Russell Wilson Shuts Down the Internet with Mother’s Day Gift to Mom, Makes Sweet Request from Ciara

Russell Wilson treated his mother and wife Ciara to a very special Mother’s Day Sunday, and while a candid moment with the singer generated laughs among fans, the gift the athlete gave his mom had jaws on the floor.

First, Wilson posted a cute clip of him wishing his “Dose” singer a happy Mother’s Day, his message of which had Ciara cracking up.

“Happy Mother’s Day to the prettiest girl in the world, the sweetest thing, most precious, most loving, kind thoughtful,” Wilson says, later inducing laughter in his wife. “That’s what you are. I love you. … So uh, that third baby? You’re such a good mom. You amazing, so, like, I was just tryna see … You know I believe in the number 3, too.”

“Stop!” Ciara says with a laugh before thanking her man, whose Seattle Seahawks jersey number is 3, for his wishes.

“So, for real, though. That baby?” Wilson says.

“Stop, babe,” Ciara responds.

The moment led to laughter from fans.

“🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This is so cute Ciara cutes.”

“Russ you be trippin 😂”

“🤣🤣😂😂”

However, they also made it clear they’re ready for the singer to hit the road in support of her newly released album “Beauty Marks.”

“I’m with you Russ @dangerusswilson but can CSQUAD get a tour first theeeeen you can have a baby lol.”

“Ok but first we need 3 more videos, UK Tour and 1 more album then you guys can start with baby 3.. 👊💖”

“BYE RUSS! We need the tour first! Then you can have at it 😩”

But Ciara wasn’t the only woman in the Seahawks quarterback’s life who had a good Mother’s Day.

Tammy Wilson, the football star’s mother, got the shock of a lifetime when he and Ciara walked her up to her new home.

“What’s this?” Mama Wilson says.

“It’s the key to your house,” her son casually responds. “It’s your house. Open the door!”

“You’re lying! Are you serious?!” she exclaims.

Tammy remained in disbelief as she looked around her, trying to make sense of what she heard. She burst into tears, feeling so elated that her son presented her with such a gift. She eventually walked up the steps to the home and turned the key.

“All these years you have never asked me for anything… only thing you ever wanted is for me to LOVE. Well thanks for loving us the way you do. This ones for you. I love you momma. #HappyMothersDay #GodIsGood 🏡,” the star captioned the video.

The moment had fans in awe.

“Omg my soul just burst!! So much goodness 🥰💖🤩💖”

“So dope. What’s it’s about, man. Congrats to her!”

“Wow how wonderful such a blessing you guys have such a big heart❤️❤️”

“Omg! So amazing ❤️😘”

Wilson has never been shy about professing his love to his wife and mom for Mother’s Day. Ahead of May 12, he sent a video message of himself with daughter Sienna and stepson Future to Ciara while she promoted her new album on “The View” last week. It resulted in a flood of tears from the appreciative singer.

And in 2017, Wilson presented his mom with a bouquet of flowers and a loving letter to his “strong, generous and loving” mother.

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.
