Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleSinger Ciara, 40, and husband Russell Wilson, 37, announced on September 6, 2026, that they are expecting their fourth child together. Sharing a sweet video on Instagram showing their kids' shirts on a clothesline with a new onesie, they wrote, "One more person to Love."
The couple, who married in 2016 and share daughters Sienna and Amora and son Win, plus Future Jr., have built their romance around faith, family, and mutual support through music and football. Ciara is also a mother of another child with her ex, Future.
Ciara and Russell Wilson first met in early 2015 at a Wisconsin basketball game, and just weeks later they made their first major public appearance together at the White House State Dinner for Japan in April 2015. That night essentially confirmed the rumors that the singer and the Seattle Seahawks quarterback were dating.
Throughout 2015, they went from casual dates to being inseparable, often seen courtside and at charity events, and they went Instagram official that summer. What set them apart from the start was how vocal they were about faith. In interviews that year, Russell shared that God had told him to lead Ciara and that they had decided to remain celibate until marriage, a decision that got a lot of media attention and shaped how people saw them as a couple.
In March 2016, while on a private vacation in the Seychelles, Russell proposed with a stunning diamond ring, and Ciara captured the emotional moment on video where she was visibly in tears.
Four months later, on July 6, 2016, they married at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England, in front of about 100 close friends and family, including Serena Williams and Kelly Rowland. Ciara wore a custom Roberto Cavalli dress, and the wedding was described as a fairy-tale, intimate, and far from the typical celebrity spectacle.
The family slowly started expanding. On April 28, 2017, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Sienna Princess Wilson. Russell also formally embraced his role as a father figure to Ciara's eldest son, Future Zahir, whom she shares with rapper Future, often saying fatherhood was bigger than football. On July 23, 2020, their son Win Harrison Wilson was born during the height of the pandemic, and they shared the news with a joyful family video.
Between 2020 and 2023, their partnership expanded beyond home. They launched their fashion house, The House of LR&C; their Why Not You Foundation focused on education and children's health; and a production company called Why Not You Productions. They navigated career shifts together, from Russell's trade to Denver to Ciara's musical comeback with singles like How We Roll. On December 11, 2023, they welcomed their second daughter together, Amora Princess, announced with Ciara dancing in silhouette by a pool.
Before finding each other, both Ciara and Russell Wilson had high-profile previous relationships. Ciara was previously with rapper Future. They started dating in early 2013 and quickly became one of hip-hop and R&B's most talked-about couples. Future proposed in October 2013 with a 15-carat ring, and Ciara announced her pregnancy shortly after.
Their son, Future Zahir Wilburn, was born on May 19, 2014. The engagement ended just months later in August 2014 amid reports of Future's infidelity while Ciara was pregnant. Their split was very public and difficult, leading to co-parenting tensions over the years, though Ciara has always kept the focus on raising her son. She has spoken about that period as a moment that taught her what she truly wanted and deserved in a partner.
On the other hand, Russell Wilson was previously married to Ashton Meem. The two met in high school in Richmond, Virginia, and later started dating. They married on January 14, 2012, at the Country Club of Virginia, before Russell was drafted by the Seahawks. The marriage lasted just over two years, and they announced their divorce in April 2014. In a brief statement at the time, Russell said they had made the difficult decision to separate and asked for prayers. Ashton has stayed almost entirely out of the public eye since.
