‘Tell Me the Prayer Again, Sis’: Ciara’s Lavish Birthday Celebration from Hubby Russell Wilson Has Fans Begging for Her to Share What She Asked God

Russell Wilson’s latest effort for wife Ciara has swiftly led fans to beg the singer for the prayer she made before meeting him.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback apparently flew his bride on a private jet before they took a romantic yacht ride that included a three-course meal with bubble balloons that spelled out “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” outside the boat as the couple made their way down a floral-lined dock complete with a floral archway.

“Exactly where I wanted to be on my B Day!❤️ Babe, you’re the best planner! You’re always so thoughtful. Being in your arms is all I need! Truly grateful. #BirthdayLove,” read the caption of the photo set Ciara shared to her Instagram page on Friday, Oct. 25.

The now-34-year-old was also gifted with a black Hermès handbag from her athlete hubby, who also gave his wife an ode on his own Instagram page.

“Since the moment I met you you’ve gifted me with nothing but Love, Joy, Peace, and 2 Beautiful Children. No gift is worth as much as the Eternal Gift of Love that you have given me and our family. Daddy Loves You. Happy Birthday Baby. I Love You to Heaven and Back. ❤️ @Ciara,” read Wilson’s caption.

The lavish birthday celebration, which followed last year’s bouquet of roses that Wilson surprised his wife with while she was on tour, delighted fans who promptly piled on the praise for Wilson, who has been married to Ciara for three years.

“He put her on a jet then flew her out to a yacht for her birthday…Lordtttt🙌🏾 He is the ideal model of a great husband😂”

“Happy birthday, fave!! So happy to see you with a King who really loves you and who treats you like Queen deserves to be treated. Enjoy your special day!!! 💕💕💕”

“I love the blessing this man has been to you! KEEP SHINING SO BRIGHT YOU GUYS!!!”

And, as is typical of such posts, several fans began praying that the Heavenly Father would bless them with a husband who is equally as romantic.

“God, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others 😩🙏🏾”

“Wow this is beautiful! What were the words to the prayer? I mean like the exact words 👀🤧”

“Tell me the prayer again sis”

Of course, Ciara has said before that it’s not about her prayer but how specific others can be with their own talks with God.

“I did pray for what I needed, too,” she said to Angie Martinez while promoting her album “Beauty Marks” in May. “That’s important. We can want love but what does that mean? I think we have to be really specific about what we’re attracting to our lives because love can look different in different scenarios and in different people. … You gotta be specific.”

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.
