When Steph Curry isn’t on the court with the Golden State Warriors, he’s knee deep in the messy, hilarious, and the familiar reality of raising four kids with his wife, Ayesha.

In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, the father-of-four tells the outlet that, “Every day is a wild experience, and I’m enjoying every little bit of it. Fans would see there’s no such thing as balance, but you try every day to figure it out.

That “wild experience” comes from parenting across very different stages of childhood. Riley, the couple’s oldest, is 13. Their youngest, Caius, is just 15 months old. In between are Ryan, 10, and Canon, 7, meaning the Curry household is juggling teen talks, elementary school projects, and toddler nap schedules all at once.

“We’ve got a really cool spread now with a 13-year-old and a 15-month-old, so we’re seeing a lot of it on a daily basis,” Curry told the outlet.

The 37-year-old admits that parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all. “Your ability to communicate and build trust with each one individually — like, you set up rules for the house, but each one has to be parented a little differently,” he explains. “That’s the cool part of the experience as a parent, and I’m loving every single minute of it.”

For Curry, the joy is in watching his kids’ personalities shine through.

“They all teach me something every day… they’re hilarious — they ask questions that make you think,” he says. “There’s not anything super specific, other than realizing they’re so unique. They all came from the same place, but they have such different personalities.”

There is one rule that sticks in the Curry household, no attending NBA games on school nights. It’s a boundary inspired by his own parents, Sonya and Dell Curry, who enforced the same rule when Dell played in the league.

“That’s the one part of the parent playbook that we kept — just cut, copy, and paste,” Curry says. “And to me and Ayesha’s kind of expectations, it’s priorities first. You know, on school nights you gotta make sure you’re getting your rest so you can get to school, have a good time, and learn. If you’re not taking care of your homework or your chores, you lose privileges that way.”

Still, the rules bend when the kids do make it to his games. Curry laughs about how the arena turns into snack paradise. “I guess the only thing is, when they come to games now, they’re a little spoiled in the sense that they try to get every snack, candy, treat — whatever you wanna call it,” he says. “There’s really no limit at games ’cause I want ’em to have fun. But that’s the part that gets a little hard when you’re chasing around three — now four — kids at our games.”

Even in the chaos, Curry calls it a blessing. “It is such a blessing, and really weird, that I’m now in the same position as a parent that I grew up in as a kid,” he adds.
