  • Ciara announced she was pregnant with her and Russell Wilson's third child on Tuesday.
  • She shares her eldest son with her former fiancé, Future.

Ciara announced Tuesday that she and Russell Wilson are expecting their third child in an Instagram post. It will be the "Level Up" singer's fourth child after she welcomed her son Future, in May 2014.

"You look at me like that again, we make another kid…You my heart I'm your rib," the caption read, referencing Ciara's new song with Chris Brown, "How We Roll." Wilson also celebrated the news by sharing the same Instagram video.

Here's a look at Ciara and Wilson's growing family.

Ciara confirmed via Instagram that she welcomed her eldest son, Future Zahir Wilburn, in May 2014 with her then-fiancé, rapper Future. At the time, People reported the former couple got engaged in October 2013 but called off their engagement three months after their son was born. Sources told the outlet that Future's infidelity caused the split.

In November 2022, Ciara reflected on her breakup with Future.

"I told myself I've got to figure out how to navigate in the next chapter of my life," she told Women's Health. "All the things I was aspiring to have at that time, even thinking about love, I was like, 'It's going to happen when it's supposed to."

During a recent interview with People, Ciara said her son is beginning to "tap into his inner personality."

"He's in that phase where they start to be super aware and in tune with [themselves]," she said.

By April 2015, Ciara had moved on from Future and began dating Wilson, who at the time was playing for the Seattle Seahawks.

Neither Russell nor Ciara confirmed their relationship before the event, but rumors at the time speculated whether the pair were more than friends, according to The Washington Post. That July, the couple told Access they practiced celibacy while dating.

The couple tied the knot in an opulent, star-studded wedding in July 2016.

In June 2020, Wilson told Entertainment Tonight that being a stepfather taught him "what love is like."

"Being a stepdad ... has taught me, really, what love is like, what life is really like, [and] how God intends us to love," he told the outlet. "One of the greatest gifts in the world is children."

Ciara told GQ in February 2021 that her family is everything she imagined.

"He's obviously really beautiful to me in every way, but the father in him is by far one of the things that makes him the most sexy to me. Hot. To me it's hot," she said.
