Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara Wilson, have been married since 2016 and have four children together. The couple is among the most loved in the football world, owing to their various stories and heartwarming family pictures.
During an interview on the show “Not Just Football,” Russell recently shared a hilarious incident that took place shortly after he secured his Super Bowl title in 2015, when he was also dating his now-wife, Ciara.
Russell Wilson Recounts Story of Mistaken Identity
During their day out at Disneyland, Russell and his then-girlfriend were out enjoying their date as a power couple when a group of fans noticed that it was none other than the global pop star Ciara.
The now-Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback narrated that it wasn’t too late before the fans went gaga over the sight of his girlfriend and started chanting her name; while one would think Wilson was also getting the “celebrity” treatment on their date, turns out he was mistaken to be a bodyguard instead.
Russell hilariously recalled hearing a girl say, “Her bodyguard is really hot,” which left Ciara in splits, who further teased him by thanking the Super Bowl champ for protecting her.
Later, he expressed gratitude for his wife’s unconditional support and said that she takes care of everything you can imagine. He also shared how proud he is of his wife’s hard work and popularity as an artist, as Ciara is currently out on her “Out of This World” tour.
Details From Wilson and Ciara’s Dreamy Wedding
The couple first met at a college basketball game, and it wasn’t too long before they went out on a date … and another, and another. The Wilsons met in 2015, got engaged in 2016, and got hitched in the summer of the same year.
The Wilsons had the wedding of their dreams as the couple tied the knot almost a decade ago, setting couple goals for fans all around the country.
The couple got married in England at Peckforton Castle, surrounded by their friends and family, including big names like La La Anthony, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Rowland.
The wedding of the year included many thoughtful details, like Ciara’s breathtaking wedding dress, which was custom-made by one of her best friends, and a couture Roberto Cavalli masterpiece. Raving about her exquisite gown, Ciara shared that it was her dream dress and her dream everything.
Later, talking about how special the whole event was, Ciara said that it really did feel like a fairy tale, and it was everything she could hope for.
