‘He in Love Love’: Russell Wilson and Ciara’s Selfie Leaves Fans Gushing

A simple picture of Ciara and Russell Wilson together has hundreds of the singer’s fans gushing.

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the husband and wife caught Game 2 in the MLB’s American League East playoffs as the New York Yankees took on the Minnesota Twins. Decked out in Yankees gear in Yankee Stadium this weekend, Ciara and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Wilson saw their team win 8-2 over the Twins.

“Yankee Days with my Baby @DangeRussWilson❀️” the “Set” singer captioned the post.

Soon, many fans began fawning over the apparent love between the spouses.

“He in love love”

“@ciara OMG CIARA!!! U are truly blessed! I love u guys bond! I only pray one day I can experience it! You guys are an inspiration πŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺπŸΎπŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ #TooGetherForever”

“Cutest genuine couple alert πŸ§‘πŸ™πŸ» @ciara @dangerusswilson”

“@dangerusswilson is a savage u guys are a power couple to the extreme”

Things took a turn, however, when fans began remarking on Russell’s hairdo: cornrows.

“No braids Russ, damn they got you! πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ”

“Russ bro you waiting on the @theshaderoom to post you and those braidsπŸ˜‚ but good win Thursday night πŸ™πŸ½’

“Don’t you braid his hair again, CiCi. 🀣🀣 #couplegoals”

“I hate your hair braided! Let’s the curls flow!”

Still, many others gave the look praise.

“Ok Young Russ with the braids.”

“He better keep them braids n i know that’s right πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½”

“Ok @dangerusswilson look good with the braids in πŸ˜‚πŸ’šπŸ‘ŒπŸΏ”

Back in April, Wilson shared footage of his singer wife braiding down his usually curly, long hair against his scalp.

“When you’re on Easter weekend and your wife’s braiding your hair,” Wilson says in the video as Ciara gripped her husband’s stretched out curls to style them into cornrows.

The reaction to the initial braiding was decidedly negative, with several people bashing Ciara’s efforts. Still, others applauded the apparent love between the spouses.

“Scruggle braids lol”

“The braids are gonna come apart in 5 mins”

“Love them😭😍”

“Black love is the best love πŸ’•πŸ˜©”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” 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.
