Ciara turned her album release into a family affair.
The singer, 38, stepped out on August 22 with husband Russell Wilson and three of their children — Future Zahir Wilburn, 11, and Sienna Wilson,8, and Win Wilson,5 — for a signing at Legacy Dumbo in Brooklyn before heading to her official CiCi release party at Red Lobster in Times Square.
The “Level Up” hitmaker rocked a bold red look featuring the album’s artwork, while her kids matched in custom “CiCi” jerseys. Wilson kept things casual but was all smiles as he supported his wife throughout the celebration.
Ciara shares son Future with her ex, rapper Future. She and Wilson tied the knot in 2016 and later welcomed daughter Sienna in 2017, son Win in 2020, and daughter Amora in 2023.
The Grammy winner has been open about how she balances her role as a mom of four while maintaining her career.
“Running my own label is not easy, and then you add on top of that being a mom, oh my god, life comes at you fast, but I would not have it any other way,” she told USA Today.
She credits schedules for helping keep her household in check. “I am a big believer in having some kind of schedule, especially for kids. Having them on sleep schedules and having order for them because they function so much better when they have an idea of what’s happening and what to expect, for the most part,” she said.
“It’s the same thing for us as parents,” she continued. “I need schedules. It helps me be efficient in my workspace and also as a mom because I also know what to expect. And it allows me to understand how my world looks as it pertains to them, making sure I am not missing the key things that are important to and for them.”
Ciara’s new album, CiCi, is her eighth studio release and features 14 tracks and collaborations with Teyana Taylor, Normani, Chris Brown, Lil Baby and more.
