According to TMZ Sports, Steph Curry’s parents are in the midst of divorce proceedings. Sonya Curry, Steph’s mom, filed for divorce from former NBA player Dell Curry on June 14 in their home state of North Carolina. The reason for the potential split is currently unknown.

The couple has been a large part of Steph Curry’s NBA career, often having been seen in the stands during Golden State Warriors games and celebrating the three NBA Championships Steph won in 2015, 2017, and 2018. They’ve also been spotted in the crowd during games that involve both Steph and brother Seth Curry, usually wearing gear that represents both teams.

The couple also has a daughter, Sydel.The 57-year-old Dell and 55-year-old Sonya met when they were both student-athletes at Virginia Tech. Dell played for the men’s basketball team while Sonya played volleyball.

Anytime a couple divorces it can be a difficult and disappointing outcome. In this case, many fans enjoyed seeing the duo at Warriors games and showing their support for their kids in the NBA.

However, there was also a different kind of reaction on Twitter as some fans started wondering if this meant they might be able to swoop in after the divorce and curry favor with one of Steph’s parents.

There is, as always, no chill when it comes to Twitter.
