July 2015: Celibacy
During an interview with The Rock Church in San Diego, Wilson announced that he and Ciara made the decision to remain celibate until marriage.
“She was on tour, she was traveling, and I was looking at her in the mirror … and she was sitting there and God spoke to me and said, ‘I need you to lead her,’ and so I told her right then and there, what would you do if we took all that extra stuff [𝓈ℯ𝓍] off the table, and did it Jesus’ way?”
According to Wilson, Ciara agreed with the idea, telling him they could “love each other without that.”
March 2016: Proposal
