Ciara and Russell Wilson are parents of 4: What to know about their blended family
Ciara and Russell Wilson, who have been married since 2016, are the proud parents of a blended family.
Wilson has described being a step-dad to Ciara's son Future as a "gift," and said it was a role he was not scared to take on.
"Stepping in to raise a child with [Ciara] and realizing that, 'OK, God, I know she's the one for me.' But also too, I'm gonna take this responsibility as well," the NFL quarterback said in the Feb. 25 episode of the "I Am Athlete" show on YouTube. "And I was ready for that ... What a gift."
In addition to raising Future, Wilson and Ciara are also the parents of three children together, Sienna, Win and Amora, who was born in December 2023.
Ciara told People that she brought all four kids on tour with her over the summer as a headliner on Missy Elliott's Out of This World Tour.
“Every day is nonstop, but it's chaotic, but I wouldn't have it any other way,” she said. “So first summer [with] four is crazy, but we're doing all right. We're making it happen.”
When it comes to parenting, Ciara has also described the journey as a learning curve full of love.
"Your children challenge you, and you challenge them back. If we can be consistent and persistent, and always put a touch of love in there, it all works itself out," she said in a 2021 episode of "Coach Conversations" on YouTube. "We also have to give grace to ourselves in the process -- it's not going to be perfect."
After giving birth to Amora, Ciara opened up about her postpartum reality and trying to work and take care of herself and her family.
"Trying to lose 70lbs post baby, prepare for a show and tour while breastfeeding, and running my businesses…Shout out to all my mammas out there gettin in, I see you!" the 38-year-old captioned a photo of herself on Instagram.
