You know, the other day I was just scrolling through some sports stuff online, not really looking for anything specific. Then this thought kinda just jumped into my head – what about Steph Curry? Like, the question of his background.

It’s funny how these things pop up. I’d seen him play countless times, seen interviews, the whole deal. But I realized I wasn’t actually sure about his specific heritage. People talk, you hear things, sometimes folks get labeled based on how they look, right? So, I figured, let me actually check this out myself instead of just guessing or going by vague ideas.
My Quick Dive
So, what did I do? Pretty simple stuff, really. I just went online.
- First, I opened up a search engine. Didn’t use any fancy terms, just typed in something like “steph curry parents ethnicity”. Seemed like the most straightforward way to get to the source.
- Lots of results came back, obviously. News articles, short bios, the usual stuff.
- I clicked on a few reliable-looking links. Didn’t want some random fan forum, you know? Looked for actual bio pages or articles from known sports sites.
What I Found Out
It didn’t take long to get the picture. Pretty much everything pointed to the same facts:
His parents are Dell and Sonya Curry. Most folks who follow basketball know Dell Curry, his dad. He’s Black.
Then there’s his mom, Sonya. The info I found consistently mentioned she’s of mixed heritage. Usually described as African American, Creole, and sometimes Haitian ancestry mentioned too. So, she’s multiracial.

So, putting that together, Steph Curry himself is mixed-race, with a Black father and a multiracial mother. He’s publicly identified himself as a Black man. It’s clear he embraces his heritage.
Honestly, it was a pretty quick search. Took maybe five minutes. It just goes to show, sometimes you have these questions floating around in your head, based on looks or assumptions, and the actual info is right there if you just take a second to look it up. Cleared that right up for me.
