There’s a celebration going down in the Ciara and Russell Wilson household.
Future, the eldest of the singer’s four children, turned 10 on Sunday, May 19, and his proud parents couldn’t resist heaping their love and admiration on him in a couple of heartfelt Instagram posts.
His proud mother, who shares Future Jr. with her ex-partner, rapper Future (born Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn), posted a compilation of videos and photos of her boy that shows him soon after his birth up until recent days.
‘He’s anointed, loved, blessed, smart, funny, fun, gifted, special..and today He’s 10 years old!’ Ciara (born Ciara Princess Harris), 38, gushed in the caption. ‘I’m so grateful! Happy Birthday Future! We love you so much and we’re so proud of you! The sky is the limit sunshine!’
Set to the DJ Khaled song GOD DID (feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, Fridayy), her birthday tribute showcases Future and his love for sports such as football, baseball and basketball, just like his stepfather, who’s a Super Bowl champion quarterback who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

‘The BEST!!! We love you so much! God’s love, anointing, and blessing is all over you! God First Always! Mom & Dad are so proud of you!’ Wilson, 35, shared.
The 12-year NFL veteran, who heading into his first year with Pittsburgh, would also share more sweet sentiments on his own Instagram page.
‘Happy Bday Future! The big 10!! We are so proud of you & so grateful for you. You are our biggest blessing,’ the former Seattle Seahawks star wrote to his stepson.
‘An amazing son! The best big brother!! An absolute baller! So kind and loving! Keep shining. Keep loving. It is our greatest joy watching you grow into the young man God created you to be! I can’t believe it’s been 10 years!
The Cincinnati, Ohio native concluded, ‘God is good! We love you forever!!! @Ciara’

There’s also some cute moments they have shared together of his 10 years, such as playing video games side-by-side, playing on the beach, and posing in their matching black suits before a public event.
Ciara and eldest son’s dad Future first got together in 2012 and eventually got engaged, but ultimately they decided to go their own ways after about two years of dating.
The singer, actress and entrepreneur would go on to meet her future husband on March 2015, and within a month they came clean to announce they were in fact an item.
Wilson proposed to Ciara on March 11, 2016, and the couple secretly tied-the-knot at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England on July 6, of that same year.

The following April the couple welcomed their first child together, Sienna, who would be followed by Win in 2020 and Amora this past December.
During her career, Ciara has released seven studio albums between 2004 and 2019, appeared in four feature films, which includes the musical period drama film The Color Purple (2023), and made a slew of appearances as herself on television.
Wilson played 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, guiding the team to two Super Bowls, winning the first one. He moved on to the Denver Broncos for two disappointing seasons before being benched in a financial move the last few games.
He has since signed a one-year contract with the Steelers and is set to take part in the team’s mandatory veteran minicamp on June 11-13.
