On Saturday night, Stephen wrote on his Twitter page: 'My wife is a champ!'

Ayesha and Stephen had not known what sex their new baby was going to be until a couple of weeks ago - and had even planned a nursery that was 'gender neutral', a source told E! News.

The couple, whose newest daughter arrived ahead of schedule, became well-known to those who do not follow sports after Riley attended Stephen's press conferences - and captivated viewers.

Stephen, a player for the Golden State Warriors, nabbed the NBA MVP.

But it was soon clear that Riley should be given the title for the most adorable person.

During one press conference in May after his team won victory over the Houston Rockets, Riley told her sports star dad to 'be quiet' despite him being named the MVP.

Grabbing the attention of the press, Riley stole the show by hiding under the table curtain while her father tried to focus and speak about his game.

But she may have given him good luck as the Golden State Warriors downed Cleveland 105-97 in Game Six to capture the NBA Finals last month.
