After an image started spreading on Twitter showing Steven and Nicki posing in a family photo with their children, which led to people realizing the two were once a couple. "Sonya's new boyfriend is actually Dell's college friend and their family is actually close family friends with the Currys," said a source, as per The New York Post. The source further added that "they all knew each other very well."

Users on the Internet were amused by the dynamics and the supposed "partner swap" between Dell, Sonya, Steven, and Nicki. One user tweeted, "Wait so Dell and Sonya Curry really out trading ex spouses!?" Another said, "Dell Curry's new gf and Sonia's new man used to be married [crying face emoji]." A third wrote, "Wait, let me get this straight, Dell Curry’s new gf was married to Sonya Curry’s new man?!?! What in TARNATIONS in the name of SWINGERS?!?!? [wide eyed emoji]."

A fourth joked, "I can't wrap my head around this [laughing emoji] I respect the pettiness tho. When others go low, we go lower [raised fist emoji]." A fifth added, "How the hell Dell and Sonya divorce and each end up dating the ex of they new partner?? Gotta be some southern bible thumpin swinging going on because that shit don't just happen! [grinning face emoji]." A sixth commented, "Just remember Sonya and Dell Curry left each other for white folk."

While one user said, "Lmao what in the entanglement is goin on...." another felt, "Steph's parents turned his all-time NBA f**king Finals performance into a trailer for a Wife Swap reboot. Even by the Association's outrageously high standards, that's a preposterous amount of petty." A third replied, "Man, what in the f? These people playing games that don't need to be played. #dellcurry."

"After exploring a trial separation over the past year and much thoughtful consideration, we have decided to end our marriage. As this comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus and desire is for our family's continued happiness. We are so thankful for all the many blessings and successes! We stay committed to and supportive of our children and grandchildren and will remain on connected paths. We ask that our privacy be respected and prayer for our family as we move forward," Sonya and Dell told People when they announced their split.

"I had to make sure I was in that moment with both of them separately and this wasn't just this whole kind of thing. That is how I choose to approach that. Because it is challenging. I could be mad and be like, 'Y'all effed this up.' I could have that approach. But it's going to be an acknowledgment of both of y'all in terms of how y'all raised me. The calmness I have in myself is because of y'all," Stephen told The Ringer about how he felt regarding his parent's divorce.
