A Passion for Basketball: Pegula's Husband's Unique Connection with Stephen Curry

Jessica Pegula's husband, a Stephen Curry fan, uses Curry's name for his iPhone. During a U.S. Open final, Curry and his wife Ayesha supported Pegula. The two couples chatted, and Pegula shared a charming anecdote about her husband's iPhone naming.

Jessica Pegula's husband is an ardent fan of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, to the extent that he has named his iPhone after him.

In a show of mutual support, Curry and his wife Ayesha attended Pegula's match against Aryna Sabalenka in the U.S. Open final, where Pegula succumbed 7-5, 7-5. The Currys sat behind one of Pegula's baselines and even engaged in conversation with her before the game.

The meeting was not their first encounter, as Pegula and Curry had previously crossed paths at the Olympics in Paris. This time, their spouses also met, delighting Pegula's husband, Taylor Gahagen. 'My husband, his iPhone name is Steph Curry, because he loves Steph Curry,' Pegula shared, recounting the amusing moment he revealed this to Curry himself. 'He loved it,' she added with a chuckle.
