Ayesha Curry may be known to most NBA fans as Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry’s wife. However, Ayesha Curry has had a very successful career in her own right.

She is now an entrepreneur and TV personality who has become known for hosting a Food Channel program and selling cooking products. Here is how her career has progressed so far.

Ayesha Curry originally wanted to become an actress and moved to LA out of high school to try and secure a Hollywood career. She did pretty well for herself, earning guest roles on multiple shows, most notably "Hannah Montana" and "Good Luck Charlie." She also landed a lead role in a show called "Whittaker Bay," which lasted for eight episodes in 2008. However, she later shifted away from her acting career in 2010.

Ayesha Curry first met Steph Curry at the age of 14 in Charlotte, North Carolina. They later reconnected during Ayesha’s time in LA where their romance continued to blossom. This eventually prompted her to return to North Carolina, where the two married in 2011.

Following her marriage and the birth of her first child, Riley Curry, Ayesha then shifted her focus to one of her other talents. Steph Curry’s wife decided to start a cooking-related blog and YouTube channel called “Little Lights of Mine” in 2014. It was a simple light-hearted bog that gave her a chance to showcase her passion for cooking.

This later led to her receiving her own TV program on the Food Network in 2016. It was initially called “Ayesha’s Homemade” but was later renamed “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen.” Her show involves her preparing meals for Steph Curry and the rest of her celebrity family.

Later in 2016, Steph Curry’s wife published her first cookbook called “The Seasoned Life.” It would go on to become a New York Times Best Seller. The book is made up of 100+ recipes and even includes contributions from Steph Curry as well.

In 2017, Steph Curry’s wife was named a co-host for the third season of "The Great American Baking Show," before the show was canceled. Ayesha also appeared as a judge on the Food Network shows “Chopped Junior” and “Guy's Grocery Games.” In addition, she got the chance to show off her skills on “The Rachael Ray Show” and “Good Morning America.”

Later in 2017, Steph Curry’s wife then launched her own line of cookware that included kitchen necessities like pots and pans, as well as niche cookware like bacon grease jars. She also launched “Homemade,” a meal kit delivery service, designed for families with young children.

In 2020, Ayesha Curry then launched “Sweet July”, a brand that includes a lifestyle magazine and product line. Later in 2020, she launched her television film production company "Sweet July Productions," as well.

Ayesha and Steph have even recently entered the game show world this year. The couple now hosts “About Last Night,” an HBO Max game show where Ayesha and Steph put other celebrity relationships to the test.
