On “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, she shared some inside stories about their love story. The popularity of this sports couple is well known among NBA fans, and how much they love them.
During her discussion of what actually happened on that date, Ayesha said: “I picked him up in my ’98 Astro van,” she continued by saying Stephen had on a 3XL pair of shorts. A conversation followed about Stephen’s love of shorts.
As they continued their date, she explained that they went to Madame Tussaud’s, the famous wax museum. Among other things, she mentioned they also drank chai tea lattes. The couple has been through a lot together and is still holding on to each other. It is either Ayesha at Stephen’s game cheering from the sidelines or Stephen coming on to Ayesha’s cooking shows.

PEOPLE magazine published a story back in 2017 about the first time the couple said “I love you” to each other. During the interview, she explained everything that happened, including how Stephen did not reply back the first time by saying those three words.

“I told him I loved him first and he said, ‘I feel like I love you too, but I don’t want to say it unless I’m sure because I just want to be sure that when I say it, I really mean it,’” she explained. “I had to get in my car and drive home. I was crying.”
Stephen finally expressed his feelings to Ayesha when they were celebrating Christmas with their families. “We were watching a movie and he turned to my ear and he said, ‘I love you.’” Ayesha remembers.
