Ciara
just made history—and her NFL superstar husband couldn't be prouder. The Grammy-winning icon became the first African-American artist to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone Africa.
The cultural milestone became a personal celebration as Russell Wilson honored his wife's moment with a heartfelt public tribute.
Ciara marks milestone, Wilson matches the moment
On Thursday, Wilson shared Ciara's historic magazine cover in his Instagram story, adding a short but powerful caption: "My Queen. Mrs. Wilson." Fans quickly applauded the public show of support from the veteran quarterback, who shares three children with Ciara. The singer later posted more photos from the shoot, reflecting on what the moment meant for her and others.

'Making history on the cover of #RollingStoneAfrica as the first African-American artist is a moment I'll never forget. This one's for every girl who dares to dream big. Grateful beyond words,' she wrote, celebrating the honor while sending a message of inspiration.
From dance to the locker room, their circle grows
Ciara also marked another special occasion that day—her best friend La La Anthony's birthday. She posted a playful video of the two dancing and posing, showing the same warmth she's known for in her own family.
La La, the ex-wife of NBA star Carmelo Anthony, and Ciara have remained close through the years.
Meanwhile, Wilson found time to build bonds off the field. On Friday, he showed love to one of the league's most exciting young talents: New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, who's entering his second year. Wilson reshared a Giants post hyping Nabers' 'aura,' soundtracked by an NBA YoungBoy song.

The post made its way back to Nabers, who laughed about Wilson's music choice.
The QB responded with a cheeky nod to Gen Z rap culture: "Know lil sumptin," he replied, showing he's got a foot in both worlds—veteran leadership and youthful energy.

Shalini Pandey Pens Heartfelt Tribute To Manali After Wrapping Rahu Ketu Shoot
New Delhi: Actress Shalini Pandey, known for her breakthrough in Arjun Reddy and notable roles in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Maharaj, and Dabba Cartel, has taken to social media to share a deeply personal reflection following the completion of her Rahu Ketu shoot in Manali. In an Instagram post accompanied by scenic photographs, Pandey described her time in the mountains as a transformative journey of quiet introspection and unexpected connections. 'A little love letter to Manali,' she wrote, crediting local cafés, pottery hobbies, stray dogs, and the kindness of strangers for grounding her. She added special mention of Manali Strays, urging followers to support the animal rescue centre that touched her heart. She continued the post with, "I spent a month here, shooting for a project, living in the lap of the mountains, and trying to settle into a rhythm far away from home. I missed AJ and BIR terribly(My baby dogs). Every single day. There were moments the silence felt heavy… and yet, slowly, Manali started holding me. In the unspoken kindness of strangers. In the love of Himachali dogs who'd just come sit next to me. In the stillness of early mornings and the scent of pine. Avir, a small hole in the wall café, became my safe space. Nutella toast, Maggi, and ginger lemon tea, all made by Gautam with such intention and warmth. Pottery, something I've always felt deeply connected to, became a routine on my days off. I found calm in clay, and a kind soul in Sam who made the space feel like mine. And then there was Manali Strays, the rescue center doing truly incredible work with animals. I spent time understanding what they do, and I left with a full heart. If you're reading this, please do support them. They're genuinely changing lives. I went to Manali for work, as an actor, as part of a crew, but I'm returning with so much more. Moments that grounded me. Places that felt like gentle reminders of who I am. And the quiet, generous love of a town that never asked for anything but gave me everything. Leaving this little note here, for memory, for gratitude, and for all the magic Manali tucked into my days. Sharing below the people and places who made it what it was. They deserve every bit of love. @__avir @samspotterystudio @manalistrays P.S. A quiet part of my heart will always belong to Himachal It's where I found BIR my little one my mountain soul The hills didn't just hold me… they gave me a piece of forever" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shalini Pandey (@shalzp) Pandey expressed gratitude for the companionship of Himachali dogs, the comfort of simple meals—Nutella toast, Maggi, and ginger lemon tea and creative outlet through pottery. With Rahu Ketu now wrapped, Shalini is set to feature in the upcoming film Bandwaale alongside Zahan Kapoor, continuing her trajectory as an actress driven by authenticity and emotional depth.

She admitted that she still loves "hanging" in and watching TV shows or films with her husband on their date nights. She then went on: "My love language is also quality time.. And I think that it just depends on the mood, like I'm totally okay spending time in the house on the couch snuggled up watching TV. I mean, we can get into a series and binge it, we can watch movies, we can watch scary movies." Meanwhile, this recent outing is another hint at Savannah and LeBron's strong relationship.
