Kyle Lowry just wrapped up his 17th season in the NBA and is still making waves as one of the most productive point guards in the association. Known for being a constant grinder on the court with a relentless mindset, Lowry has found tons of success in the league without being the most athletic guy on the floor. His career hit the mountain top of moments in 2019 when Lowry and the Toronto Raptors won the NBA Finals. Beloved in Toronto, Lowry will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it in the Raptors uniform.

One constant that's always been by the side of Lowry is his wife, Ayahna Cornish-Lowry. The couple met in high school and are now married with two children. While it's Lowry who gets a lot of the spotlight as the NBA star, the focus of this piece will be on Kyle Lowry's wife, Ayahna Cornish-Lowry.

Kyle Lowry's wife: Ayahna Cornish-Lowry

Kyle Lowry's wife, Ayahna Lowry

For as much credit as Lowry gets for his basketball career, Ayahna Cornish-Lowry was quite the baller herself. The couple met while both attending Cardinal Dougherty High School in Philadelphia. There, Ayahna was a star on the basketball team who got some big time looks from colleges. She would go on to attend St. Joseph's University where she was widely recognized for a couple of years as the best basketball player on the team. A torn ACL derailed some of her basketball plans going forward but Cornish-Lowry had a super successful basketball career herself.

Because of her extensive basketball background that saw her score over 1,600 points at St. Joseph's, Kyle Lowry's wife Ayahna has an interesting and different perspective at her husband's games than what most wives have. She detailed it in an interview with TheStar in 2019 when she was asked how she watches Kyle's games.

“Courtside, right next to the bench. I like to be close to the action. I watch from a coaching perspective, not from an emotional perspective. It’s very stressful, especially when Kyle and I make eye contact. I don’t focus in on just Kyle, I try to watch the whole game and the whole team and see what’s going on. I love watching it with a basketball eye.”

When asked if she ever gives any tips to Kyle, the answer was a foregone conclusion; of course she does!

“For sure, he’ll come up to me during timeouts, that’s how close I am. If I see something, I try to mouth it to him. Maybe he’ll get it.”

When she's not zoned in on Kyle's games, Ayahna gives a lot of her time to their foundation, “Lowry Love Foundation.”

On the website, Ayahna Cornish-Lowry reveals the mission statement for their foundation that they help run together.

“Through this foundation, our mission is to touch the lives of the underprivileged and disadvantaged in order to promote their attainment of a better quality of life. With the help of the community and our partners, we strive to have a positive impact on the lives of Philadelphians and Torontonians most in need through supportive programs and initiatives.”

Ayahna notes here own upbringing and how she was raised which has brought her to where she is today in her life. But she recognizes not every one is fortunate and that's why the Lowry Love Foundation exists and why she's so passionate about it.

“As a high school student athlete I was given the opportunity to attend Friends Select and Cardinal Dougherty high schools.  During my time at Friends Select I gained an understanding of Quaker heritage and beliefs.  During my time at Cardinal Dougherty I was introduced to Catholic values and practices.  I later went on to attend Saint Joseph’s University on a full athletic scholarship.  During those years of learning different values, practices, and beliefs, I realized that there was great need for public service in the city that I called home.  Through the Lowry Love Foundation we hope to reach as many people as possible to spread love and support.”

Together the couple has two sons, Karter and Kameron Lowry. Both will have incredible genes with both mom and dad having been super successful basketball players. The oldest son, Kameron, is not afraid of the spotlight. He has joined Kyle in a handful of his postgame press conferences throughout the years in Toronto. The young fella never seems to be rattled.

Unlike some basketball wives, Ayahna keeps a pretty low profile and seems to just go with the flow with Kyle's basketball career. She's always present to represent and support at his games and makes sure the young ones are well taken care of as well.

As you can see, the Lowry's are a super close family with Ayahna leading the charge for the group. And now you know a little bit more about Kyle Lowry's wife, Ayahna Cornish-Lowry.
