This is a sensitive topic for a lot of people, and frankly many don’t have the tact to speak on it properly. Many people feel if you marry an athlete or an entertainer and you aren’t famous yourself, your identity is tied forever to that athlete or entertainer.
Others will call you a goal digger or a groupie. They will say you are only relevant and are afforded opportunities because of who you are married to.
While all that is debatable, it is also a catch-22 situation. If the wives did nothing all day but spend money, people would judge them on that. If they go out and do something with their fame, people will judge them as I spoke about above. In the end, you just have to live your life and not worry about how other people label you.
Ayesha Curry wasn’t content just being Steph Curry’s wife, so she went out and decided to brand herself. These are the results of that according to ABC News.
Ayesha Curry is a mogul in the making.
Curry just opened her flagship restaurant International Smoke in her adopted hometown of San Francisco, her third location with legendary chef Michael Mina.
The 28-year-old also hosts the Food Network show “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen” and was a co-host on ABC’s “The Great American Baking Show.” And in between that, she’s one of the faces of CoverGirl, has a cookware line, a home cooking service and is the mother of two daughters, Riley and Ryan.
Oh yeah, and she just happens also to be married to two-time NBA champion Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
“Obviously mom and wife first,” Ayesha Curry said of the many titles she juggles. “Those are the two most important titles.”
But one of the titles Ayesha Curry said she doesn’t carry “NBA wife.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever call myself that,” she told “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang. “I mean, I don’t think my husband would call himself ‘chef’s wife.’”
“One thing that my mom always told me was to never lose yourself inside of your marriage. I’m happy that I’ve been able to find that so-called balance and be able to pursue my passions and take care of my family,” Ayesha Curry said.
Another thing that Ayesha has faced backlash on especially in social media is her thoughts on being a more traditional woman.
The problem with that, of course, is everyone has a different definition on what a “good woman” is and therefore when Ayesha puts out her opinions other women who are more open about their sexuality lash out at her. She has been accused of “slut shaming” in the past. Here is what she had to say about that.
“My family values are really, really important. When you’re a little more traditional, it’s almost shunned upon.
As a young mom, she recognizes that some of her beliefs are outside the norm.
“I’ve noticed in this day and age is when you’re a little more traditional It’s almost shunned upon, like if you’re doing something wrong,” Ayesha Curry said. “As a young woman, I want to keep those core family values alive.”
