Sydel Curry-Lee’s 30th birthday celebration was nothing short of epic, but one familiar face was surprisingly late to the festivities-her superstar brother, Stephen Curry. While the rest of the Curry clan flooded social media with warm wishes and party highlights, Steph’s absence raised eyebrows.
The celebrations started early with a pre-birthday bash hosted by Ayesha Curry and Sonya Curry, featuring a cowboy-themed party just for the ladies. The event, held at Jackson Hole, was filled with wild moments, including shots taken in pairs using shot glasses placed on both ends of a double-barrel toy gun.
Sydel, known for keeping a cool demeanor, nailed every shot with a poker face, while Ayesha’s quirky reactions hinted at the strength of the drinks.
Stephen’s belated congratulations
Despite the lively start, Steph was conspicuously silent throughout the day. With only two hours left in Sydel’s special day, the four-time NBA champ finally broke his silence on Instagram.
Sharing a photo of his sister, he wrote, “Happy birthday Flossssssss!! 30 on em!” The nickname “Flossy” seemed to be a term of endearment among Sydel’s inner circle. Some speculated he may have wished her in person earlier, but his last-minute post had fans talking.
Ayesha, on the other hand, didn’t wait until the eleventh hour. At midnight, she shared a heartfelt collage of Sydel on her Instagram story, writing, “And just like that she’s 30!!! Happy Birthday, @sydelcurrylee I love you!”
Family love filled social media
Sydel’s husband, Damion Lee, stole the spotlight with a romantic Instagram tribute. Posting a photo of the two in matching black outfits, the 32-year-old NBA guard star penned, “The most selfless person I know… so proud of who you are, an amazing wife & mom. So excited for you with this next chapter of your life.”
Although Steph’s tardy post raised some questions, the family’s love for Sydel was clear. With cowboy hats, double-barrel drinks, and heartwarming messages, this was a 30th birthday bash to remember-Steph or no Steph.
