After 2 Years of Wedded Bliss, Ciara Gives Advice on How to Find Love

Ciara has learned a few things about finding love. The singer has been married to Russell Wilson for two years and her journey to marrying the Seattle Seahawks quarterback has given her lots of knowledge on how to find love.

In a recent interview with Refinery29, the “Dose” singer explained how others can become lucky in love.

“Be patient for the right moment, you don’t want to rush love. Be specific and clear on what you desire,” she said in the article published Thursday, Nov. 1. “When we become clear, we make better decisions versus listening to the first words somebody tells you. It always sounds good in the beginning, but what are they actually saying?

“Sometimes, you can get discouraged when you feel like, ‘Wow, that was years of my life. What are you doing with your time?’ But the reality is, time keeps going forward,” she added, encouraging those hopeful for a relationship not to get burnt out by things not going their way.

Ciara may be good on the love front now, but she’s had her fair share of failed relationships before then.

The mother of 1-year-old Princess Sienna and 4-year-old Future Zahir went through a public broken engagement with rapper Future, who is the father of her son. She’s also had high-profile relationships with rappers 50 Cent and Shad “Bow Wow” Moss and reportedly had a brief fling with Cam Newton.

But now, Ciara is soaking up time with Wilson and things seem stronger than ever between the two. The QB recently surprised his bride during a tour stop in California last month. And Ciara regularly supports her athlete spouse as she makes her way around North America as an opener on the 24K Magic Tour.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
