Ciara’s love for her children is quite heartwarming. Her eldest child, Future Zahir, born May 19, 2014, turned 11 years old on Sunday, and both Ciara and Russell Wilson are pampering him with love. As the Wilsons are in a celebratory spirit, Future’s birthday was quite eventful. His birthday fell on Game 3 of the Subway Series, with the Yankees hosting the Mets in the Bronx. But the true headline wasn’t on the scoreboard. It was in Giants QB’s wife Ciara’s X post, as she captioned the 4-words message that echoed far beyond the screen.
Resharing Russell Wilson’s video message, she simply penned a beautiful caption, “What a sweet day!” Further expressing her gratitude, she wrote, “So grateful 🫶🏽🎂.” It was in response to Russell Wilson’s post, in which he wrote a heartfelt note. “Happy birthday, Future!!! ❤️ We’re so proud of the young man you are! 11 years old and you somehow teach me something new every day!”
Continuing further, he added, “God has abundance in store for you! Not only are you a great son, a best friend, but you are the best big brother to Sienna, Win, and Amora! You are the Light of the World! Daddy and Mommy love you so much!!! @ciara.” The video included the montage of the father-son duo, spending fun time together.

Russell may not be the biological father, but Future is, in all right, his eldest son. Since marrying Ciara in 2016, he’s been all-in on raising Future with complete devotion.
Besides Future, they are also raising together three kids, Sienna Princess (7), who is already performing at school concerts and daddy-daughter dances, Win Harrison (4) who mirrors Russell’s energy, and Amora Princess (1), the family’s baby joy. Russell calls them blessings, while Ciara calls motherhood “chaotic but beautiful.” Together, they call it home.
And Ciara deserves a special shout out for this. Behind the scenes, she’s navigating postpartum recovery after Amora’s birth while breastfeeding. All of this she is balancing with her booming music career, as she is touring with Missy Elliott, while raising four children under 11.
But her son from her previous relationship, Future Zahir’s birthday wish, unfolded like a dream inside Yankee Stadium, allowing the family to cherish quality time together.

Future Zahir celebrated his 11th birthday at Yankee Stadium, donning the pinstripes as he met his baseball hero, Aaron Judge. Before the first pitch of Sunday’s Subway Series Game 3, Aaron Judge stepped up with a pair of signed batting gloves and a bat, as he gifted them to a young fan.

Ciara had also posted a separate Instagram tribute, writing, “Happy Birthday to the Big Boy Future! The Big 11! @thejudge44, you are Legendary!” Through the message, she also gave a nod to Yankees star Aaron Judge. And the Wilsons got a family photo together, in matching Yankees jerseys and caps.
Wilson told SNY, “It’s my son’s 11th birthday tomorrow, and all he wanted to do was go to a Yankees game.” Future’s Little League team had also just won a championship in San Diego, playing under the name “Yankees.” The moment he stepped into the real Bronx stadium, it wasn’t just a birthday treat. It was the moment his dream manifested into reality!
