'I'm Going to Be Single for About 10 Years': Russell Wilson Reveals the Promise He Made to Himself Before Meeting Ciara — and Why It Didn’t Last
Wilson said he wrote down five relationship qualities and met Ciara three days later, a moment he credits to prayer and faith.
- During a recent interview on the 'Baby, this is Keke Palmer' podcast, Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback Russell Wilson revealed he 'manifested' his marriage to Grammy-winning singer Ciara by writing a list of five specific qualities he desired in a future wife.
- While dining with his pastor, Wilson drafted the list, including faith, faithfulness, independence, a nurturing spirit like his mother Tammy Wilson, and a presence that could 'tilt the room.' He and his pastor prayed over it, viewing the number five as representing grace.
- Remarkably, Wilson met Ciara just three days after creating the list. When asked previously who he could envision himself with, he jokingly answered 'Ciara,' adding, 'Despite being told she might not be interested. She ain't met me yet.'
- The couple began dating in 2015, marrying the following year to build a blended family. Ahead of their 10-year anniversary, they remain one of sports and entertainment's most admired power couples, frequently speaking publicly about faith and partnership.
- Earlier this month, Wilson announced his retirement from football after 14 years in the league. Together, the couple raises Ciara's son, Future Zahir, plus their three children: Sienna Wilson, Win Wilson, and Amora Wilson.
