Stephen Curry had a reason to light up this week: his mother, Sonya Curry, has remarried at 60, and the celebration brought the family together.
Photos from the wedding showed the Golden State Warriors star on the dance floor, smiling alongside relatives while one of his daughters broke out her own dance moves. Sonya, who was married to former NBA player Dell Curry for decades before their split, later posted pictures from the ceremony on Instagram, according to the New York Post.
One image captured Steph grinning during the celebration with his family. Another showed a set of Polaroids, including one of Steph and his wife, Ayesha Curry, posing together.
The moment comes after a difficult stretch for the family. Steph has spoken before about how his parents’ divorce affected him, and in an interview with The Ringer he described the effort it took to stay connected with both sides.
“I had to make sure I was in that moment with both of them separately, and this wasn’t just this whole kind of thing,” Steph said. “That is how I choose to approach that.
Because it is challenging”.
Sonya also addressed the public chatter around her divorce and remarriage in an Instagram post of her own, pushing back on the way the story had been framed. “This is exactly why people don’t want to share good news with others!
Can you just share what is happening now and leave the past in the past!” she wrote.
She also said she never accused Dell of cheating with multiple women, making clear she wanted the family’s past to stay in the past. After everything they’ve been through, the wedding photos showed a family showing up for Sonya and celebrating her new chapter.

Warriors Face An Opening Night Luka Problem Kerr Must Solve
Steve Kerrs opening-night lineup plans already hint at how thin the Warriors margin may be when the Lakers arrive with Luka Doncic in the spotlight. Kerr has floated a small group built around Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, Yaxel Lendeborg and Draymond Green, a look that says as much about the rosters available bodies as it does about the coaching staffs confidence in pace and versatility.
The bigger issue is how Golden State absorbs Doncic without a clean one-on-one answer for him. With key players unavailable because of injury, the Warriors are short on natural perimeter defenders, which makes the decision more complicated than simply assigning a stopper. Kerr and his staff have to choose between trusting single coverage or sending help early, and opening night could hinge on which approach they settle on. [Read more 🡒]
Draymond Green Had A Blunt Response To Viral Camp Chatter
A viral social media post about Draymond Greens appearance at camp quickly made the rounds, with the focus landing on whether the Warriors forward had added weight. Green had a simple explanation for why the shirt looked the way it did, pushing back on the chatter and framing the whole thing as a matter of optics more than condition.
For Golden State, the bigger takeaway is familiar: Green is not interested in spending time on outside criticism, and he said he feels he is in decent shape for where he wants to be right now. It is the kind of blunt response that has long defined him, even when the conversation starts with something as routine as camp photos and ends with his usual no-nonsense shrug at the noise.

Sonya has also recently addressed the rumors that have lingered around her past divorce, asking for privacy as old claims continue to resurface. For Steph and the Warriors, the on-court focus may always come first, but this was one of those personal milestones that matters just as much to the people inside the family circle. [Read more 🡒]
