‘Yay Win’: Russell Wilson and Fans Celebrate His and Ciara’s Son Taking His First Steps

Russell and Ciara Wilson’s youngest child, Win Wilson, is walking!

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback shared the exciting news on his Instagram page with his followers. On Aug. 4, Wilson uploaded three photos, one with Ciara, Win, another hidden figure that may be his daughter, Sienna, and himself sitting on the practice field.

In the second photo, Wilson and his wife are all smiles as he holds his son, but Ciara is not pictured in the last photo.

The caption reads, “Win’s first steps! Witnessing Win walk on the practice field for the first time.. it hit me that God orders our steps. “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He continued, “So many times in life I would always want to control & decide what is best or what I should do. Going into year 10 & watching my kids grow has given me such a perspective in life of a “Rookie.” Knowing that in the Game of Life that Jesus is the Quarterback. I thank You Jesus for allowing me to Let Go & Let God! I praise You!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾”

Fans celebrated with the Wilson family on the youngest member’s accomplishment. One person said, ”Yay Win!! 🙌🏾❤️.” Others could not help but acknowledge that Win’s first steps were ironically on his father’s practice field. One expressed that the toddler would grow up to be a football player like Wilson. That person wrote, “Future QB1 right there!” Someone else said, “Win’s first steps on the field. How ceremonious!”

Wilson and Ciara have been married for five years and have a total of three children. Ciara welcomed her first son Future Zahir Wilburn with her ex-fiancé and rapper Future. After Ciara and Russell tied the knot, they welcomed their daughter Sienna, 4, and last year she gave birth to Win.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
