Fans Crack Up Over Ciara’s Kids Mocking Her Pet Name for Russell Wilson: ‘You Must be Getting On Their Nerves!’

A cute moment singer Ciara captured of her young children has fans doubled over with laughter.

On Wednesday, the singer uploaded a video asking one-year-old Sienna Princess Wilson what her name is for her dad, who is Ciara’s husband Russell Wilson.

“What does Mama call Dada?” she asks in the April 10 clip.

After a pause, the toddler replies, “Babe!”

She continued to repeat the pet name and her older brother, 4-year-old Future Zahir Wilburn, who lives with his mom and Seattle Seahawks quarterback stepdad, joined in.

“Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe!” they chant.

“Future and Sienna mocking me calling Russ Babe 🤣🤣🤣. Never a dull moment,” Ciara captioned the fun clip, in which she tagged her husband of nearly three years.

The video gave the “Thinkin Bout You” singer a laugh and it did the same for her followers.

“Haha, they won! 🙌”

“Out of the mouths of babes❤️ babe, babe, babe😆😆😆😆”

“You must be getting on their nerves 😂😂😂”

“That is hilarious.”

“Lolllllllllll these nowadays know more than the person that push them 😜😂😂🤣🤣😜 bae bae bae bae bae.”

It’s no surprise the kids are so exposed to Ciara’s loving on Wilson. The pair is constantly showing affection to each other off and on social media.

From sharing a smooch on the red carpet to holding hands before taking off on a romantic helicopter ride in Brazil, there’s no mistaking the two have love for each other.

Sometimes, however, Sienna isn’t too keen on their open affection.

The tot once continuously prevented Wilson from giving her mom a kiss as Ciara held Sienna before the spouses went out on a date night.

It was a moment captured on video and uploaded to Wilson’s Instagram page back in February.

“When I’m over here tryin’ to make baby number 3 & baby number 2 stoppin’ it! 😂🤣❤️ @Ciara,” Wilson captioned the video at the time.

Still, the couple definitely has moments where they can be affectionate — even if they have to get crafty about it.

When Ciara teased sexy clips for her “Greatest Love” music video that same month, Wilson made it clear he enjoyed what he saw and left some tell-tale emoji in the comments section.

“🤠🤠🤠🔥🔥🔥”

The two began dating in 2015, and that year they happily discussed their romance with Rolling Stone.

“I knew God had brought me into her life to bless her and for her to bless me and to bless so many people with the impact that she has and I have. …He has anointed both of us — he’s calling for us to do something miraculous and special.” Wilson said in the article.

“We share similar views on pretty much everything. It’s just super organic,” Ciara said in the story.

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.
