Ciara said her husband, Giants backup quarterback Russell Wilson, is “always in the mix” when she’s spending time with her celebrity friends.
During the latest installment of Apple Music’s “Level Up Radio,” Ciara and her best friends, singer Kelly Rowland and actress La La Anthony, explained that the Super Bowl champ wants all the tea from the group chat.
“Russ is nosy,” Rowland said, as they laughed.
“He’s all in my business,” Anthony added.
“He will come in the middle of the conversation and [Ciara] is like, ‘Russ Russ Russ,’” Rowland said, laughing. “And he just outright asks.”

The banter was all in fun.
Ciara, Rowland and Anthony have been open about their close friendship, which includes Wilson, whom they praised for looking out for them.
“I love his input because sometimes you do need the male perspective. And he’s another one, he will check me,” Anthony said. “He’ll be like, ‘Sis, this is what you’re doing wrong.’”

Ciara, who’s been married to Wilson since 2016, explained that they’re always looking out for the group.
“We always hold the girls down…Y’all have your own thing with Russ, so my point is if there is something that is love-related, not deep, l’ll be like, ‘Baby, we gotta check on [our friends],’” Ciara said.
“For me, you give me the space to share with him whatever I choose or whatever I don’t choose to share with him,” Anthony said.

Rowland added that “it’s really funny” when Wilson “just interjects” during their conversations.
“Oh yeah, he’ll be in the mix… We love you, babe!” Ciara added.
The couple tied the knot two years after Wilson won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks in 2014.

They are parents to daughters Sienna Princess, 8, and Amora Princess, 1, and 5-year-old son Win. Ciara is also a mom to son Future Zahir, 11, from a previous relationship.
Ciara and her kids haven’t been seen at a Giants game since September.

With Dart, whom the Giants selected 25th overall during the 2025 NFL Draft in April, in the NFL’s concussion protocol, veteran Jameis Winston was picked to start in Week 11 over Wilson.
Winston completed 19-of-29 passes for 201 yards and an interception in a 27-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
The Giants (2-9) visit the Lions (6-4) in Detroit on Sunday. If Dart is able to return, Wilson will likely be pushed down to the No. 3 emergency quarterback.
Wilson signed a one-year deal with the Giants in March after one season with the Steelers.
He started 11 games last season for Pittsburgh, throwing for 2,482 yards with 16 touchdowns, five interceptions and a 63.7 percent completion rate while leading the Steelers to the playoffs.
