Ciara found true love in Russell Wilson after a challenging breakup with rapper Future. Russell not only entered her life and uplifted her, but he also stepped into a fatherly role for her son, Future Jr. Russell is deeply involved with their children and appears to be an exceptional father, despite facing some criticism from those who feel he might be trying to replace Future Jr.’s biological dad.
In 2020, the Wilsons faced some backlash from fans who were unhappy with Russell referring to himself as “daddy” in a birthday post for their eldest son. In a video he shared of himself and Future swimming, Russell thanked the young boy for being his best friend and daily inspiration, expressing gratitude for who he is and the opportunity to guide him. He concluded the heartfelt post with “Happy 6th Birthday Future! Daddy loves you! 
.” While many supportive comments flooded in, praising Russell for being a positive father figure to the boy, some anticipated that Future Sr. might not take it well, humorously saying, “Future punching the air 
.”
The Wilsons, whatever they are doing, are evidently doing it wonderfully, as young Future has already displayed numerous talents. His mother, Ciara, known for her excellence in dance, has clearly passed down her passion to her son. She frequently shares videos of their delightful dance sessions, one of which went viral in December 2021. In the clip, you can see her son sitting on the floor, rapping to the camera while mommy danced. He later joined her in a second clip, both dancing in green pajamas and making playful faces.
Young Future also inherited his parents’ musical talents. Ciara posted a video praising the young man for his impressive piano skills, highlighting how he’s a natural at it. She shared her pride in her caption, noting, “Proud mommy. God’s Child.” In this particular video, he played a riff of Cory Asbury’s “Reckless Love,” and even Russell expressed his pride in a comment, saying, “Our baby boy is growing! #GodisGood!”
While young Future got the entertainment genes from his biological parents, bonus dad Russell is also passing on his knowledge of sports. Russell joined the Seattle Seahawks for training back in 2015 and has been a constant presence on the field, supporting Russell in his athletic pursuits. In 2019, ESPN shared a video of Future running drills with the team and playing catch with a football. Videos from a Russell and Ciara fanpage also showed Future tossing the ball with Russell before a game. Fans lauded the coaching and bonding time, noting, “Future catches great and can throw a spiral already!!! Great coaching, dad!!!
