Aside from her killer looks and impeccable dance moves, Ciara has garnered a reputation for being a manifestation machine. Folks on social media are constantly asking for “the prayer” that led her to meet her successful, nurturing and God-fearing husband Russell Wilson. But did you know that Mr. Wilson also did some praying himself? Pull up a chair…it’s storytime!
During an Instagram Live session with their friend La La Anthony, Ciara was asked once again about her conversations with the man upstairs that lead her and Wilson to meet. “That’s the thing, I prayed many nights,” Ciara responded. “The thing is like, people always say ‘the prayer.’ It’s not one prayer, it’s multiple prayers. Especially when you’re going through a big transition in life. I was single mom-ing it and that is something I never envisioned, never imagined. And at that point, you’re at a time in your life where you have to think about exactly where you are and where you want to go.”
Wilson then jumped in and added, “the funny thing is everybody asks what the prayer was for Ciara, but nobody really asks me what the prayer was for me,” he said.
He says he recalls being a single man and trying to figure out what he wanted in a partner. Ultimately, he decided, “I didn’t want perfection, I want the perfect thing for me.”
For Wilson, it all came down to five distinct qualities that he wanted (and ultimately found) in a wife: a woman of faith, a woman who is faithful, an independent woman, a woman to love him the way his mother loved his dad, and woman who could “tilt the room.”
When Anthony confirms that he “got all five” in Ciara, he corrects her by saying, “I got five for five, plus some more.”
Are these two couples goals or what? Watch the sweet video below:
Ciara Finally Reveals Her Relationship Prayer And Let’s Just Say God DID That
He may not come when you want him, but He’s always on time…just ask Ciara.
Ladies all around the globe have been requesting the prayer that the “1,2 Step” singer used to snag her a successful, God-fearing man in Russell Wilson. And because our girl is far from stingy, she’s sharing with the rest of us!
During a live-streamed interview with Angie Martinez to promote her seventh studio album Beauty Marks, Ciara divulges the exact type of man she asked God for after her breakup with ex-fiance Future. “I thought I was going to be single for four years, I had that in my mind,” said the 33-year-old. “And I don’t know why that number was four years but I was really ready to take my time and be patient and let love really fall in place the right way. I desired something new, I desired something different, I desired to be loved [to] the highest capacity and to be loved the way that I deserved.”
“I prayed for a God-fearing man. I prayed for discernment. I prayed for wisdom, to really learn from the wisdom that I’m gaining from the experience that I’m going through,” she told Martinez. “I prayed for a man that loved kids, because, obviously me having my son, if you’re gonna love me you’ve gotta love him. I prayed for a man that was worldly as well. Because I love to explore. So someone that was gonna edify my world, that was important to me. I was ready to level up!”
Ciara also described meeting Wilson in 2015 at an NBC wrap party. “I remember looking at my husband the first night we met — it’s like a movie — when we talk about our story back to each other, we both have the same feelings. … It was a calm feeling all over my body,” the singer explains. “I also remember looking at him and I thought he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. And I couldn’t remember half of what he was saying … but when you know, you know. We say that and we also talk about being equally yoked. It’s just light. When it’s light, it’s right. It’s easy. Even in the toughest times.”
Yes sis! Thank you, Ciara, for the inspiration.
