Jessica Pegula’s husband shares laughs with Steph Curry at US Open

Jessica Pegula faced Aryna Sabalenka in the U.S. Open final on Saturday evening, where she ultimately lost in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5. Despite the defeat, her husband, Taylor Gahagan, had a memorable experience at Arthur Ashe Stadium. He had the opportunity to meet NBA star Stephen Curry, whom he greatly admires. Pegula humorously shared that Gahagan's iPhone is named 'Steph Curry' due to his fandom, which he mentioned to Curry during their interaction. The couple had previously met Curry during the Olympics in Paris, where he won his first gold medal with the U.S. men's basketball team. This connection added a personal touch to their encounter at the tennis event. Gahagan's excitement was palpable, and Pegula expressed her concern about whether he had shared the iPhone anecdote with Curry, which he did, leading to a light-hearted moment. Gahagan, who married Pegula in 2021, has a background in sports and entertainment management, having worked for her parents, the owners of the Buffalo Bills. He currently serves as the vice president of Pegula's skincare brand, Ready 24, and is involved in her charitable foundation, A Lending Paw. This blend of personal and professional life showcases their strong partnership. While the match did not end in Pegula's favor, the humorous interaction between Gahagan and Curry provided a silver lining to an otherwise disappointing day for Pegula, highlighting the importance of support and laughter in challenging moments.
