Ayesha Curry deeply regrets exposing her oldest daughter, Riley, to the public eye and social media when she was younger. In an interview with Insider for their May 2023 cover story, Curry expressed her regret and mentioned that she now keeps her kids mostly out of the spotlight. She discussed the challenges of raising children in the era of social media as a celebrity parent and admitted that she wishes she had made different choices. Curry explained that when social media was still new, they didn’t fully understand the impact it would have on their lives. At the time, they were simply living their lives and thought it was okay to share moments of their child’s life with the public. However, looking back, Curry acknowledges the chaos it brought and acknowledges that they wouldn’t have done it if they knew the consequences.
Ayesha Alexander, along with her children Riley, Ryan, and Canon, frequently accompanies her husband, NBA player Stephen Curry, to his games. Riley gained attention when she joined her father for a press conference at the age of 2, and the family celebrated together at a postgame event. However, Ayesha has now revealed that she is more cautious about exposing her children to the online world. None of them have social media accounts or cell phones to protect them from any information about their family that may be available online. Ayesha aims to find a balance between being strict and allowing her children to have new experiences, an ongoing discussion she has with her husband. They are navigating this path together, learning as they go.
