Inside Ciara and Russell Wilson's Growing Family
Ciara and Russell Wilson are expanding their family. "You look at me like that again, we make another kid…You my heart I'm your rib," the "1, 2 Step" singer wrote on Instagram in August, revealing in the accompanying video that she was pregnant with her fourth child (her third with Wilson). The couple, who famously vowed to remain celibate until marriage, tied the knot in 2016, shortly after Ciara ended her engagement to the rapper Future, with whom she shares her eldest child, a son named Future.
As the Wilsons await the arrival of their newest bundle of joy, let's celebrate the three kids they have so far.

Does Ciara have kids?
Yes! Ciara is mom to three children, with a fourth on the way.
Who is the father of Ciara's oldest child?
Ciara shares her oldest child, 9-year-old Future Zahir Wilburn, with her former fiancé Future. The two started dating in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and welcomed their son in 2014. They split not long after the child's birth, however, amid rumors the rapper was unfaithful.
Although TMZ reported in 2017 that Ciara and Future agreed to joint custody of their son, their road to a resolution was far from smooth.
For instance, Future made headlines in July 2015 for negatively addressing a photo of Russell Wilson pushing his son in a stroller. "You never do that in our community," he said on The Breakfast Club. "You don't even bring a man around your son. You only know this dude for a few months and you're bringing him around your kid? Who does that?"
He followed those comments up a few months later with Tweets that alleged he had to go through lawyers to see his child.
Eventually, Ciara sued her ex for $15 million, alleging that the rapper had slandered and libeled her in "multiple false and defamatory statements," but she dropped the case a year later.

Ciara shares her oldest son with the rapper Future, but the couple split shortly after their child's birth. The "Body Party" singer married NFL star Russell Wilson two years later and from all appearances, he dove whole-heartedly into step-parenting.
In a 2021 interview with GQ, he said of his role, "...the reality of being a stepparent is that biologically they’re not necessarily yours, but the reality is that you have to love them as if they are. They’re your own blood in a way. You get to love them that way. And I think every kid deserves that and needs that and yearns for that."
Sienna (b. April 28, 2017)
