Ciara’s Family Christmas Video Derailed When Discussion Erupts Over Son Future Still Wearing Pull-Ups

Ciara and husband Russell Wilson woke up on Christmas morning with their children next to one another, and instead of fans largely applauding the cuddly family moment, they turned their focus to young Future Zahir’s pull-ups.

It began when the “Dose” singer shared a clip with fans of how she and her Seattle Seahawks quarterback spouse planned to spend the morning with their kids.

“Future, you wanna go see some toys?” Ci-Ci asked her oldest child after asking the same to daughter Sienna.

He explained he wanted a pillow fight, much to his mother’s surprise.

“I’m gon’ win that pillow fight,” Future’s stepdad Wilson chimes in.

“#Christmas Mornin… @DangeRussWilson ☺️😎🎄🎅🏽,” Ciara captioned the clip.

Several fans ate up the family bonding session.

“😍This whole family is goals!!!!! Merry Christmas.❤️💚”

“😩😩 my ovaries.”

But then, many began wondering why 4-year-old Future was still wearing pull-ups after one fan asked how old he was.

“@kingrita__ i know you’re asking because of that pull up. Everyone is thinking it but no one will say it. 🤐”

“Does he have on a pull-up?”

“Why does future have on a pull up he has got to be at least 5 or 6 and not fully potty trained but not my business by the way merry Christmas to u all.”

“Is he still in pull ups🤔”

Several mentioned their own children were potty trained by or before that age.

“@shakiasays2 bullshit! I know 2 and 3yr olds fully potty trained.”

“@babystac12 yes I have a child my daughter was potty trained at 3 no accident at night or in the day time either 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ what about u 🙄🙄🤔🤔”

However, many swooped in to defend the boy, citing the factor that children his age could wet the bed overnight. They also mentioned that it’s up to his parents to decide what he wears to sleep.

“@drea_baby_0213 A child can be potty train and still have accidents especially at night.”

“@aj703 He’s only 4 clown….accidents happen and it’s nothing wrong with a child wearing a pull up at night….you do know bed wetting is still a thing for most 4 year olds?! smh!!!!”

“@the_blonde_hottie at night and so what it’s not your child!!!”

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.
