Their love inspires fans of all ages, from football fanatics to those who eagerly follow Ciara’s music career.

When did Ciara and Russell Wilson get engaged?

Ciara and Russell Wilson first met in early 2015, according to Brides. The singer and the football star crossed paths in the wake of Ciara’s failed engagement to the rapper Future. Wilson bonded quickly with Ciara and Future’s young son, effortlessly stepping into the role of a loving stepfather. Things moved quickly between Ciara and Wilson. And by April 2015, they had made their relationship public, appearing at a White House State Dinner that same month.

One year later, Wilson and Ciara got engaged. He popped the question to his love while the two were on vacation in Seychelles. As the athlete wrote on Instagram, according to Brides, “She said Yes!!! Since Day 1 I knew you were the one. No Greater feeling.” Wilson showed his appreciation for the positive influence Ciara had in his life by gifting her with a truly one-of-a-kind ring.

The engagement ring Russell Wilson gave Ciara features a large, brilliant-cut diamond in the center and trapezoid and pear-shaped diamonds on either side of the sparkling center stone. As reported by Brides, Ciara’s ring from Wilson is estimated to be worth between $2 million and $2.5 million. The style seems to be one that Ciara likes, since she wore a similar ring during her engagement to Future. But as Brides notes, that ring was worth an estimated $500,000, compared to the more expensive one from Wilson.

Wilson and Ciara had a short engagement, tying the knot in a top-secret wedding ceremony in England. While the ceremony itself was kept secret from media outlets and fans, the two took to social media afterward to share photos of their beautiful wedding. They didn’t wait long to expand their family. In October 2016, the newlyweds announced that they were expecting their first baby together. Their daughter was born in April 2017. In the summer of 2020, they expanded their family yet again, welcoming a son in July 2020.
