‘Not Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson’: Folks Crack Up After Russell Wilson Shares Video of Fans Referring to Him as ‘Ciara’s Husband’

Fans praised Russell Wilson for his chivalry after an excited fan referred to the Denver Bronco as “Ciara’s husband” in a since deleted video. Wilson was in London with his wife for a meet-and-greet prior to playing in the NFL’s international series this October.  

The fan seemingly got tongue-tied while thinking of Wilson’s name in the video and introduced him as the husband of singer Ciara, and the quarterback took it in stride. He proudly proclaimed that he was Ciara’s husband.

“This is Ciara’s husband, that she manifested,” said the fan. Wilson seemed unfazed and confirmed that he was the singer’s husband.  

“You know what?” he replied. “I’m Ciara’s husband.”  

Fans loved his response and responded in the comment section. “It’s Russell being Proud for me,” one fan replied. “Awwww. I love that for her. He’s Ciara’s Husband.” 

Some fans had jokes after seeing the woman refer to Wilson as Ciara’s husband that she “manifested.” 

“Not Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson but Ciara’s manifested husband,” joked one fan in the comments. “She was so confused,” laughed another. “Ciara’s husband that she manifested,” wrote another fan followed by laughing-crying emojis.

Wilson seemed unbothered as he told the fans they were all good and asked if they would be rooting for the Denver Broncos for the upcoming games in London, to which they cheered.  

The quarterback also shared pictures of his visit to London with Ciara on social media, including several of the couple enjoying a tennis match at Wimbledon. He captioned the post by saying he was in the Royal Box with the Queen herself.  

“WIMBLEDON Royal Box w/ the Queen herself! @Ciara @Wimbledon.” 

The Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars are scheduled to play in London at the Wembley Stadium on Oct. 30.  

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.
