It wasn't long before the comment section was filled with heart emojis, loving words of support and tons of congratulatory sentiments.
Curry-Lee's sister-in-law, brother Steph Curry's wife Ayesha commented, "😍😍😍😍😍." Her other sister-in-law, her brother Seth's wife, Callie, also left a comment with heart emojis.
One follower noticed the subtle gender reveal in the video. "And you said…. Come give sissy a kiss 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️." Another person also took notice of that saying, "I notice that too 🎀🥹 🙌 I’m due same month and my first Girl. I’m so happy for her."
In the beginning of the video, Curry-Lee says, "Come here Daxon, come give sissy a kiss," as Daxon is seen running toward her. Daxon's sweet laughter can be heard as the video shows the family of three happy to be expanding their family.
Lee, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, also shared the same video on Instagram, but used a different song as the background music. The comment section of his post was also quickly filled with nothing but love and support.
"I’m not crying your crying 😢❤️❤️❤️," one person wrote. Another added, "Congratulations on your baby girl 💕😍🥺."
In an Instagram Story slide, Curry-Lee talks briefly about her pregnancy announcement and thanks everyone for the love and support.
"I finally have some free time, if I don't fall asleep, to come on here and just first of all say thank you so much for all the love today. Thank you just for all the well wishes and all that kinds of stuff," she said.
"It feels like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to finally be able to say, or be able to like tell you guys and announce it. I'm like 18 weeks now, I'm almost halfway there. It's been a wild few months."
Sydel Curry-Lee And Damion Lee Shared Their Fertility Journey Story When Trying To Conceive Daxon
The couple welcomed their first child in November 2021 after going through IVF. Curry-Lee shared her fertility story, which at times had many challenges.
During an episode of Dear Media's "Because Life" podcast back in December 2021, shortly after Daxon was born, the couple explained some of the struggles they went through trying to conceive their son.
"It kind of felt like a job at times, Lee said. "Someone gave us the advice to do the deed for a whole month. Like every day of the month. We got to day like 15 and were like, no," Curry-Lee added. They continued to chat about the difficulties of keeping the spark alive while trying to conceive, because "it's such a mental thing."
"It's more mentally tiring than physically. So I think you have to do more than just do the deed," she said. "You need to water your relationship and your intimacy outside of the bedroom."
While Curry-Lee hasn't filled her followers in on whether IVF was something they did this second time around yet, she has said in her most recent Instagram Story that she will fill everyone in on the past few months soon.
