New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson is prepping for his first season in the Big Apple with the New York Giants. The Super Bowl winner still has a nice deep ball. Off the field, Wilson is a model of consistency as it pertains to being a husband, father and stepfather to wife Ciara’s son lil Future whom she conceived in a relationship with Atlanta-based rapper Future.
Russell Wilson Unfazed By Future
Ever since Wilson and the “Goodies” songstress began dating in March 2015 when lil Future was just 10-months-old, the former Seattle Seahawks legend has played the role of stepdad. In fact, he’s been so good and locked in, that it at times rubbed the aforementioned Future the wrong way. Despite the “Mask Off” rapper’s comments and indirect shots fired at Wilson, the gridiron legend has never seemed bothered.
Ciara Praises Russell Wilson’s Efforts As Father
During a recent appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” the “How We Roll” singer praised her husband’s love and efforts while taking a subtle jab at her ex-Future.
“There’s a difference between boys and men. To me, men love a certain way….I feel blessed when I look at my husband, that standard is top tier.”
Ciara’s comments seemed to surprise the show host(s) Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious, not so much her praise for Wilson, but more so the shot at her ex.
