Steph Curry's mom Sonya reportedly admitted that she was seeing someone new and the relationship began after she separated from Dell in March 2020

NBA players Stephen and Seth Curry’s parents Sonya and Dell Curry are splitting after 33 years of marriage. Both are blaming each other’s infidelity as the cause of their split. As per court documents, Dell has accused Sonya of cheating on him before they separated. According to him, she was having an extramarital relationship for years with Steven Johnson, an ex-NFL player. But even as allegations fly during Dell and Sonya's messy split, Sonya is already being linked to someone new. 

As per court documents, Dell claims Sonya has been living with Steven Johnson in Tennessee. Sonya responded that she has been living alone because Dell has not allowed her to live at home. Sonya reportedly admitted that she was currently dating someone but was adamant that the relationship began after she legally separated from Dell in March 2020.

According to a person close to Drake, the rap star would frequently flirt with Steph’s mom Sonya, reported Awesemo. The insider explained, “Drake and Sonya used to flirt with each other. It was all in fun. But now that she’s single, I’m pretty sure Drake is going to shoot his shot.”
