Newlyweds Russell Wilson and Ciara have seemingly been in the honeymoon stage throughout their entire relationship, and now that these two lovebirds have finally tied the knot, there’s no denying that this pair is thinking about their future as a family.
However, right now isn’t the best time to start taking those steps. “They haven’t talked more about wanting kids but they both want to start a new family together,” a source tells E! News. “They are focused on their respective careers right now.”
Regardless of not rushing into starting their own family, Wilson has taken on the role of “proud” stepdad to Ciara’s son, Future Jr., and it’s something he adorably gushes about.
“You think about how important life is…me and Ciara just got married,” Wilson told Maria Shriver on her “Architects for Change” web series (which you can watch here).
“She has a little man, he’s awesome and cute as can be, he’s a special kid. I’m a stepdad now. When I see this kid, he’s 2 years old, he’s so sweet and loving, always has a smile on his face. Being a stepfather, it’s about loving the child because the child can do something amazing in his life.”
Wilson has always had a soft spot when it comes to inspiring the next generation, and has made it a priority to help inspire youth with his Why Not You foundation.
It is the Foundation’s mission “to empower change in the world one individual at a time. Often “we think about the big picture, if we can change one kid at a time, heart at a time, soul at time, it’s the snowball effect.”
While this is an exciting time for the couple, who wed in front of family and friends in England, the duo didn’t have much time off. They’re each already back to work!
Along with spearheading his foundation, the Seahawks quarterback is preparing for football season back in Seattle. “The new season of Russell is underway and that is his top priority. The season continues through February,” the insider tells us, adding that meanwhile, Ciara has been working on new music.
“Ciara is back in the studio working on new music. She has already written and recorded a couple of new songs. It is early in the process but 2017 is gearing up to be very exciting.”
But no matter what these stars are working on respectively, the source tells us, “They are both really inspired by love in every positive way. It is so great to see. They are fountains of love.”
