Steph Curry’s Wife Appears to Limit His Drinking Amid New NBA Season, $116 Million Contract Extension

Stephen Curry‘s body is a temple — and his wife Ayesha Curry is determined to help keep it that way.

“Game day tomorrow! 🥹🥹 1 Hugo spritz and a water for the gentleman please,” Ayesha, 37, wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, October 6, alongside a photo in which she’s lounging with her husband, 38, by a pool.

Steph and the Golden State Warriors actually beat the Los Angeles Lakers that night, before losing to the Portland Trail Blazers on October 7.

As the 2026-27 NBA season — Steph’s 18th — gets underway, the four-time champion point guard is getting back into his regular routine.

Despite having his own bourbon line, the athlete has been abstaining from alcohol lately during playing months. In 2023, he told Esquire he will indulge in a tequila and soda while playing golf, but only in the off-season.

But that wasn’t always the case: Back in 2018, Steph’s teammate Draymond Green said a little alcohol actually improved his game during the 2015 playoffs.

“We were in Memphis, down 2-1. Steph wasn’t playing well, and it felt like the world was collapsing on us,” Green told ESPN. “So he was in his room, doing nothing, and I called him: ‘Hey, let’s go get a drink.’ ‘All right, cool.’ So we go to Blues City Cafe, drink a bunch of drinks, eat a bunch of garbage and have a bunch of fun. And we won the next three.”

“That moment was the beginning of our run, where it could have gone all the way left. We just needed to just get away from the game,” the forward, 36, added. “Then we’re in Cleveland, down 2-1 in the first Finals. Steph was struggling, so I took a bottle of wine to his room. So it’s just me and Steph, in his room, crushing a whole bottle of wine — and we won the next three.”

In September, Steph signed a two-year, $116 million contract extension with the Warriors, per ESPN.
