Ciara and husband Russell Wilson’s starting lineup is getting a little bigger.
“One more person to love,” Ciara, 40, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 6, announcing her pregnancy alongside several vintage-looking videos and photos of the singer and her former NFL quarterback husband, 37, revealing the pregnancy news.
In the video and pics, Ciara could be seen rocking a simple pair of blue jeans and a white top that accentuated her growing baby bump. The couple posed alongside a clothesline featuring t-shirts boasting the names of the blended family’s children alongside a nameless white onesie representing the baby-to-be.
Ciara and Wilson, who have been married since 2016, are already the parents of daughters Sienna, 9, and Amora, 2, as well as son Win,5. (Ciara also shares eldest son Future, 11, with rapper ex Future.)
Shortly after Ciara gave birth to Amora in December 2023, Wilson already had future babies on the brain.
“My husband’s been the one doing that. He’s the one to pick this thing off,” the singer exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2026, revealing whether a fifth baby was in the cards for the couple. “I will tell you, when I was giving birth to Amora, … he was like shortly after, ‘So cinco?’ and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute now, like slow it down, sir. We just had a baby here. Let’s be in this moment here, sir.’”
According to Ciara, she quickly told Wilson (“in a laughing way”) that his comment was “disrespectful” to hear in the delivery room.
“I love being a mom. It’s my favorite job of all, and I couldn’t stand here and tell you that I don’t see that happening one day in our lives to have cinco because why not?” she added to Us. “I think the greatest discovery for me is learning that I can figure it out.”
Ciara continued at the time, “From the first day that I decided to be a mom, I was definitely really like, ‘OK, what’s this world going to be like?’ A little uncertain, but I also had great faith and confidence in myself that it was going to be a beautiful chapter. I’m so glad that, over the years, in the midst of all my ambition and drive and determination and goals, that I feel I’ve been committing to living my life because we can’t get it back. I don’t want to look back and say, ‘Man, I wish I would have.’”
Ciara further gushed that motherhood “fills [her] cup up so much.”
“It’s a part of me being me. So I say, why not?” she teased of potentially having another baby. “Well, when the time is right, how about that?”
Ciara and Wilson celebrated their 10th anniversary earlier that year amid his NFL retirement. After 14 seasons playing pro football, Wilson confirmed in June 2026 that he was hanging up his cleats and inking a deal with CBS Sports to serve as an analyst.
“As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,” he said in a social media video. “I thank you, football. I am forever grateful.”
Ciara responded to Wilson’s announcement via Instagram comment, calling her husband “the best in the world.”
