‘I’m Still Laughing’: Ciara Catches Her Husband Russell Hitting the ‘Renegade’ in His Sleep and Leaves Fans in Stitches

It looks like Ciara isn’t the only one with the moves.

The singer’s husband, Russell Wilson, may have upstaged his wife in the dance department this week when he showcased a few jigs of his own. On Sunday, the mother of two posted a video of her husband dancing to K-Camp‘s trending song “Lottery.”

Ciara walked in their bedroom and recorded her husband lying in bed sleep. She played “Renegade” and told Wilson, “Go head babe.” The Seattle Seahawks quarterback began dancing to the song as his wife hyped him up, then turned around and went back to sleep.

The “1, 2 Step” singer can be heard in the background of the video laughing. She wrote in her Instagram caption, “Woke up to My Valentine @DangeRussWilson laughing. I Luv Me Some Him πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°β€οΈ”

The couple’s fans flooded Ciara’s post with comments.

“Hits the renegade then turns and goes back to sleep 😴 πŸ˜‚ gotta luv this guy”

“Never even opened his eyes πŸ˜‚ the literal definition of ‘I can do that in my sleep’ πŸ˜©πŸ™ŒπŸΎ I love you two!”

“Y’all are so cute! Get it Russ!’ πŸ”₯πŸ‘πŸΎβ™₯️ he has an awesome sense of humor. πŸ˜‚ this is the best way to wake up!”

“When dat #DirectDeposit hit at midnight and u ain’t gotta open yo eyes to checkπŸ”₯πŸ˜‚β€οΈ Russ ain’t open his eyes one bit! I’m still laughing 🀣”

Although Wilson won fans over with a few of his moves, Ciara takes the crown when it comes to dancing.

She was recently the talk of conversation when she began twerking onstage at a Bulgari event in Brooklyn, New York, on Feb. 8, with a baby bump. She dipped to the floor while dancing to her song “Goodies” and began gyrating. Fans at her concert went wild and so did social media users.

“Being pregnant and in a healthy relationship probably is the best feeling I would be twerking too. Go sis πŸ‘πŸ½,” one person wrote on Instagram at the time.

Another commented, “Hold up I’m not even pregnant and still can’t do this 😩. She’s killing it!”

Ciara and Wilson are expecting baby number three. They share a daughter and the singer has a son from a previous relationship. Ciara’s due date is not known at the time.

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.
