‘Why Am I Crying?!’: Ciara’s Fans Swoon Over the Singer’s Heartfelt Post to Husband Russell

Ciara took to Instagram on Jan. 11 to pen a special message to her husband, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson, who played his last game for the Seahawks 2021 football season this past weekend, ended the game on a high note, winning against the Arizona Cardinals 38-30. Despite the win, the Seahawks finished with a 7-10 overall record. This made for Wilson’s worst season as the team’s quarterback.

In addition to the video, the 36-year-old expressed how proud she was of her husband on and off the field. She wrote, You battled. You endured. You persevered. You conquered! Even on the toughest days you still Win by how you lead and how you love!”

Still independent.

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.
