Steph Curry's wife Ayesha has revealed the surprise golden rule the couple have in their relationship.
Curry, one of the greatest players in the history of NBA, met at church when they were young teenagers and rekindled years later when he won the ESPY for Breakout Athlete of the Year in 2008 and Ayesha was trying to make it in Hollywood.
She has supported him during all of his successes, including NBA finals and Team USA's gold medal triumph at the Paris Olympics in the summer.
The couple tied the knot in July 2011 in Charlotte and have four children together - two daughters and two sons - the youngest of which was nine-month old Caius, born last year.

The childhood sweethearts have a strong and healthy marriage and renewed their vows in 2021.
And Ayesha recently revealed that the secret to their solid partnership is the fact that they actually make their relationship a priority and that in turn allows them to be better parents for their four kids.
"I think for us, our relationship always comes first. Then we're parents," she said in an interview with People Magazine.
"And that works for us because then you have two happy people raising the kids in the house. So the family sector in our lives always comes first.
"And then honestly, it's just surrounding ourselves with people that are smarter than us and know what they're doing and can make the things run. And they allow us the space to be creative and they allow us the space to truly show up however we choose to. And I think that's what's really worked for us."
The couple's latest child, Caius, is now "crawling and laughing" and has said 'Dad' before calling for his mother. Ayesha discussed the heartwarming bond her two sons have quickly developed.
"We were worried about having the six-year gap between our son and Cai Cai, and it's been magical," Ayesha added.
"He truly feels like a big brother. He only wants to protect him. There's no jealousy. I love it."
The Currys did receive some backlash for Ayesha's parenting admission but four-time NBA champion Steph responded by showing off a meal his wife coked for him.
In a video of some crab mac 'n cheese, roasted asparagus, and fried chicken, Curry joked: "She ain't put that meal before me though!
