It’s a big day for the Wilson family, because the Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson is on the latest cover of the Wheaties cereal box. 

“It is an exciting day for our household,” said Ciara. “Russ, we are so proud of you. He’s on the cover of Wheaties. It’s historic, it’s amazing. … We love you.”

The singer’s son Future also had something to say. “Kids, eat your Wheaties,” he yelled. And Ciara’s daughter Sienna said “Dada” after she was asked who was on the box.

Wilson wasn’t in the clip, but he posted his own video about being on the box from the Seahawks’ CenturyLink field.

Meanwhile, the star quarterback gushed about Ciara in a recent interview and talked about how wonderful a mother she is. The couple has been married for two years after they exchanged vows in an English castle.

“She’s the best mother,” he stated. “She reminds me of my mom. Just how much love she gives to our kids, and to people in general. I’m a warm-hearted person, I think, but when I met her and got to be around her more and more, she made me better. That’s what you want in love, someone who can make you better.”

Wilson also touched on being a stepparent to little Future, and says it gives him a chance to set some good examples.

“That’s the greatest miracle of all. I am super grateful for that,” he explained. “Me being a stepdad too and just being able to lead.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
