Ciara Fans Can’t Believe How Much Baby Future Is Starting to Look Like Stepdad Russell Wilson

Ciara made cheering on her husband, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, a family affair Sunday, Sept. 9 and fans are taking notice of how remarkably similar baby Future looks to his stepdad.

“Let’s Go @SeaHawks Let’s Go! #3 #12 @DangeRussWilson #GameDay 💙💚💙💚,” Ci-Ci captioned the video of herself, Sienna Princess and her son decked out in the Seahawks’ team jerseys.

Fans who noticed the supportive family moment remarked on how much Future Zahir, whose dad is rapper Future, is starting to look like his stepdad.

“When you’re looking more like your step-daddy instead of your father. Future f—ed up big time.”

“@_cvkee I said to myself is that Russell’s son then I said wait he’s too old! He does look like him…”

Wilson has firmly embraced his role as stepdad since beginning his relationship with Ciara and that has only deepened after the couple wed in 2016.

Just days ago, Wilson helped sent young Future off on his first day of school.

“Through all the blessings… there is no greater blessing than this lil man! Future’s First Day of School! Week 1 for both of us! 🙏🏾@Ciara,” the QB wrote in the caption of his Instagram video.

The post won heavy applause from fans who delighted in Wilson embracing his role as stepdad in the child’s life.

“Russ, a Real father 💜 a Real dad 💜 💜 my heart melts 💜💜💜.”

“❤️ He’s so lucky to have you in his life as a great step daddy and a great role model.”

“You’re so awesome of a man @dangerusswilson.”

It’s a far cry from the criticism Wilson had previously received when shared a video of Future calling him “Papa” two years ago.

“Baby future should call him Russell. Anything else is Ciara’s doing.”

“Hahaaaa Ciara out here ruthless af. Why would you post a video of that man’s son calling someone papa Russell. No respect.”

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.
