Wilson shared a heartfelt message on social media to honor his wife. So, what did he say?

On an Instagram story, Wilson posted a video of Ciara on the purple carpet at the American Music Awards. He added a short but sweet caption: “No one better. Love you, Mrs. Wilson @ciara”
Wilson and Ciara started dating in 2015 and have been married since July 2016. They have four kids together, including one from Ciara’s previous relationship, which shows their strong family bond.
Ciara was one of the presenters for the night and wore the Bronx and Banco Selena Diamond corset dress in this photo while wearing the Bronx and Banco Zoia gown in electric blue later in the night. She would also have on Dolce & Gabbana silver sandals and XIV Karats jewels throughout the show.

Wilson is one of several quarterbacks who changed teams this offseason. He played the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he went 6-5 in 11 games. He completed 214 of 336 passes (63.7%) for 2,482 yards, with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. He helped lead the Steelers to the playoffs.
In the offseason, he signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Giants.
Wilson is expected to start this season. He’s joined in the quarterback room by Jameis Winston and first-round pick Jaxson Dart. This will be his fourth team in five years. At 36, Wilson hopes to prove he still has what it takes to be a Hall of Famer.
Wilson has showcased the ability to be a solid performer under center, but he needs to make sure this stint in New York is not a wasted opportunity. Coach Brian Daboll has publicly announced that Wilson will be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 1 when the team is on the road against the Washington Commanders.
The Giants must ensure Wilson looks good, as the front office is on the hot seat. Wilson’s 2025 season could be the difference between a long-term deal next season with a team or the end of the line as a starting quarterback in the National Football League.
