Inside Russell Wilson and Ciara’s first day as New York’s newest celebrity couple

Inside Russell Wilson and Ciara’s first day as New York’s newest celebrity couple

Russell Wilson is “honored” to be a member of Big Blue.

To wrap up a whirlwind day with wife Ciara in the tri-state area, where he officially began his next NFL chapter with the Giants, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback posted an endearing message to fans on X.

“Honored to be a Giant,” Wilson wrote Wednesday, along with the Giants’ X handle and a blue heart emoji.

Ciara, who has been married to Wilson since 2016, joined the quarterback at the Giants’ facility earlier in the day and spent time with head coach Brian Daboll.

Wilson, 36, then put pen to paper on his one-year deal with the team worth $10.5 million guaranteed — a contract that could reach $21 million with incentives — before taking a few promotional sH๏τs with the 39-year-old singer.

“Beyond excited!” Ciara gushed Wednesday on Instagram. “Go Big Blue!”

The couple then ventured to Madison Square Garden, where they took in the Knicks’ 127-113 loss to the Clippers courtside.

Ciara and Wilson embraced Spike Lee and Ed Sheeran on the floor while the crowd offered the 10-time Pro Bowler a warm welcome.

Wilson arrived in New York after spending the last season in Pittsburgh, where he played in 11 regular-season games and reached the playoffs. He threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions.

The former Seahawks and Broncos quarterback played alongside Justin Fields, who also departed Pittsburgh in free agency for the Giants’ crosstown rival Jets on a two-year, $40 million deal.

The Steelers have been targeting ex-Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has not yet decided on his next steps.

Even though the Giants were in on the Rodgers sweepstakes, Wilson is eager to show what he can deliver as both a quarterback and a leader.

“Aaron Rodgers is a tremendous football player. He’s done some amazing things in this league,” Wilson said Wednesday during his media availability. “I’ve been fortunate to be able to do some great things, too. Really, what I’m focused on is right now and what we can do here.”

Wilson “expects” to be the starting quarterback while Jameis Winston, formerly of the Browns, is anticipated to be the backup on a two-year, $8 million deal.

There’s also the widespread belief the Giants will take a quarterback in next month’s NFL draft, where they hold the No. 3 overall pick.

“If we draft a quarterback we’ll make sure that he does everything he can to be ready to go and be prepared for this mentality,” Wilson said. “But for me, it’s about the process of winning. I’m focused on winning and what I can do as the quarterback of the New York Giants to help us win.”

Winning is something the Giants hardly experienced in 2024, when they finished at 3-14 in the franchise’s milestone 100th season and released starting quarterback Daniel Jones along the way.

Wilson, who won a Super Bowl at the Giants’ home MetLife Stadium in February 2014 with the Seahawks, is ready to reach the mountaintop again after slumping seasons.

“You never feel like you do enough unless you win it all,” Wilson said. “That’s how I’ve always felt. I’ve had some amazing years and different things along the way, but anytime you don’t win it all as a compeтιтor, as a warrior, you want to be able to say you won it all and did it that year.”

Ciara will be cheering Wilson and the Giants on every step of the way.

She shares daughters Sienna Princess, 7, and Amora Princess, 1, with Wilson, along with son Win Harrison, 4.

Ciara is also a mom to son Future Zahir, 10, from a previous relationship.
