The Wilson household celebrated the birthdays of two of their close ones. Vanessa Bryant, the wife of the late Kobe Bryant, and Wilson’s wife and famous singer Ciara’s mother, Ms. Jackie Harris. Taking to Instagram stories, Ciara shared a nostalgic journey through old photos with her mom. Images flashed from her childhood days being cradled in Jackie’s arms to warm teenage embraces.

The captions read: “Happy birthday Mama! I love you so much.” Her husband Russell Wilson joined in her happiness by resharing the story. Ciara always talks about the warm memories of her mother since her childhood days and is vocal about it.

For Ciara, born into an army family and constantly relocating, her mother provided steadying guidance. “My mom is one of those women… she don’t take no mess. She is very vocal about what she wants and what she doesn’t want,” Ciara expressed in an interview, revealing Jackie’s influential assertiveness.

As an adult, Ciara’s admiration transformed into deep respect. During personal turmoil when her parents separated, she confided fears about potentially “failing” her mother’s example of an unbreakable family unit on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk series.

Yet through life’s changes, Ciara honored her roots permanently – naming her 2019 album “Jackie” as a birthday tribute to the woman who shaped her. “Being young, and having your mom come to school with the laced-up hats and the crazy outfits are definitely moments to remember,” she reminisced.

While the singer celebrated her pillar in life, Russel Wilson subsequently also extended warm wishes to her friend, Vanessa Bryant, who surprisingly shares a birthday with Ciara’s mother. Ciara soon joined in wishing her friend on her special day.

Wilson’s understated caption – “Happy birthday sis! We love you” – belied the depth of feeling, a subtle yet impactful acknowledgment of their intertwined journeys as prominent athletic families. Ciara echoed the celebratory spirit, sharing her own hilarious TikTok clip with an uplifting message to Vanessa: “I love you so much, birthday queen! Never a dull moment.”
