Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Ciara Princess Wilson revealed on Sunday, September 6, 2026, that she and her husband, former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, are expecting their fourth child together, the fifth of Ciara’s career as a mother.
The 40-year-old artist broke the news on Instagram in a joint post with Wilson, sharing a video and a series of photographs that showed off her growing baby bump. The couple captioned the announcement, “One more person to love,” accompanied by an emoji of a raised hand showing five fingers, a nod to the family’s soon-to-be fifth child.
The reveal leaned on a sentimental visual device: a clothesline strung with white T-shirts, each printed with the name of one of the couple’s children, Future, Sienna, Win and Amora, followed by a blank baby onesie representing the family’s newest, and as yet unnamed, addition.
In one clip, Wilson can be seen holding up five fingers to the camera, while he reportedly added “Baby Cinco!” in the comments beneath the post.
The pregnancy caps what insiders are calling a years-long campaign by Wilson to convince his wife to expand their family further. Ciara has said that her husband first broached the subject of a fifth child jokingly dubbed “Cinco” shortly after she gave birth to their daughter Amora in December 2023, prompting her at the time to tell him to slow down.
As recently as this past July, Wilson was still lobbying publicly, telling reporters at a media event that he was “trying to convince Ciara to have a fifth” and that “Cinco” needed “to be on the way soon.”
The announcement also arrives during a milestone year for the couple, who celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary on July 6, 2026.
Ciara’s path to motherhood has spanned several high-profile relationships. She was first linked to rapper Bow Wow, dating him from 2004 before the pair became engaged and later split in 2006.
In 2013, she got engaged to rapper Future, with whom she welcomed her eldest child, a son, in May 2014, though she called off that engagement just months later, in August 2014.
Her relationship with Russell Wilson began in early 2015. The couple became engaged in March 2016 and married that July at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire East, England. Since then, they have built a blended family of their own, welcoming three children in 2017, 2020, and 2023, respectively.
With Sunday’s announcement, Ciara and Wilson now prepare to welcome their fourth child together, rounding out a family of five children in total once the new baby arrives. No due date or the baby’s sex has yet been disclosed.
