Russell Wilson's Wife Ciara Reveals Exciting Personal Update
Russell Wilson's Wife Ciara Reveals Exciting Personal Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Ciara has been out and about the past couple of weeks.
It's been a decade since Ciara performed in London, but her return at Mighty Hoopla Festival on Sunday night was anything but quiet.
The R&B icon and wife of NFL player Russell Wilson headlined the festival this past weekend, alongside Ke$ha, who performed on Saturday night. Other people in the lineup this year included JADE from Little Mix, Jojo, Loreen and Erika Jayne.
During her set, the "Goodies" singer stepped out in an all-white ensemble: a corset-style tank top, matching pants, a pair of Nike Air Force 1s, a dramatic fur coat and a large statement-making crown to top it all off.
"Came back to perform in London after a decade and headline the Mighty Hoopla Festival!" Ciara wrote on Instagram a few hours after leaving the stage. "What an amazing feeling it was to hear all 20K + of you singing my songs with me! I will never forget this moment! 🫶🏽 🇬🇧."
Ciara's previous performance in London prior to the Mighty Hoopla was on July 5, 2015, at the Wireless Festival. This event marked the conclusion of her "Jackie Tour" and was her sole European show during that tour.
Before that, she performed in London in June 2009 as a supporting act for Britney Spears' The Circus Starring Britney Spears Tour at The O2 Arena.
The 39-year-old also went to TikTok to celebrate this personal milestone, dancing to Brittany Spears' "Toxic" after finishing her performance.
"After you just Headlined the Hoopla Festival with over 20 plus thousand crowd," she wrote as her caption. The week before, Ciara presented at this year's American Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star'
Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star' NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal jumped on this week's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce. The four-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP chatted with the NFL brothers about this year's Oklahoma-Indiana NBA Finals, his memories of Kobe and even his favorite Taylor Swift song (spoiler alert: it's "I Knew You Were Trouble"). Shaq, who has been DJing as DJ Diesel for years, had DJ advice for Travis. "You've got to get me on the DJ booth, man." Kelce said. "You've got to teach me your ways." "Bro, I got you," O'Neal responded. "You know what's crazy? You opening up for your girlfriend? Bro you'd be a [expletive] star. Twenty minutes. Ten minutes. Hyping up the crowd? Oh my god." It's a perfect fit as Travis Kelce has already displayed his show business side as the Kansas City tight end joined girlfriend Taylor Swift on stage in London last summer to perform the intro to "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" on her Eras Tour. Warning, some NSFW language is included in the clip. O'Neal went on to talk about meeting Swift -- and rapper Ice Spice -- at the 2024 Super Bowl. Could we see a DJ Diesel and Travis Kelce collaboration soon? We need this in our lives after seeing these two on this week's New Heights episode.

Bo Nix had a great take on expectations for the 2025 Broncos
Bo Nix had a great take on expectations for the 2025 Broncos After quarterback Bo Nix impressed in his rookie season and the Denver Broncos made the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2015 last fall, there are heightened expectations for the team going into the 2025 campaign. Broncos coach Sean Payton has pushed back on the notion of "picking up where the team left off" in 2024, noting that every year marks a fresh season with new challenges. Nix has clearly taken that message to heart. When he was asked about expectations for the team and himself after an OTA practice last week, Nix had a perfect response. 'It's a loaded question because each year you start over," Nix said last Thursday. "Nobody really knows what anybody has. That's why you go out there and play the season. If we were all what people said we were going to be, we wouldn't play the season. We would just finish with the final standings of what they said we were going to be. So that's why you play the game. That's why you go out there and go through a full season. We're going to learn a lot from this time to the season. We're going to learn a lot once we get into the season and go. "I have a buddy on the team and we talk about it all the time — we tell each other, 'You're still a nobody, you haven't done anything yet.' We have a lot to prove, and we have a lot to go out there and do. It's people like that who keep you in check. It's teammates that have your back and continue to motivate you because he's right. I haven't done anything up until this point, and I have a lot to prove and a lot to show. Every day it's working. Every day, it's finding a way to get better. You don't want to get to Year 2 or go down the road, and all of a sudden you got stuck and didn't get any better. So that's my focus right now. It's not even worrying about what people say. Just internally, I know I have a long way to go.' Nix is going off a brilliant season in which he surpassed 4,200 yards from scrimmage and scored 34 touchdowns, but there is room for improvement, and he knows it. The QB has arguably already arrived, but the teammate telling him he hasn't accomplished anything yet is undoubtedly a strong motivation. It is true that Nix has not won a playoff game, and that will be among the QB's top goals in 2025. The ultimate goal is obviously winning the Super Bowl, and after getting knocked out of the postseason in the first round last year, fans in Denver will hope to see the team win in the playoffs this season. Nix and the Broncos will take it one step at a time. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
