How Old is Callie Rivers?
Callie Rivers’ current age is 34 as of 2024. She was born on September 17, 1989, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, which makes her an American by nationality. However, she comes from a mixed ethnic background.
The former volleyball player’s ethnicity mix is quite unique as she has an African-American father and a mother who has both German and Italian roots; this is the reason for her unique appearance.
Though she was born in Atlanta, Callie spent a better part of her early years in Winter Park, Florida, where her family relocated due to their father’s NBA career.
Callie’s Education and Academic Qualifications
Growing up in Winter Park, Florida, Callie Rivers joined Winter Park High School in her locality. It was during this period that she started her volleyball career.
Reportedly, Callie did not complete her high school studies at Winter Park High School as she later transferred to Florida Gatorade High School, graduating in 2007.
With her high school education done and dusted, Callie gained admission into the prestigious University of Florida to study Broadcast Journalism. Her days in college were quite memorable as she excelled in volleyball with the institution’s female team.
Callie Comes From a Basketball Family
The Rivers family is among the most popular basketball families in the United States. Callie’s dad, Doc Rivers, played basketball during his active years in the game and later settled into the life of a professional basketball coach. He is highly respected in the National Basketball Association as one of the best coaches ever. He is still active in basketball coaching, as is the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Doc Rivers married Callie’s mother, Kristen Rivers, in 1986, and their union lasted for 33 years before it hit the rocks in 2019. The couple’s divorce was well-reported by media outlets.
Far from being her parents’ only child, Callie Rivers was raised alongside three siblings – all boys. Out of her three brothers, only Jeremiah Rivers is older than Callie, but the other two, Austin Rivers and Spencer Rivers, are all younger. The three Rivers brothers are active in basketball, just like their father.
Born on July 27, 1987, Jeremiah, who is a couple of years older than Callie, was active in basketball during his days as a student at Georgetown University. He continued playing after transferring to Indiana University, and upon his college graduation, he moved to Serbia, where he played with Mega Vizura. He later joined the team of the Maine Red Claws under the NBA G-League.
On the other hand, Callie River’s brother, Austin Rivers, is younger than her by three years, as he was born on August 1, 1992. Austin became an active basketball player from a young age and did exploits at Winter Parks High School and Duke University before his NBA drafting. After forfeiting his last three years at Duke, Austin was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets during the 2012 NBA draft as the 10th overall. When he eventually joined the Los Angeles Clippers, he became the first basketball player in the NBA to be trained by his own dad. He is still active in the National Basketball Association, playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Born on June 27, 1995, the youngest of the family, Spencer Rivers is six years younger than his big sister, Callie. Just like every other member of the Rivers family, Spencer started playing basketball early and was active during his days at the University of California, Irvine. He is currently listed as a skills development coach with the Philadelphia 76ers – a position he attained on November 9, 2020. One interesting fact about Spencer’s job is that he is working under the watch of his father, the head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to Callie Rivers, it was not easy for her as an only daughter in a male-dominated family, and she just had to turn into a tomboy to cope. Describing her childhood experience, Callie said she became really aggressive because if she tried the soft approach, she would never get what she wanted from the boys. She told the Gainesville Sun in 2007 how her brothers always roughhouse, and she often joined them in playing tag. Callie also confessed that she never had a single Barbie doll in her life.

Her Volleyball Career Started in High School
It was while Rivers was attending the Florida-based Winter Park High School that she launched her volleyball career. Before completing high school, the Atlanta native recorded 2356 attempts, 1394 kills, and 184.5 blocks. Within three seasons, her team bagged a total of 6A state titles. While in high school, Callie was named Florida Gatorade High School Player of the Year once.
Even before she went to the University of Florida, Callie Rivers continued her exploits in volleyball with the USA Junior National A2 Team, which played at the USA Junior Olympic Volleyball tournament. The year 2016 was when the female player was dubbed the MVP in the USA High-Performance Championships.
When she eventually joined the University of Florida in 2007, Callie wasted no time enlisting with the higher institution’s team known as the University of Florida Gators’ volleyball team. Her first year saw her record “the 5th-highest points per game average (3.29) and the 4th-highest kills per game average (2.71)”.
During her sophomore year in 2008, she was instrumental in earning the SEC title for her team. Thanks to this, Callie ended the season notably as the player was named to the AVCA All-America honorable mentions. History repeated itself during her third year when she was also named to the AVCA All-America Third Team. Just like the previous years, Callie Rivers’ final year at the University of Florida was equally memorable as she joined the AVCA All-America First Team.
