Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry have a strict ‘no phones at dinner’ policy

Steph and Ayesha have known each other since they were teenagers. In the early parts of their relationship, they focused on building their friendship first, which has been a major factor behind their successful married life.

Despite their busy schedules, Steph and Ayesha are well in touch with each other and their family. The secret behind the same? A simple rule at the dinner table.

Once Ayesha was promoting her children’s cookbook when she explained a ‘no phones at the table’ rule that was mentioned. Ayesha shared how the same wasn’t directed at their three kids, but at her and Steph.

“The toughest one for us to follow is no phones at the table. Of course, there are those moments when the kids do something super cute, and you just have to record it. But we try to implement the no-phones rule. Our kids love being at the table together, talking about their day, singing songs, and telling jokes. It’s a special time.”

It’s a simple rule that is often one of the toughest to follow. Phones have become such important pieces of our lives, that we end up spending big chunks of our days on them. For someone of their stature and with their busy schedule, one can imagine the nonstop texts and calls.

However, this key time spent with the family and the kids, especially in their formative years, would set a trend for the longer run, and instill this good practice in them as well.

Why did Ayesha almost not date Steph?

Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry met each other when they were just teenagers. Back then, in high school, they were asked to write down what they were looking for in a significant other. While others wrote down what they wanted, Ayesha knew what she didn’t want. She wrote, ‘No Athletes because they’re arrogant.

Fast forward a few years, and she ended up breaking her own rule when she started going out with Steph. Despite a rather disastrous first date, the two made it through, and well, now they’re the power couple we know them to be.
