The Internet Is Lying About The Curry Family Again (And Gabrielle Union’s Advice Didn’t Help)

If you have spent any time scrolling through social media over the last twenty-four hours, you might have had a mini heart attack regarding the Golden State Warriors’ franchise player. No, he didn’t twist an ankle, and no, he isn’t demanding a trade. The rumor mill has been churning out something much more personal and, frankly, much more annoying.

According to the internet—specifically the weird, unverified corners of Facebook—Steph and Ayesha are splitting up. Before you panic and lose all faith in love, let’s just take a deep breath. We need to talk about why everyone is freaking out about the Curry family, why the rumors are absolute garbage, and the hilarious irony involving Gabrielle Union that has resurfaced at the exact same time.

The Curry Separation Rumors Are Total Nonsense

Here is the deal: A post from a page called “Basketball Breakdown” went viral recently, claiming that the power couple had split after 14 years of marriage. It got thousands of shares, comments, and reactions because, apparently, we are all just waiting for bad things to happen to good people.

Let’s be real for a second. If Stephen Curry, one of the most famous athletes on the planet, was actually separating from his wife of over a decade, you wouldn’t be finding out about it from a random Facebook page with a generic name. You would hear it from TMZ, ESPN, or maybe a heartbreaking Instagram story with a black background and white text.

The reality is boring, but good: they are fine. They are still together. They just had their fourth kid. There is zero evidence to suggest otherwise. But in an era where we doom-scroll past fake quotes attributed to Bronny James or made-up trade rumors, it’s easy to get duped. It’s frustrating that fans have to play detective just to figure out if their favorite player’s life is falling apart or if someone just wanted engagement bait.

That Time Gabrielle Union Tried to Break Up the Curry Dynasty

While the current breakup rumors are fake, there was actually a time when a celebrity advised the couple to call it quits. And it wasn’t just anyone—it was Gabrielle Union.

In a clip that has been making the rounds again (because the internet loves context), Gabrielle Union admitted to Dwyane Wade during an Instagram Live that she once told Steph and Ayesha to break up. This wasn’t recent, obviously. We are talking about way back in the day, when the Curry duo was just young, wide-eyed kids at a birthday party.

Union’s logic? She thought they were too young to be tying themselves down. Her advice was basically: “You guys are unlikely to make it. Break up and go have fun with other people.”

Can you imagine? You are at a party, just vibing with your significant other, and a movie star looks you dead in the eye and tells you to go have a “hot girl summer” instead of getting married. To be fair to Union, she admitted that at the time, she was living a very different lifestyle and “enjoying life” (her words, not mine), and she projected that onto them.

Why The Curry Relationship Feels Like An Anomaly

The funniest part of this whole saga is Gabrielle Union’s retraction. She now looks at Steph and Ayesha and calls them “unicorns.” She admitted on that same stream that there are very few people she has met in her life who have been as consistent as they have.

And maybe that is why the fake rumors caught fire so fast. We aren’t used to consistency. We are used to drama. We are used to the Gabrielle Union advice—the idea that you should play the field and that settling down young is a mistake. When you see a couple like the Curry family, who have been together through ankle injuries, championships, MVP trophies, and four children, it feels almost too good to be true in the landscape of modern celebrity culture.

Stop Believing The Hype

So, here is the bottom line: The internet lied to you. Stephen isn’t single. Ayesha isn’t packing her bags. The only person who ever really tried to break them up was Gabrielle Union over a decade ago, and even she admits she was dead wrong.

It is rare to see a relationship in the NBA survive the pressure cooker of fame, money, and constant travel. That is why they are “unicorns.” Let’s stop trying to hunt the unicorns for sport and just let them live, alright? If you see that viral post, just keep scrolling. The dynasty is still intact, both on and off the court.
