Roku released the official trailer on October 27. Her earlier screen credits include the Netflix film Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan, and the 2025 holiday comedy Joy to the World. The couple married in 2011, and their relationship has often drawn attention online. In September 2025, rapper Killer Mike joined an online discussion that criticised Ayesha.
“It’s not even real you guys are annoying,” she wrote on X on November 5, the day the romantic comedy began streaming on The Roku Channel. Stephen responded publicly, telling him, “Naaaaa not you Mike,” before adding, “Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. Ayesha Curry has responded to criticism after a kissing scene from her new film, Second Chance Holiday, spread across social media. The wife of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry pushed back at viewers who questioned her for sharing an on-screen kiss with actor Matthew Daddario , pointing out that the moment was part of a fictional story. Stephen had already publicly celebrated her first leading role in a feature film. The scene shows Ayesha and Daddario, who plays her character’s former high school sweetheart, sharing a kiss. After a clip circulated online, some users questioned why she had taken part in a romantic storyline while married to Stephen. The comments focused on the actors’ real-life relationships rather than the film’s plot. Ayesha’s reply was brief. She did not suggest that the scene reflected anything about her marriage. Her comment made clear that the kiss was an acted moment in a movie, not a real-life event. It came on the day the film premiered on the Roku Channel. In Second Chance Holiday, Ayesha plays Chelsey Banks, a dating expert who has a run of holiday-season breakups. She begins to think she is unlucky in love, but a return home brings her back into contact with her former high school sweetheart, played by Daddario. Their reunion drives the romantic storyline, including the scene that drew attention online. The movie is Ayesha’s first leading role in a feature film, although she has acted in other projects before. She has also worked in television and built a career in food, business and lifestyle projects. After the trailer came out, the Warriors star praised his wife’s work in a post on X. “My Leading Lady. I get to see the work behind the scenes and now the world gets to see you shine and this is just the beginning,” he wrote.
