Ciara Calls Husband Russell Wilson Her ‘Inspiration’ After His Release From Denver Broncos
Ciara is her husband’s No. 1 fan no matter what
Following the news that Russell Wilson had been cut from the Denver Broncos, the NFL quarterback took to Instagram on Monday (March 4) to thank “Broncos Country” for their support. “Over these last two years, you have welcoming my family and me with open arms and have embraced us as members of the Denver community,” he wrote in his statement, alongside photos of himself playing on the field. “This city will always hold a special place in my heart. Our family grew here, we made countless memories and friendships, and formed relationships that will last a lifetime.”
After thanking his teammates, the team’s crew and more, Wilson concluded his statement by writing, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. God’s got me. I am excited for what’s next.”
Ciara shared a sweet message in the comments of the post, writing, “One of One! My greatest inspiration! I love you.”

The post comes shortly after the Broncos announced the end to its time with Wilson after just two seasons, despite the team signing Wilson to a five-year $242.6 million deal, subsequently taking a $85 million dead money hit over the next two seasons due to the early release.
“We spoke with Russell Wilson today to inform him of his release after the start of the league year,” the statement from the team’s general manager George Paton and head coach Sean Payton reads. “On behalf of the Broncos, we thank Russell for his contributions and dedication to our team while wishing him the best as he continues his career.”
Ciara and Wilson tied the knot in 2016. The couple has since welcomed three children, six-year-old Sienna Princess, three-year-old Win Harrison and three-month-old Amora Princess. Ciara also shares nine-year-old son Future Zahir with her ex, rapper Future.
