Ayesha Curry Reveals Her 'Escape' From Motherhood: 5-Minute Bathroom Breaks
Ayesha Curry opens up about taking time off from being a mom

Ayesha Curry, the entrepreneur and wife of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, has opened up about the simple yet effective ways she carves out personal time amidst the demands of motherhood. The couple, who have been together since their teenage years and married for over a decade, have often been in the public eye, facing occasional trolling for their relationship and past comments.

The Bathroom Break Reset

In a candid revelation to Marie Claire in July 2025, Ayesha Curry described her unconventional sanctuary. She admitted that she loves a brief bathroom break to disconnect. "Honestly, I love a little bathroom break. I'm not afraid to say that I'm using my phone if I'm on the toilet," she said.

The mother of four added with humour, "I don't care what anybody says, I love a good five-minute Instagram scroll there. It does wonders for the soul." She explained that this short escape acts as a crucial reset because it's one of the few places her children won't intrude. She concluded by joking, "Let's just hope I'm not spending 40-something minutes on the toilet every day."

Addressing Past Comments on Marriage and Children

These light-hearted confessions come in the backdrop of more serious criticism Ayesha has faced. In August 2025, during an appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, she revisited her youthful perspective on life, which had previously sparked online outrage.

She revealed that in her younger years, she had a different vision for her future. "I didn't want kids. I didn't want to get married. I thought I was going to be a 'career girl,' and that's it," Ayesha stated. Her life, however, took a swift turn after marrying Stephen Curry. "After we got married, we found out we were pregnant with our daughters so quickly, I didn't even have time to think about what I wanted anymore..."

While these remarks were a reflection of her past self, some fans misinterpreted them as disrespect towards her husband and family, leading to a wave of negative comments.

Navigating Public Scrutiny Together

Despite facing brutal trolling for both her marriage and her honest reflections on early life choices, the Currys have demonstrated resilience. The couple has consistently chosen to stay away from fuelling public debates with reactive comments. They have focused on their family and respective careers, standing united through the online noise.

Ayesha's recent openness about finding small moments of peace highlights a relatable challenge for parents everywhere—balancing personal identity with family responsibilities. Her story underscores that even in a high-profile life, the need for a brief, private reset is universal.
