Sonya Curry Seemingly Addresses Cheating Rumors Throughout Her Marriage

Steph’s Mom is making the rounds to promote her book.

Daytime talk show host Tamron Hall called up Sonya Curry to discuss her new book, “Fierce Love: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose.” Sonya opened up about raising her three children, NBA stars Steph and Seth Curry and daughter Sydel, and how they reacted to the news of her recent separation from their father. Rumors of Sonya cheating with former Patriots player Steven Johnson were rampant when the news of the divorce surfaced.

Sonja said hearing how he feels about the divorce makes her sad, however, she’s fulfilled knowing what she poured into all three of her children is coming back full-fold.

“Well, at first, I was saddened, because yes, I know that this isn’t something easy for anybody.” She continued, “This is a hard thing. And to feel like you cause other people pain in any situation is difficult. So for me to find a way to process that, that I could have caused pain to someone else. But then also I was just happy and fulfilled to know that the parenting and all the love and the nurturing that we’ve poured into our children is coming out that way and he’s able to express that, just made me so proud because now it’s like they’re giving to me, everything I poured into them is coming back to me full-fold and it’s such a blessing.”

Sonya also accused Dell of cheating on her throughout their marriage.

The 55-year-old mom seemingly addressed the cheating rumors and negative headlines about her marriage:

“Well, I started even with raising the children that we wouldn’t purchase the newspaper when Dell was playing because, because of that, you know, one day they love you and one day they’re tearing you down and criticizing you. So, you know, we’ve raised them to stay even keel, next play and just focus on what they’re in control of. And so, I’ve tried to do the exact same thing. I don’t listen to a lot of the social media. If something kind of leaks and gets to me and sneaks in then you know, I just take it to prayer and try to leave it with God and focus on what I can focus on and you know, take accountability for the things, if there’s something in there that’s you know, truthful, then I try to take accountability for that and just get better, just wake up every day and lean into you know what my book is titled ‘Fierce Love,’ a lot of grace and a lot of Mercy every day for myself, and then I can give that to other people as well. So and relying on my children, as long as I know the people that I love, know the truth, then I can, you know, lean on that as well.”

In a recent interview with The Ringer, Steph Curry got candid about what it’s been like dealing with his parent’s divorce.

“It’s challenging for sure,” the Golden State Warriors point guard said. “I could be mad and be like, ‘Y’all effed this up.’ I could have that approach. But it’s going to be an acknowledgment of both of y’all in terms of how y’all raised me. The calmness I have in myself is because of y’all.”

The Currys have plenty of practice being in the public eye.

Always tough for kids to deal with divorce, but definitely a lot easier when they’re all grown adults.

And as far as the cheating rumors go, they’re both now single and free to see whoever they want…
