He’s a Super Bowl champion and she’s a chart-topping singer and it turns out Russell Wilson and Ciara are going against the grain with their celebrity relationship. While chatting with Miles McPherson at The Rock Church in San Diego on Sunday (July 5) the Seattle Seahawks quarterback sang his “Goodies” gal’s praises and revealed that they’ve committed to abstaining from sex until they’re husband and wife.
Wilson gushed, “I do have a girlfriend, yes, she’s a sweetheart. She’s everything you could ever want, honestly. Funny thing is, I told somebody that that’s the girl I wanted to be with before I ever met her. I told somebody, ‘I’m probably going to end up with Ciara.’ I met this girl named Ciara who was the most beautiful woman in the world, the most kind person, the most engaging person, everything that I could ever want. She was on tour 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 I was like, ‘Really? Right now?’ And he goes, ‘No, I want you and need you to lead her.’ And I asked her, ‘What would you do if we took all that extra stuff off the table? And just did it Jesus’ way?’”
When asked to clarify, Russell grinned, “Yeah, we’re talking about sex… Can we love each other without that? If you can really love someone without that then you can really love somebody… I ain’t gonna lie to y’all now. I need y’all to pray for us. Because I know y’all have seen her on the screen now. If there’s a 10, she’s a 15. Pray for me, keep my mind clear, keep my heart clear. For me, I knew that God had brought me in her life to bless her and for her to bless me. We’re not going to be perfect, by any means. But he’s anointed both of us and he’s calling for us to do something special.”
