Moments before revealing the baby’s sex, the “Level Up” singer turned to her children and asked what gender they wanted the baby to be. Baby Future yelled, “Boy,” while Sienna said she wanted a sister.

After the proud parents revealed they were having a baby boy with blue smoke, the entire Wilson family could hardly contain their excitement. Ciara even did a small victory dance.

Fans instantly flooded them with congratulatory remarks.

In 2018, Ciara told Essence she was extremely happy to be a mother of two.

“When you have two kids it’s double the love. With Russ, Future and Sienna, I have an abundance of love, so it just feels really good,” she said. “As an entertainer when you’re just going and going, and with business when you’re really driven, when you have days like Mother’s Day you take the moment to put all of that to the side and really be normal and embrace that special part of life.”

Ciara shares her 5-year-old son with rapper Future. She and Wilson, starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, welcomed Sienna in April 2017.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
