Russell and his new bride first stepped out as a couple at the 2015 White House Correspondents' Dinner and remained celibate throughout their relationship. “It’s until the deal is sealed. Absolutely!” Ciara told Access Hollywood of their decision to abstain from sex until marriage. “I think both of us look at each other and we’re like – whew! But we take it one day at a time and keep it going with each other, and I’m really enjoying every day that we’re sharing.”

THE MOST EXPENSIVE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The professional athlete proposed to his ladylove in March 2016. Russell announced the happy news with an Instagram video writing, "She said Yes!!! Since Day 1 knew you were the one. No Greater feeling… #TrueLove."
