You can always count on kids to keep it real with you. So if you have four under the age of 13, like NBA wife and entrepreneur Ayesha Curry, you had better believe you’ll be getting a daily dose of unfiltered truth at home – even when you’re not looking for it.
In a January 14 interview for the debut issue of Haute Beauty, Curry, wife of Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and mom to Riley (12), Ryan (9), Canon (6), and Caius (born in May 2024), talks about what makes her feel beautiful and how her little ones keep her grounded – and humble.
“I certainly think beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” she said. “Sometimes, it means being at home in sweatpants, taking care of my kids with no makeup and my skin is having a good week; I’ll feel really beautiful because my skin didn’t freak out on me. It could be something as simple as a bubble bath, a glass of wine, and a nice mask when the kids go to bed; having 30 minutes or an hour for some real self-care, which changes the entire narrative for me because I just feel more put together. Or it could be a date night, going out with my husband, where I put on a cute dress and get all glammed up with my winged liner just right, and I’m feeling myself, because that never happens.”
Curry says the products in her new beauty brand Sweet July Skin have helped make her feel “confident in and about her own skin,” but if she’s ever in a place where she’s feeling herself a little too much, her six-year-old son Canon is the best person to bring her back down to reality.
“He’s done this three times now: he’ll run in the kitchen and be like, ‘Mom, are you having another baby? Your belly looks big.’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m not.’ Actually, I just lost three pounds. I don’t say it to him, but in my head I’m like, ‘Dang, you got me again!’” she said.
