Ciara Celebrates Husband Russell Wilson’s Deal With the Pittsburgh Steelers

Just a week after it was revealed that Russell Wilson had been released from the Denver Broncos, the football star took to Instagram on Monday (March 11) to celebrate his new one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“Year 13. Grateful,” Wilson wrote alongside a stirring video of fervent Steelers fans at Acrisure Stadium. In support, Wilson’s wife and R&B superstar Ciara took to the comments section to share a bunch of black and yellow heart emojis, symbolizing the Steelers’ team colors.

Following news that he had been cut from the Denver Broncos, the NFL quarterback took to Instagram earlier this month 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.” 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.

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.
