Outside of being one of the NBA’s best players — with four championship rings and a three-point shooting reputation that precedes him — Stephen Curry is also known for being a family man.

He has been with his wife Ayesha since 2008, though they first met at church back in 2003.

“We were just kids,” Ayesha previously told PEOPLE of their first encounter. “He was the cute boy at church that all of the girls were obsessed with, so I made a generalization that maybe he wasn’t for me.”

They went in different directions in the years following, before they reunited in Los Angeles in 2008. And though Ayesha had a “no athletes” policy, Steph won her over and the pair were married in 2011.

The Currys have since welcomed three children: daughters Riley, 11 and Ryan 8, as well as a son named Canon, 5. The proud parents will also be adding to their brood this year, as Ayesha announced she’s pregnant with their fourth baby earlier this month.

In celebration of Steph’s 36th birthday, check out his and Ayesha’s sweetest family photos throughout the years.
