Ciara and Russell Wilson celebrate son's 4th birthday: What to know about their blended family
The singer and NFL star are the parents of a blended family of four kids.
Ciara and Russell Wilson, who have been married for eight years, 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, who turned 4 on July 23, and Amora, who was born in December.
"When you're raising children … you've got to love every single child as if they're yours," Wilson said in the "I Am Athlete" interview. "That's been the greatest gift of raising Future, Sienna, Win and now Amora, it's like, man, God gave me that opportunity to raise them and to love them and to care for them … And there's no difference."
Wilson went on to describe having the "responsibility" of raising four children as "the greatest gift."
When it comes to parenting, Ciara has 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.
