Ayesha herself embarked on an acting career in the early 2000s, appearing in various television shows such as “Hannah Montana,” “The Bold Type,” “Ballers,” and “A Black Lady Sketch Show.” After marrying Steph in 2011 and welcoming Riley, Ryan (8), and Canon (5), Ayesha took a hiatus from acting. Currently pregnant with their fourth child, she is excited about her family’s newest addition.

Regarding the upcoming arrival, Ayesha shared, “Oh, everybody’s great, like everybody has a different dynamic, so that’s been really special. But they can’t wait.”

In her latest film, Ayesha portrays the best friend of Lindsay Lohan’s character, who makes a wish for a drastic change in her luck in love. Reflecting on her blessings, Ayesha emphasized the joy her children bring her. “Oh my gosh, I’d have to say all of my beautiful babies like healthy, happy babies. What more could you ask for? So we’re just grateful for that,” she expressed.

It’s like, you know, you don’t think you’re gonna find those friendships later on in life, in your adulthood and when it happens, it’s just so magical,” Ayesha praised. “And I’ve been grateful to have her to bounce off of, and she’s been so encouraging of me stepping back into this part of my career. So it’s been great.”
