It feels like just yesterday Riley Curry was stealing the spotlight at her dad’s postgame press conferences. Now, fans can’t believe how quickly she’s growing up.
On Friday, Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA superstar Steph Curry, posted a series of family photos that had social media buzzing. The pictures featured all six members of the Curry family: daughters Riley and Ryan, and sons Canon and Caius. But it was their eldest daughter, Riley, who caught everyone’s attention.
Riley, born in 2012, is about to turn 13 on July 19. In the final photo, she’s standing next to her mom, and fans immediately noticed that she’s just about the same height as Ayesha, if not taller. The surprising visual sparked a wave of reactions online, with many commenting on just how quickly Riley has grown.
One fan commented, “Riley’s height is escalated quickly!”
Another added, “❤️❤️ And the last pic with Riley taller than mom ð¥¹ð¥°ð¥°ð¥°."
Riley first stepped into the public spotlight as a toddler, famously crashing Steph’s interviews during the Golden State Warriors’ 2015 playoff run. Since then, fans have watched her grow up, which makes moments like these feel surreal for longtime followers of the Curry family.

As Riley approaches her teenage years, fans will no doubt continue to be amazed by her transformation.
