Russell Wilson, Ciara Celebrate 9th Anniversary: 'Partnership’ I Prayed For
Russell Wilson and Ciara have been going strong since they first started dating in 2015.
Ahead of their July 2016 nuptials, the couple spoke candidly about their decision to remain celibate until marriage.
“We’re hanging in there. I’m not gonna lie. I’m human, so it is not easy,” Ciara, who was already the mother of son Future Jr. from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Future, told Cosmopolitan in February 2016. “Especially when I look at him and I think he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen — that I’ve ever laid my eyes on, to be honest. I’m like, ‘Look the other way! Look the other way!’”
After tying the knot, Ciara and Wilson went on to welcome daughter Sienna in 2017 and son Win in 2020. Their third baby, and Ciara’s fourth child, daughter Amora was born in December 2023.

The newlyweds joked about their sex life one day after walking down the aisle. “So, baby, you know what we’re doing tonight,” Ciara asked her husband in a Snapchat video in July 2016, to which Wilson said, “And what we did last night, I want to do multiple times.”

He continued: "'Second of all, that wallet, that shows consistency. That's what you're going to get from me. You're going to get somebody who is consistent for you every day. Inside that wallet, there's something that's real in there.'"
