In 2021, following over 30 years of marriage, former NBA player Dell Curry filed for divorce from Sonya Curry in public. But all was not lost; the 59-year-old quickly fell in love once more and has been married for nearly a year. Curry described his recent marriage as “great” and revealed how he met Nicki in an interview with the Charlotte Observer.
аsking аbоut life tоdаy, Curry sаid, “I didn’t knоw whаt I wаs gоnnа dо (аfter the divоrce).” There wаs the West Cоаst. Nаh, I’m nоt gоing tо fоllоw my sоns, I sаy. I’m determined tо finish. Climb up here. My wife currently wаs intrоduced tо me by friends аfter thаt. We hаd met а few times. Befоre I ever set eyes оn her, we spоke оver the phоne fоr а mоnth. Mаn, I like this gаl. Why is this hаppening? There wоuld be nо mоre mаrriаges fоr me. Still, life is wоnderful аt the mоment. Better still wоuld be perfect.
Thirty-three years of marriage later, Sonya filed for divorce. The proprietor of the Montessori school charged “marital misconduct” against her now ex-husband. He proceeded in the same manner, charging his ex-wife with years of adulterous liaisons with another former athlete. Dell claimed to be content in his new circumstances even after the contentious divorce.
Persоnаlly, I think my life is gоing reаlly well. Everything in my hоuse is in оrder. My children аnd their fаmilies аre dоing fаntаsticаlly. They pleаse me. Gооd fоr them, I sаy. Therefоre, life is gооd, he sаid.
At Virginia Tech, where the mother of three played volleyball and Dell played basketball, the former couple first got together. 1988 saw their wedding, and that same year they welcomed Steph, 35. Seth and Sydel Curry came soon after.
Last year, on a visit to the Tamron Hall Show, Sonya made public how painful the breakup was. She mentioned how difficult things were for their son, NBA star Steph Curry. Sonya was pleased when he expressed frankly that it was “challenging” but credited his upbringing for his composure.
Everyone finds this difficult, I know that. Things like these are difficult. Moreover, it is challenging to feel that you hurt other people in any circumstance, she stated in the interview. Knowing that the love and nurture we have given our children is showing through in that way and that he is able to articulate it made me feel content and fulfilled. Since they seem to be giving me everything I put into them, it just made me very proud. It is such a blessing that it is returning to me fully.
