Ciara recently shared the moment she realized that her husband, Russell Wilson, was “the one,” and her story is incredibly heartwarming. During her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer explained, “When you know, you know.”
She reminisced about their initial meeting, recalling how they engaged in such lively conversation that they completely forgot to eat. “It’s funny because we always laugh about how long we talked that first time.” Clarkson chimed in, stating that forgetting to eat could never happen to her, to which Ciara responded, “I don’t ever forget to eat either!”
Ciara and Wilson’s love story continues to thrive, with their family growing and their connection deepening over the years
Continuing her story, Ciara revealed, “After our first encounter, we both had similar reactions. He told his friend in the elevator, ‘She’s the one,’ while I called my best friend, Yolonda Frederick.
She’s been my matron of honor, my makeup artist for nearly 24 years, and my best friend. I told her, ‘Yoli, I don’t want to jinx anything, but I think…’ and she immediately said, ‘He’s the one,’ and I responded, ‘Yessss.'”
The couple first crossed paths in 2015 and married the following year. Their family grew with the birth of their daughter, Sienna Princess Wilson, in 2017, followed by their son, Win Harrison Wilson, in 2020.
In December 2023, they welcomed their third child, daughter Amora Princess Wilson. Before meeting Wilson, Ciara was already a mother, having welcomed her son Future Zahir with her ex, Future, in 2014—a topic she and Clarkson discussed during the show.
