Ciara Celebrates ‘Greatest Inspiration’ Russell Wilson’s Return to New York With One-Year Giants Deal

Russell Wilson is heading back to the Empire State.

A year after he signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback signed another one-year deal this week — $10.5 million with the New York Giants to become their starter, the NFL announced on Tuesday (March 25).

To celebrate, the football star’s wife Ciara was supportive as always. The “1, 2 Step” singer took to her Instagram Stories to re-share Wilson’s photo of MetLife Stadium, where the Giants play. “Been here before… can’t wait to do it again,” he wrote, in reference to his previous Super Bowl XLVIII win at the same venue in 2014, when he played with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ciara then posted another Stories photo, in which Wilson is seen in his New York Yankees gear (the athlete briefly had the opportunity to play with the baseball team in 2018). “New York State of Mind,” Ciara wrote. “My greatest inspiration.”

With the Steelers, 36-year-old Wilson threw for 2,482 yards with 16 touchdown passes, five interceptions and a 96.5 passer rating. The Giants is working on shaping up their team for the upcoming season, as they also signed Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston to a two-year contract, and notched the third pick at the upcoming NFL draft in April.

Ciara and Wilson tied the knot in 2016. The longtime couple has since welcomed three children, seven-year-old Sienna Princess, four-year-old Win Harrison and one-year-old Amora Princess. Ciara also shares 10-year-old son Future Zahir with her ex, rapper Future.
