When collecting a basketball award, Steph paid homage to his wife by declaring: "None of this is possible without you."

Opening up on the Red Table Talk show on Facebook, Ayesha did frankly admit that sometimes she does doubt herself in the relationship. "Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that, yeah, there are all these women, like, throwing themselves [at him]," she revealed.

Also preferring not to call herself an "NBA wife", asserting: "I don't think my husband would call himself a 'chef's wife.'"

Speaking to Hello Giggles, the mother-of-three said date nights were another key factor for marital bliss. "Putting ourselves first, and making sure that we make time for date nights and for each other. That’s been very important, as hard as it is," she revealed.

The couple have three children together, and when Steph recently took to Instagram to share a rare photo of Riley, eight, and Ryan, five, and, two-year-old Canon, fans were obsessed!
