The “Level Up” songtress, 34, posted a photo of herself rocking a red bikini with her baby bump showing. Wilson, 31, followed his pregnant wife’s lead and posted a selfie with her in the background. Although, she’s somewhat blurred out of the frame, fans can still make out her bare bulging belly.

The pair captioned their posts “Number 3.” and credited each other for taking the images.

Ciara and her hubby are currently vacationing in Turks and Caicos, according to the Instagram story by the Seattle Seahawks star.

The couple’s pregnancy announcement comes a few weeks after fans speculated they were expecting.

A Jan. 12 post showed the mother of two wearing an olive green jersey with the number three on it. She also wrote along the photo “#3.” Many fans thought she was paying homage to her husband, who wears the number as his jersey, while others thought she hinted at being pregnant again.

Ciara and Wilson share 2-year-old daughter Sienna Princess together and the singer also is the mother of 5-year-old Future Zahir from her former relationship with ex-fiancé and rapper Future.

The couple initially began dating in 2015 and eventually tied the knot a year later in England.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
