Like Mother, Like Daughter: Fans Gush Over Ciara’s Daughter Growing Up to be a ‘Mini You’

Ciara’s daughter is just a one-year-old, but she might be giving her performer mom a run for her money.

The singer on Friday uploaded a photo collage of her youngest child, Sienna Princess Wilson, doing a shot-for-shot take on her mom’s newest music video for the song “Thinkin Bout You.” The video premiered just days earlier on March 29.

The photo set sees Sienna — or SiSi, as she’s nicknamed — rocking curly hair that’s splayed out on the floor, a straight wig with bangs as she sings into a hairbrush, and a towel and sunglasses just like Ciara donned in her fun new music video.

The screenshots came from a remake of the clip that Ciara shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday, April 3, which won tons of praise from the singer’s fans.

The collage was so cute that Ciara felt compelled to share it on her Instagram page and wrote in the caption Friday, “Haha. Love this. ❤️”

Fans also found humor and cuteness in it and also commented on how Sienna is being molded into her dancer mom.

“Too cute💕💕💕”

“Awww this is adorable😍😍❤️❤️ @ciara”

“When you give birth to a mini you😍”

“Like Mama, like daughter…love it ❤️”

“#littlemama #minime”

This is only the latest glimpse of how Sienna is turning into a miniature version of her mother.

Weeks earlier, Ciara shared a video on Instagram of the toddler rocking her mom’s wig as she raced around the kitchen.

“I just can’t. Princess Sienna is too much. The Lace ain’t ready 🤣🤣🤣 #Girls,” Ciara captioned the Feb. 26 video.

And it seems mom’s love of dance has rubbed off on her daughter too. When Ciara and husband Russell Wilson walked the red carpet at the ESPY Awards in July 2018, they spoke to “Entertainment Tonight” about SiSi’s dancing ability.

“She was dancing to ‘Level Up’ today,” the Seattle Seahawks quarterback began of Sienna moving to her mom’s single at the time. “And she’s grooving, she’s grooving. And I’m like, man, she’s got better rhythm than me! She’s one!”

Still independent.

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.
