Jessica Pegula’s husband is such a big fan of Stephen Curry that he has the NBA star’s name as his iPhone identifier.
On Saturday, Curry came to watch Pegula play in the U.S. Open final, where she lost 7-5, 7-5 to Aryna Sabalenka. Curry and his wife, Ayesha, sat behind one of the baselines and visited with Pegula before the match.
Pegula and Curry had briefly met before in Paris at the Olympics. This time, their spouses had the chance to talk as well, which was very exciting for Taylor Gahagen.
“My husband’s iPhone name is Steph Curry because he’s a huge fan,” Pegula said.
“When you connect to Bluetooth or send him something, it shows up as ‘Steph Curry’s iPhone.’ So, when I left early, he texted me all excited and admitted he told Curry about the iPhone name. I was like, ‘Please tell me you didn’t mention that.’ He said, ‘Oh, yeah, I did.’”
“I thought it was really cute,” Pegula added. “He said Curry thought it was funny. I was worried he might think it was a bit odd, but it sounds like he enjoyed it.”
