Riley, older sister to Ryan Curry, 8, and Canon Curry, 5, first won fans' hearts when she was just 2 years old, going viral during an appearance with her dad she appeared with her dad at an NBA post-game press conference, interrupting him to say he was being too loud and to "be quiet."

Meanwhile, like many parents, Ayesha and Riley have over the years occasionally shared photos and videos of their kids on Instagram. In fact, Ayesha recently reflected on Riley's viral moment more than a decade ago.
"When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become," the Ayesha's Home Kitchen host said in a May 24 interview with Insider. "If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don't think we would've done it."
She added, "But we were just genuinely living our lives back then. And we thought, 'This is our kid. We're bringing our kid along.'"

"I want them to grow up in a world where their gender does not feel like a rulebook for what they should think, or be, or do. And I want them to grow up believing that they can dream big, and strive for careers where they'll be treated fairly. And of course: paid equally."
