Steph Curry’s family had reason to celebrate this week as their son, Canon, turned seven years old.
The NBA star rarely posts photos of his kids, who he shares with wife Ayesha, but he made an exception to wish their oldest boy a happy birthday.
Steph took to Instagram with some snapshots of Canon posing on a rock by the water. In the images, the cheeky child pulled faces and posed for the camera, showing off his big personality.
Steph wrote: “My guy CWJC is 7! Laughs, jokes, country & Patwa accents and 1000 鈥渓ook what I can do鈥濃檚 a day. We love you Young Wolf.”
Fans sent heart emojis and well wishes but they were also stunned by how grown up he is.
They were shocked that he’s seven already and said it was “insane,” since they remember him as a baby.
Others commented on his stature, insisting he’s got his dad’s super tall genes.
Ayesha also posted a snapshot of their lives to celebrate Canon’s big day, and she couldn’t believe it either.
Alongside photos of her son, she wrote: “Our Canon Jack turned SEVEN today! 7?! I truly don’t know where the time goes. He is the most, passionate, empathetic and head strong human being I’ve ever met. I can’t believe God blessed me with the privilege of being his mama.”
Steph and Ayesha are also parents to their baby boy, Caius, who was born in 2024, and two daughters, Riley, born in 2012, and Ryan, born in 2015.
Ayesha previously spoke about their regret at putting their firstborn into the spotlight by sharing so much of her life on social media.
In an interview with Insider, Ayesha explained: “When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become.”
She recalled: “We were just genuinely living our lives back then. And we thought, ‘This is our kid. We’re bringing our kid along.'”
However, she admitted: “If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don’t think we would’ve done it.”
Riley was only two when she went viral on social media for her court side antics while watching her dad play basketball.
She was just three when she made her first appearance on late night television!
Sporty family
Steph loves being a dad and has introduced his kids to “pretty much every sport,” but he’s not pushing for them to go pro.
“We’re all backyard sports right now,” he told People. “Nothing too organized. We’ve got plenty of time. It’s more just confidence building and their ability to find joy in everything they do.”
