R&B singer Ciara and retired NFL star Russell Wilson are about to be a family of seven.
The couple, who recently celebrated 10 years of marriage, announced they are expecting another child.
For nearly two years, Wilson has been begging his wife to have another baby and even nicknamed the child “Cinco.”
The Wilsons received an outpouring of love from fans online after revealing her baby bump in a sweet Instagram post on Sept. 6, as many have suspected for months that Ciara was pregnant.
But that wasn’t the end of their celebration. What followed was a clip of them telling their four little ones the news.
Calling it the “Best Moment of All,” th shared the moment in a Sept. 7 video where their eldest son, Future, had an unforgettable reaction.
The parents appeared in the 67-second clip wearing all black, with Wilson explaining to their kids what they’re doing.
“We’re going to send a photo, right, and a little video to Cheeks and to Grandpa Carlton and Grandma Jackie, OK?”
Cheeks is the nickname Wilson’s mother, Tammy Wilson, prefers instead of Grandma. Ciara’s parents are Jackie and Carlton Harris.
Future, Ciara’s oldest son, is immediately confused as he turns to his stepdad and asks, “Why?”
Keeping the mystery for a few more seconds, Wilson simply responded, “Because we got to send it to them OK.”
The retired athlete led the kids into chanting “Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco,” before Ciara opened her jacket to reveal her belly.
“We’re having another baby,” she and Russell shouted. Stepping to the side and covering his mouth in shock, Future, 12, exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! Actually!?”
His siblings, Sienna Princess, 9, and Win Harrison, 6, crowded around their mom as she held the third sibling, Amora Princess, 2, in her arms.
Future ran into the other room, excited and screaming, “No way,” and his siblings followed suit.
He then threw his hands up and told his parents, “The speculations were true. I knew it,” then continued howling and screaming, “Let’s go.”

Fans on Instagram commented on the kids getting another sibling and noted how hilarious it was seeing Future’s over-the-top reaction.
One person said, “Cracking up at Future saying ‘the speculations were true.’” Another typed, “I think Future enjoys being a big brother.”
Others seemed impressed and confused by how Ciara hid her baby bump at home from her children.
“Wait if your babies didn’t notice that bump, we didn’t stand a chance,” said one. Another typed, “You been hiding from them, Cici?”
All year long, Ciara has kept fans on their toes with baby speculation, switching between skin-tight looks and baggy attire.
Earlier this year, in March, the “Level Up” singer posted a photo of her wearing a black pleated skirt with a leather jacket, and fans swore they saw a baby bump.
That same month, she shared a video of her strutting in a silver see-through skirt with a gray crop top. Her belly was more exposed in the outfit, and it appeared to be a bit rounded.
However, in other posts, her midriff looked rather slim, which caused confusion.
But now that’s all been put to rest since her announcement.
Their Sept. 6 collab clip opens with a shot panning across a clothesline. It initially shows four white T-shirts hanging, then ends with Ciara clipping a white baby onesie on the line.
“One more person to love,” they wrote in the caption.
The carousel included a photo of each shirt with their kid’s name in order, and the onesie was blank. It’s not clear what the baby’s gender is or how far along Ciara is.
When Ciara initially started dating Wilson in 2015, she already had 1-year-old Future. She welcomed him with her ex-fiancé, the rapper Future.
Wilson, who retired this year after 14 seasons and one Super Bowl victory as an NFL quarterback, quickly stepped in as Future’s stepfather and has been praised for taking on that father figure role so well.