Her days as a volleyball player at her alma mater lasted from 2007 to 2010, following which she went professional.
Upon her college graduation, Callie inked a deal with Leonas de Ponce as a professional volleyball player. The team is a popular Puerto Rican-based professional female volleyball team. However, after one year’s experience at the Liga de Voleibol Superior Femenino, she decided to give it all up.
Modeling and Social Media
After she quit volleyball, Callie had a brief stint in modeling, though the details still need to be discovered.
Currently, she is trying to build a career on social media, focusing on Instagram. On her handle, @Calliecurry, the former volleyball player, has amassed over 11k followers and still counting. So far, she has shared a total of 1,126 posts.

In December 2022, Callie appeared on Jam Session’s podcast, where she did a review of the Netflix docuseries entitled Harry & Meghan.
Callie Met Seth Curry at a Young Age
The circumstances under which Callie and her husband, Seth Curry, first crossed paths have never been specified, but it is common knowledge that the Rivers and Curry family have been friends for many years.
Before Callie and Seth were born, their fathers, Doc Rivers and Dell Curry, played in the National Basketball Association around the same period.
According to what Doc told Andscape in an April 2019 interview, “The Currys are a great family,” and it is pretty cool to have his only daughter marry into the family. We must also acknowledge the fact that Doc coached Seth for a while.
Besides, Callie Rivers’ younger brother, Austin, played basketball with Seth at Duke University between 2011 and 2012. Austin said he was really skeptical about his big sister dating an NBA star but was greatly relieved when he found out it was Seth Curry.
Talking about the actual time Callie and Seth officially met and started dating, many said it happened in 2010 when they were at a mutual friend’s party.
Curry Popped the big Question to his Love Interest During the Valentine Day’s Celebration of 2019
Both Callie Rivers and Seth Curry were at a dinner party when the professional basketball player decided to surprise his girlfriend with a marriage proposal. It was the Valentine’s Day celebration of 2019, and the period was the NBA All-Star Weekend. This happened at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, located in Charlotte.
Callie, who answered in the affirmative, took to Twitter to share the good news with fans.
2.14.19 was a DAY.
so thankful & blessed & loved & happy & positive & complete 💕💕— callie rivers curry (@calliecurry) February 15, 2019
Seth was quite the gentleman with his marriage proposal; he even had to pay Doc Rivers homage first by asking for his daughter’s hand in marriage before popping the Question to Callie.
They Tied The Nuptial Knot in 2019
Six months after his marriage proposal, Seth Curry made an honest woman of Callie as the duo exchanged wedding vows on September 14, 2019. Their wedding ceremony was a beautiful affair, hosted in Malibu, California, with family and friends in attendance.
Seth’s best man was his basketball superstar brother, Steph Curry, and the flower girls were his two daughters, Riley and Ryan. Callie and Seth’s daughter, Carter, who was then-one, followed her cousins down the aisle.
Reportedly, Doc Rivers picked up the wedding bills, and according to the basketball coach, he was happy to foot the bill. Describing Seth as a gentleman, Doc said every father’s dream is to get his daughter weeded to a man like him.
When Callie Rivers turned 30 a few days after their nuptials, Seth took to Instagram to wish her a happy birthday with some of her bridal shots. Rivers reciprocated the gesture a few days later with another IG post where they were seen kissing with the caption, “forever.”
It has been four years of marital bliss for the couple, and from what is obvious, they look set for the “forever happily after” kind of marriage.
Callie and Seth are Parents to Three Children
Callie and Seth are parents to three beautiful children – two boys and one girl.
The celebrity couple welcomed the first fruit of their union, Carter Lynn Curry, on May 9, 2018. Carter, who was barely a year old during her parent’s wedding, is now 4 and should be in the process of acquiring her earliest academic pursuits, but the details are not known.
On Carter’s third birthday celebration in 2021, her parents took to Instagram to wish her well with a heartwarming caption.
Set and Callie became second-time parents in November 2021 when the couple welcomed their first son, Cash Curry. Before his birth, Callie shared a picture of her baby bump but didn’t announce the baby’s gender, nor did she say anything about her due date. Cash is currently 2 and is already a big brother to the couple’s third child.
Earlier in April 2023, Callie Rivers took to her IG handle to share the good news about her third baby, who was expected later in the year.
Eventually, on June 17, 2023, Seth and Callie welcomed their baby number three, whom they named Cruz Lennox Curry.
