she had imagined after her marriage to Steph Curry.

"I remember being a shift like...this doesn't feel right. Like I love being a mom, but I love doing other things too and I need to get my sh** together and figure out what that looks like for myself now...I still experience that. Like, I am always in therapy talking about this," Ayesha added.
