Ciara and Russell Wilson are settling into life in New York and making it look easy.
The couple has moved often over the years, from Seattle to Denver, and now to the East Coast. With four kids in tow, they’re embracing this latest chapter with the same energy they bring to everything else. Russell, now the quarterback for the New York Giants, told the New York Post, “It’s been a lot of fun just feeling like we’re part of New York now.”
They’ve already made their rounds, hitting all the major New York spots – Knicks games at Madison Square Garden, a Yankees-Mets matchup, and courtside seats for the New York Liberty’s season opener. They were also seen dining at Café Zaffri in Union Square and wearing Yankees hats during their family’s Easter celebration at home.

In a birthday post for Future, Ciara shared clips from the day, writing, “I watch you in amazement as you navigate your way through this world as a precious young boy!”
The move to New York isn't just about work, it’s intentional. Ciara and Russell have built a real estate portfolio that spans Seattle, California, Denver, Pittsburgh, and now New York, allowing them to stay grounded no matter where their careers take them. “Every morning we wake up together, it's a blessing,” Russell told GQ in 2021.

Professionally, things are just as full. Ciara recently wrapped a tour with Missy Elliott and made a surprise appearance at Coachella during Megan Thee Stallion’s set to perform “Roc Steady,” which samples her 2004 breakout hit “Goodies.” It was a full-circle moment celebrating the song’s 21st anniversary.

This spring, they helped raise $3 million for the V Foundation, a nonprofit focused on cancer research. “What a blessing to be a part of this magical night,” Ciara shared. “Moments like this mean so much to Russell and me.”
