Football fans have watched Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson thrill them on the field of play since he joined the National Football League.

As per his personal life, Wilson was first married to high school sweetheart Ashton Meem, whom he divorced in 2014 and subsequently met and tied the knot with American R&B singer Ciara.

While Wilson and Ciara now have two children of their own, the couple is also parenting Future Zahir, the child of his wife's ex-fiancé rapper Future. Previous interviews from Ciara have indicated that Wilson has a close relationship with his children, particularly his stepson.

Russell Wilson And Ciara's Love Story

Wilson and Future's mother, Ciara, married on July 6, 2016, after a year of dating. The singer told E! News last year that the first time she saw the NFL player, she knew he'd be the "best father" to their mixed family.

"I can say after the first time of being around each other, I knew he was going to be everything that I could have hoped for and dreamed of, just to be honest, and especially in the case of raising kids," she said at the time.

The footballer also shared similar feelings in the same interview revealing that the singer had his heart from the get-go.

"I would say the first five minutes I met C, I knew she was going to be my wife, and I also knew she was going to be a great mom, and I think that she's everything that you'd want her to be in terms of being so caring,"

Russell Wilson Is Dedicated To His Family

Apart from parenting Future, the couple has two additional children: Sienna Princess Wilson, born on April 28, 2017, and Win Harrison Wilson, born on July 23, 2020.

Being a footballer and being involved in several endorsements and commercial ventures, including a clothing line, has not prevented the 33-year-old from prioritizing his family. During a "Good Morning America" interview, Ciara confirmed that he gives his best despite his hectic schedule.

"As crazy as his schedule can be, and, of course, my schedule is crazy … he finds a way to make it happen, and he wants to make sure he doesn't miss anything, even if he's not physically there," Ciara said in the 2021 interview.
