‘Russ Is Lucky’: Ciara Sends the Internet Into a Frenzy After She Cheers Her Husband on With a ‘Dance’

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

Ciara posted a photo of herself and the Seattle Seahawks quarterback leaving Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, Jan. 5, after celebrating Wilson’s win over the Eagles to advance to the second round of the NFL playoffs. The mother of two sported a Seahawks jersey with her husband’s player number, while the athlete himself sported a gray suit.

Celebrating her husband’s football win, Ciara busted out a few of her sexy dance moves on Wilson by shimming up and down. She wrote in her Instagram caption, “Proud of you Baby @DangeRussWilson! Gotta do a dance on ya 1 time. 🤣😍❤️.”

The Wilsons wed in 2016 and welcomed their 2-year-old daughter Sienna Princess Wilson in 2017. Ciara also has 5-year-old son Future Zahir Wilburn, whom she shares with rapper and ex-fiance Future. 

During her appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith‘s “Red Table Talk” in June, Ciara gloated about how she met her husband Wilson.

“It was just, like, calm. We were connecting in every way. … His conversation, it was just different,” she said. “The way that he looked at life was different. Also, the energy with my son, it just felt right. And of course, the consistency. He’s consistent. That consistency is so crucial.”

She continued, ” He was like this, open arms,” she adds, spreading her arms out wide. “And he was like, ‘I got you.’ Just the detail. Whenever he would think about me, he would think about my son. And to love me is to love my son. We come together. It’s dope. It’s a different level of love.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — 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.
