Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s family is now officially larger than a basketball team on the court.
The NBA player and his wife announced on May 26 that she had given birth to their fourth child, a son called Caius Chai, two weeks earlier.
“Our sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival!!” they wrote on Instagram, alongside a cropped photo showing the newborn’s hand and part of his head. “He’s doing well, and we’re finally settling in at home as a family of six! I am so grateful! Caius Chai, 5/11/24.”
The new addition to the Curry family joins older sisters Riley, 11, and Ryan, 8, as well as son Canon, 5. Caius was born the day following Mother’s Day, when Stephen honored Ayesha with charming images of her with their other children.
“Happy Mother’s Day to the mother of my bundles of joy!” the Golden State Warriors player posted on Instagram at the time. “You brighten their day every day by supporting, encouraging, and empowering them to be their best selves. I am always grateful to be on this adventure of parenthood with you. Keep that motherly touch. “We love you!”
The actress, who co-stars with fellow parent Lindsay Lohan in Netflix’s Irish Wish, announced her pregnancy in March.
“For so many years, Stephen and I thought we were done,” the 35-year-old shared in an essay for Sweet July Magazine. “We said, ‘Three, that’s it, we’re not doing this again.’ And then, last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again.”
The Seasoned Life author, who married the 36-year-old in 2011, continued, “For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing. I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something.’ But nobody was forgotten. It started to turn my brain a little bit. Maybe somebody was missing. So we set out on this journey, knowing that this would complete our family.”
Later that month, Ayesha spoke about the prospect of having a fifth child one day.
“Five sounds crazy!” she told E! News exclusively at the Voices of Beauty Summit hosted by Landing International March 28. “I grew up in a household of five and that felt like somebody always got left out. I think four is going to be perfect.”
But Ayesha isn’t pushing Steph to get a vasectomy just yet, telling E! News, “I would tell him to wait until he stops playing.”

InstagramEquality Matters
Back in August 2018, Stephen penned an essay about gender equality. “I want our girls to grow up knowing that there are no boundaries that can be placed on their futures, period,” he wrote for The Player’s Tribune. “I want them to grow up in a world where their gender does not feel like a rulebook for what they should think, or be, or do. And I want them to grow up believing that they can dream big, and strive for careers where they’ll be treated fairly. And of course: paid equally.”

Whether cheering in the stands or voicing her fandom on social media, Ayesha never hesitates to support her husband and his team. “I’m such a passionate fan. I can’t help myself,” she previously shared on E! News’ Daily Pop. “I’m such a fan.”
