Jessica Pegula’s husband is an avid fan of NBA superstar Stephen Curry to the extent that he has listed his iPhone under Curry’s name. During the U.S. Open final where Pegula faced Aryna Sabalenka, Curry was present to support Pegula. He and his wife sat behind one of the baselines and had a conversation with Pegula before the match. This encounter was especially exciting for Taylor Gahagen, Pegula’s husband, who was thrilled by the opportunity. Pegula mentioned that her husband was so enthusiastic about meeting Curry, and even shared with him the fact that his iPhone is named after the NBA player.

Pegula had briefly met Stephen Curry in Paris during the Olympics prior to this event. This time, their spouses also conversed, making the interaction even more memorable for the couple. Pegula humorously shared that she had left early, and upon texting her husband, he excitedly informed her that he had disclosed the iPhone nickname to Curry. She found the situation amusing, wondering whether Curry truly appreciated the gesture or thought her husband was a bit eccentric.

The playful exchange between Pegula’s husband and Stephen Curry added a light-hearted touch to the intense atmosphere of the U.S. Open final.
