Russell Wilson Opens Up About Being a Stepdad to Ciara's Son, Says God Told Him It Was His 'Responsibility'

The Denver Broncos quarterback talked about why he knew instantly that it was his job to take care of Ciara's son, Future.

Wilson says that upon meeting Ciara, 38, falling in love and then being introduced to her young son -- who was less than a year old at the time -- he instantaneously knew that he would have to step up. Getty ImagesDespite him initially viewing it as a potentially daunting task, Wilson says in realizing the responsibility he was taking on, he was only more assured that Ciara was the one for him. The "Level Up" singer and rapper dated from 2012 to 2014, the year they welcomed their son, and it was because of her own responsibility as a mother that Ciara said she had to take a good hard look at the relationship -- which had been plagued by rumors of infidelity on Future's part.
