Ciara’s Support of Husband Russell Wilson During Seahawks Game Is Everything

Ciara has been focusing on her new music lately but that doesn’t mean she won’t take time to support her husband Russell Wilson in his career.

As the quarterback’s Seattle Seahawks team took on the Dallas Cowboys in Seattle Sunday, Ciara shared a video on her Instagram Story of her watching the game on TV in her Toronto hotel room before performing that night in a stop on the Bruno Mars 24K Magic World Tour.

“Lets’ go Seahawks, let’s go! Woo, woo!” CiCi chants as she roots on the team.

Ci’s cheering may have worked for them, too. The Seahawks won the Week 3 NFL game 24-13, making it their first win of the 2018 season.

This isn’t the first time Ciara has cheered on her hubby, by a long shot.

Not long after the couple got together in 2015, Ciara was seen on Instagram posing alongside her then-boyfriend and uploading photos with captions like, “After Practice With @DangeRussWilson Like 🙂 3’s Up! Go @SeaHawks! #12’s.”

While speaking to MTV that year, she remarked about how ready she was to cheer on the team in the stands of CenturyLink Field.

“I’m excited, it’s exciting, go Hawks! Yes, yes yes. ‘3’s up,’ that’s what I always say,” Ciara said, referring to Wilson’s jersey number.

“Let me tell you, the 12th man is real. I’ve never seen anything like this but it’s so exciting,” she added. “I got to go to one of the preseason games and the roar was deafening. It was so loud, but one of the coolest things to see. I’m excited for the guys.”

That excitement for the team has endured over the years, despite Ciara being born in Austin, Texas, and settling in Atlanta. More recently, CiCi and her son Future as well as her daughter with Wilson, Sienna, were decked out in matching Wilson Seahawks jerseys and coordinating Nike footwear.

“Let’s Go @SeaHawks Let’s Go! #3 #12 @DangeRussWilson #GameDay 💙💚💙💚,” the “Dose” singer captioned her quick clip of the family supporting the QB earlier this month.

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.
