Ciara enchanted the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ by celebrating International Women’s Day with her daughter Sienna. While Ciara embraced magical family moments, husband Russell Wilson navigated uncertainty over his NFL future. Life with four kids provides “non-stop entertainment” for the couple, but Wilson now faces a pivotal career crossroads.

Amidst this disquiet and fight for the NFL future, Wilson’s Grammy winner wife posted an Instagram carousel radiating positivity and a crucial family bond. She wrote: “I got my Princess and She got me! #InternationalWomensDay.” The photos portrayed the mother-daughter duo having a lot of fun. “I feel like, if I could look back…at the idea of my family…it’s exactly this,” Ciara told GQ about her blended family’s dynamic.

Her enchanting Disney post with 6-year-old Sienna captured that familial bliss. In the pictures, the two could be seen enjoying themselves as one picture showcased Ciara in classic Mickey Mouse Disney pants with the Minnie Mouse ears’ headband. Meanwhile, the daughter enjoyed her time face painting as she wore an in-fashion ‘Nirvana’ shirt.

However, as the Wilsons seem to be having a strong family time, there is unavoidable uncertainty surrounding the 1x Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson, especially after the Denver Broncos announced his impending release following two turbulent seasons.

The Broncos permitted Wilson to immediately begin speaking and meeting with other teams ahead of his expected release next week. He struggled mightily in Denver, going 11-19 as the starter over two seasons and failing to reach the playoffs. As NFL teams line up to pursue Wilson, questions linger about his leadership abilities and how seamlessly he may transition into a new locker room culture after a disheartening Denver tenure.
