Stephen “Steph” Curry has agreed to a contract extension through the 2026-27 season with the Golden State Warriors for a reported $62.6 million.
But it seems the NBA superstar’s wife, Ayesha Curry, had a moment of panic that the family might be leaving the San Francisco Bay Area.
Emily Chang, host of Bloomberg Originals’ “The Circuit” show, recently caught up with the Currys at their Workday Charity Classic golf tournament last week. Chang shared footage of her interaction with Steph, 36, and Ayesha, 35, on social media.

In the short clip, Chang mentioned that Steph had removed any references to the Warriors franchise from his Instagram page. A visibly confused Ayesha looked at her husband and responded, “Wait, what?”
Steph’s Instagram bio currently reads, “Believer. Father. Husband. Founder. Philanthropist. And… Olympic Gold Medalist. Philippians 4:13.”
According to Clutch Points, “Olympic Gold Medalist” replaced “Guard for the @Warriors.”
The four-time NBA champion explained the change by telling his spouse, “I was just proud to be an Olympian.”
“Good news @warriors fans, @stephencurry30 just signed a new one-year deal. But when I saw him this week, he said the plan is to stay forever!!” Chang captioned the clip. “P.S.Super fun episode of ‘The Circuit’ coming with Steph and @ayeshacurry.”
Steph and Ayesha Curry’s conversation with Emily Chang sparked varied responses in the comment section. In particular, people shared their takes on the four-time NBA championship winner staying with Golden State.
“He needed to get up out of there!! Wasting his last years, smh!” one person commented. In contrast, a fan expressed, “See told ya. Steph Warrior forever, y’all can relax, we be back with [a] vengeance.”
When it comes to the filmed exchange between Emily Chang and the Currys, a critic stated, “Cringe as f–k.”
However, Chang got support as well. One of her defenders expressed, “I love your interviews and interview style. They’re so refreshingly original.”
