Following husband Steph Curry’s win at the NBA Western Conference Championship, Ayesha Curry posted a message of praise and gratitude for her family.
“Infinitely proud of these guys,” she wrote. “God’s grace and mercy continues to cover our family and we are so grateful. Not about wins and losses, it’s all about family. Moments like this simply put it all into perspective.”
Ayesha closed with a Scripture reference to Matthew 6:33:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
But the proud wife and mama’s joy quickly turned to frustration after Instagram trolls began leaving rude comments.
“Are you pregnant again?????” questioned one follower — to which Ayesha responded like a CHAMP.
“Absolutely not LOL. My 30lb son is just breaking my back in every photo,” she replied, taking the potentially offensive comment in stride.
But when the body shaming soon turned to her 10-month-old son Canon, the mama bear in her had NO patience for it.
“30 lbs?!?!? He’s bigger than my 19-month-old nephew,” one fan remarked.

And then… my heart melted. What a dream. 😍 needless to say, daddy is verrrrry excited.
“30lbs at 10months?? Sheesh,” quipped another.
The 30-year-old mother continued to keep her cool in spite of the criticism… until a comment about how she should be feeding Canon came up.
“Maybe portion-control his food a bit,” the follower wrote in a comment that has since been deleted.
“Excuse you? No. Just no,” Ayesha fired back.
Fans flooded in to back up Ayesha in support — and equal disgust, at the senseless suggestion.
“RIGHT!?!! @cashmoneyap should portion control his rudeness!!,” wrote one commenter. “Chubby babies are the cutest!!”
Another chimed in, “Portion control for a baby?? Where do these people come up with this stuff??”
“Don’t even answer the nonsense,” replied one encouraging fan. “If you were it’s between you and your husband. And since you’re not, just ignore the foolery!! You are a beautiful queen with [a] beautiful family!!!!”
And it seems Ayesha heeded the advice by refusing to further feed into the negativity.
In an earlier interview with Parents magazine, the mom of three spoke to the balance she likes to maintain in her household when it comes to diet.
“In our house, you’re definitely not getting dessert if you don’t eat your dinner!” she shared. “But we do throw the rules out the window once in a while. We love to have movie night with the kids where we eat popcorn, ice cream and then breakfast for dinner.”
There will always be body shamers and naysayers trying to steal our joy, but kudos to Ayesha Curry for allowing her kiddos to indulge in simple pleasures without falling prey to the parent shamers telling her she’s not doing it right!
