Ciara announced her third pregnancy in January
The baby gender reveal by Ciara and Wilson comes after she took to Instagram in January to announce her pregnancy.
Ciara announced to her fans that she was expecting her third baby and second child with hubby Russell Wilson by showing off her baby bump in an Instagram photo captioned “Number 3.”
The photo showed her striking a pose in a bikini on a beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Wilson shared a different version of the photo that showed him in the foreground and Ciara in the background.
Ciara did not share her due date, but Monsters and Critics noted at the time that judging from the size of the bump, she was well along.
Ciara shares a son with rapper Future
This is Ciara’s third pregnancy and her second with Wilson. She shares her first child, five-year-old Future Zahir Wilburn (Future Jr.), with her ex-fiance rapper Future.
Future Zahir Wilburn, rapper Future’s fourth child, was born in May 2014.
Ciara and Future were previously engaged, but they split in 2014 after she reportedly caught Future cheating on her.
Ciara and Wilson started dating in 2015. They got engaged in March 2016 and married in July 2016. They had their first child, Sienna Princess Wilson, in April 2017.
Wilson and Ciara have been showing their generosity during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The couple recently donated 1 million meals through the food bank, Seattle Food Lifeline.
