‘Genuine Pregnancy Glow!’: Ciara Proudly Shows Off Her Baby Bump, Stretch Marks, Much to Fans’ Delight

Ciara is showing off her pregnancy glow. The R&B singer, who is pregnant with her third child and second with her NFL quarterback husband Russell Wilson, proudly flaunted her third-trimester baby bump in an outdoor photo shoot.

Clad in a pink bikini top with a plunging neckline that was embellished with a long fringe design over her chest, the Texas native struck one of her poses by placing her hands over her stomach. Ciara rocked a fresh face and accessorized her ’fit with a gold cross necklace and stacked bracelets. The “Level Up” artist appeared to be modeling in her backyard. Her wavy sandy brown hair blew in the wind as the waves from the ocean radiated in the background.

The gorgeous mama embraced the small stretch marks on her belly, causing some fans to compliment the “Level Up” artist for accepting a not-so-picture-perfect body. “Stretch marks 😍😩,” someone gushed, followed by another that said, “Real, authentic … ! Love to see real, raw, and a genuine pregnancy glow!!!!!!!!! Especially, from celebrities! Go, @ciara ❤️🙌🏽.”

Ciara has a 6-year-old son, Future Zahir Wilburn, with her ex-fiancé rapper Future and shares her 3-year-old daughter Sienna Princess Wilson with her husband. The 34-year-old singer has been pregnant throughout the pandemic and revealed in a May interview with “Entertainment Tonight” that her husband was unable to be in the room with her during her ultrasound, sharing that he had to go wait in the car.

“We FaceTimed in the car, and I was in the doctor’s office. That was, like, a really significant moment, I think, in all of this that really marked the time of where I am in my life as a pregnant woman,” Ciara said. “I could not help but think about everything else.” Ciara and Russell are expecting a baby boy sometime this summer, but her official due date is unknown.

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.
