Since the start of Steph Curry's career, his wife, Ayesha, has shown her support by watching his games and sitting next to him at key events. Now, the TV personality and restaurateur has peeled back the curtain on their relationship, particularly the text message that started it all.

On the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Ayesha shared the story of the Golden State Warriors superstar's first DMs with her.

"I was in this music video, and he was like, 'Hey, who is that in the music video, in the picture that you're in?'" she recalled on the podcast on Wednesday. "I'm like, 'Oh, it's Yung Berg.' And he goes, 'I should have known. He always has all the sexy ladies.' And I was like, 'What is happening right now?'"

Ayesha's appearance in the Yung Berg video is a timestamp of her career in the 2000s, when she was an aspiring actress appearing in projects like TV movies and short films. Incidentally, "Sexy Lady" (which Curry cleverly wove into his text message to Ayesha) was the title of a 2007 single that turned out to be one of Yung Berg's most successful tracks.

Although Curry and Ayesha had first met each other in North Carolina when they were 14 and 15, respectively, it wasn't until 2008 that they went on their first date. Two years later, the couple was engaged; in 2011, they tied the knot in Charlotte.

As Curry's NBA career flourished, his wife and children have risen in prominence as well. It's worth noting, of course, that their brood can be traced back to a playful, romantic exchange of DMs back in the late 2000s.

She added that getting pregnant with their first child, Riley, three months into their marriage was "not on my bingo card." Still, the 36-year-old mother of four expressed gratitude for the family she shares with Curry.
