Ayesha Curry has rejected claims that she complained about motherhood after her 2025 interview with Alex Cooper resurfaced online. “I've never complained a day in my life. I was asked a question about what I envisioned for myself when I was a LITTLLE GIRL,” she wrote on X. The criticism followed her comments that she once expected to focus on a career rather than marriage and children. Her answer, however, described how her plans changed, not regret about her family.

Ayesha Curry Responds To Criticism Over Alex Cooper Interview

One X user wrote, “pray you NEVER marry someone like Ayesha Curry.” Another posted:

“Being a mom is the greatest job. Not always easy, but by far the most rewarding. Watching Ayesha Curry complain about motherhood is disturbing. Having a husband, beautiful children and the opportunity to be present while raising them are blessings so many women pray for. Motherhood requires sacrifice. We all know that. But your children are not the reason you missed out on life. They are part of the life God blessed you with. Imagine being so focused on what you think motherhood took from you that you fail to appreciate everything God has given you. Some women are praying for a husband. Some are praying for a child. Others are praying for the opportunity to stay home and raise their children. And here you are complaining about the very blessings they are begging God for. ‘Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.' Psalm 127:3,” the person wrote.

What Ayesha Curry Told Alex Cooper On Call Her Daddy

The comments came from the August 20, 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy. Cooper asked, “Did you always know you wanted a big family?”

Ayesha replied, “No. So I didn't want kids. I didn't want to get married. I thought I was going to be a career girl and that's it. And I had my eyes set on my goals, and I was never the little girl that, like, dreamt about the wedding dress and all of that, and then it happened so early in my life. So, it's like it's one of those things like you don't know what you actually don't know what you want.”

Cooper responded, “Maybe I didn't know myself that well. And it's like, no, you knew yourself when you were young and then life happens, and then you grow up, and then you have different wants and needs, and that's okay to change your mind.”

Ayesha agreed, saying, “I wouldn't change a thing, of course.” She married Stephen Curry in 2011, and their first daughter, Riley, was born the following year.

The criticism follows Stephen's defence of Ayesha's role in Second Chance Holiday. The Los Angeles Times reported that Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young and Emmanuel Acho apologised after Stephen challenged their comments about his wife.
