The father of NBA players Steph and Seth Curry, Dell Curry, describes his life as “great”.
Dell, a former NBA shooting guard who played 10 seasons with the Hornets during his 16-year career, discussed getting remarried after his public divorce from Sonya Curry, which included accusations of adultery on both sides, in a wide-ranging interview with The Charlotte Observer.
“Yes. It’s wonderful. After the divorce, I was unsure about my next move. I considered visiting the West Coast. ‘Nah, I’m not going to follow my boys,’ I say. I’m going to persevere. “Hang on,” Dell said on the “Sports Legends of the Carolinas” podcast by the newspaper.
“And after that, my current wife was introduced to me by friends. She was someone I had already met. Before I saw her, we spoke on the phone for a month. Oh, I like this gal, guy, I’m thinking. What’s happening here?”

The 59-year-old Dell went on to describe his present emotional condition. He has been married to Nicki for “almost a year,” according to Dell.
“I wasn’t planning a second marriage. But right now, life is wonderful. It is perfect in every way. I’m at a terrific spot in my life right now. My living circumstances are good. My children are doing well, as are their families. They are delighted for me. I’m delighted for them. Therefore, life is good, he remarked.
Originally married in 1988, Dell and Sonya have three children: Steph, 35, Seth, 33, and daughter Sydel, 29.
