In an interview with Essence Magazine, the Super Bowl winner revealed details about his marriage with Ciara.

When I asked her [Ciara] to marry me, once she said yes, I said, ‘Before we go do this, can we pray? I want to make sure we always put God at the center of it all… [love is never perfect.] But we continue to try to put God first and pray over each other.
Russell Wilson said

Ciara in an interview with GQ revealed that she could not be happier marrying Wilson.

I feel like if I could look back in a crystal ball when I was a little girl and I looked at the idea of my family and what it would be for me, it's exactly this.
Ciara said

Before celebrating their marriage anniversary, Ciara went to Disneyland in Paris with her kids. Afterward, she went off on her tour in Oakland and LA.
