The glamor-filled night out unfolded at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, on July 16, 2025, wherein comedian Shane Gillis took charge as the host. The event sought to honor excellence in sports performance, perseverance, and humanitarian efforts.
The way Ciara and Russell walked in hand-in-hand had us swooning. And, at one point, Wilson kissed Ciara on the cheek, as the photographers managed to capture it. Even the SB champ shared a story, proudly showing off his wife. He wrote, “She’s with me @ciara.”
Oozing glamor, the couple’s red carpet chemistry was a highlight during the ESPYs night out. Wilson took the stage to present the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the ESPYS, honoring Katie Schumacher-Cawley, head coach of Penn State women’s volleyball. Schumacher-Cawley is six months in remission from breast cancer, as Wilson honored her strength.
On the other hand, Ciara presented the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award to the tennis star Sloane Stephens. The honor acknowledges her transformative work through the Sloane Stephens Foundation for underprivileged youth in Compton and South Florida. Stephens also remarked, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” The event truly resonated with the ideals of Ciara and Russell, who contribute significantly to society through their ‘Why Not You Foundation’. Russell was also awarded the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year title in 2020 for his philanthropic leadership.
So, seeing their heartwarming presence at the ESPYs, fans couldn’t keep calm. Especially when Ciara bedazzled them in a glamorous outfit.

The couple shared the ESPYs red carpet without their children, Future Jr. (11), Sienna (8), Win (4), and Amora (19 months), enjoying what Ciara called a well-deserved “date night.” But, for the Wilsons, family holds prime importance. Just a few days ago, the entire Wilson household posed in matching black Nike 3BRAND outfits in support of Russell’s clothing line.
Ciara dominated the red carpet in a custom Bronx & Banco creation. She donned a semi-sheer, champagne-colored gown that was covered in glittering silver sequins and rhinestone embellishments. Talking about the details of the dress, it featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, along with long sleeves. The dress gave the appearance of a body-hugging silhouette, reaching to the floor with a back slit. It also had a subtle high-shine sequin illusion throughout, which made the ensemble a head-turner.
