A few weeks ago, Russell Wilson told a church that he was waiting until marriage to have sex with his beautiful girlfriend Ciara. Russell is 26, Ciara is 29. Ciara’s also a single mother after her engagement to Future fell apart last year, just a few months after she had given birth to baby Future Zahir Wilburn. My point is that Ciara and Russell aren’t really doing the fake-coy thing, like they’re pretending to be born-again virgins or something. But they are waiting to have sex and… I don’t know, I’m not really judging them for it. Ciara did an interview with Access Hollywood this week and she confirmed what Russell said, and Ciara basically said that this time around, she’s waiting for marriage or engagement. Sure.
Ciara and Russell Wilson aren’t messing around (both literally and figuratively). The couple have made it known that they’ve chosen to remain celibate, and the singer has confirmed during a recent interview with Access Hollywood that they’re not going to do the dirty unless there’s a ring on that finger.
“It’s until the deal is sealed. Absolutely,” the beauty told Kit Hoover and guest co-host Dave Karger when asked if there’s a timeframe, and added that she didn’t feel any type of way when Wilson decided to reveal they’re holding off on sex during an interview. “It was an organic thing for him and I think he was just being honest about where we are. It’s cool when you get to build a foundation with someone on how much you care for each other and really know each other’s personalities, so it’s really fun.”
However, Ciara admits that it can get tough sometimes.
“I have to say, 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 growing with each other, and I’m really enjoying every day that we’re sharing.”
My guess is that “until the deal is sealed” means engagement more than marriage. Or am I wrong? It could go either way, I think. They could get engaged and I could see both of them justifying premarital sex that way. Or they could wait until marriage. Either way, I don’t really think it’s going to completely work out with them, ring or no ring, sex or no sex. They’re putting too much emphasis on NOT banging when banging is just one part of the rich tapestry of any mature relationship.

Why do people have to make everything they do so public? Do we really need to know these two aren’t sleeping together?
Was about to ask the same thing. These two each need a diary.
He brought it up first and she is following up. Eh.
LMAOOOOOOO!!!! @ they need a diary. So so true.
Diaries with little locks and keys!
Exactly. Plus, my gaydar is going off the charts.
@ Celine why exactly…cause a 26 year old baller does not want to engage in sex? I’m curious!
Mine too!!!!;
That’s what I was going to say! Ping ping ping ….
Interesting. Russell has already been married once and that is rumored to have fallen apart due to infidelity.
I think that first marriage fell apart because they waited to have sex. And then they had it and …….. Not compatible???? Lol, I’m joking, but not really. Never understood why wait until marriage. Sex is important part of relationship. I would want to know before marriage.
Ring of Gold playing in anyone elses head? Because yea…
And while sex isn’t a make or break factor it’s damn important!
Mine too. He could be bi though…
That’s what I was thinking too. Why do we need to know? Isn’t that their private business? I’m always suspicious of people who like to proclaim anything about their sex lives, like why do you feel it important for me to know this information and what are you trying to convince me of.
Reminds me of Bristol Palin talking before high school students proclaiming her virtues of abstinence. Tabloids have once again used her second pregnancy; and in both cases unwed to both fathers, as an example of the family virtues, of the political party they claim to represent.
We are all human and no one can predict who will fall from their self-promoted throne of virtues.
Best to be modest and keep one’s private life private, unless the over-sharing ones reallllly believe their own bs enough to survive human failings.

Funny how no one shouts “TMI!!!” when celebrities talk about which sex positions they like and how many people they have slept with….but i guess that’s ok all in the name of progress y’all! yay feminism!!
Let’s face it, a lot of people feel bad and therefor shame virgins or those who choose to wait. Why aren’t they allowed to talk about it but everyone else can discuss the most intimate details of their sex lives?
Ummm that’s just as disgusting to me. I don’t want to know about anyone’s sex life !!!! If these two were sleeping together would they make a public announcement about it? I doubt it…so why make an announcement to tell the world they aren’t sleeping together? What does that have to do with their careers?
I never want to know that either.
What blog are you talking about? Remember the post about Chrissy Tiegan and John Legend joining the Mile High Club?
People were horrified.
Are you kidding? I’ve never seen ANYONE — on this site or any other — respond to sex position details as “feminist” or “progressive”. And I can’t recall a single young, currently famously celeb, male or female, count their number of sexual partners.
If they did, that would ALSO be TMI. Unless it was done in the context of calling out a double standard or defending themselves.
Sting talked about tantric sex literally years ago ans it still follows him to this day…
Exactly, way too much info about personal life.
Yeah, I waited until I found the right person, not for marriage. But i didn’t advertise to everyone around me that I was waiting to have sex, I just kept that private.
I don’t wanna know if someone is having sex or not having sex or waiting. That’s between them
I do not wish to know they bang
I do not wish to know they wait
For all I care their privates could be
Locked behind the pearly gates.
Why is anyone’s mouth so openly yapping about their legs staying shut?
I feel very old. And my ears + what’s left between them want to weep.
I often think TMI, but it is a very unusual choice these days, so I think it’s kind of nice for young teens to realize there are other options than sex on a first date. Would you have minded if they mentioned they’re living together? Since the media reports all the other TMI stuff, like Robin Penn Wright saying Ben gives her the best orgasms of her life, I think it’s refreshing to hear someone say: not til a commitment.
It’s that they feel we want to know. Some do, sure. Some love that tmi.
Either way. Why must any bedroom activities be known to those outside the bedroom? What’s the motive for telling? That’s why it’s all TMI.
I agree with you Nikki. Sounds to me like they have made a unique choice and they have the right to mention it if it’s important to them, particularly in a spiritual context if it is to them a spiritual decision. They didn’t choose to announce it on E! Russell mentioned it at church where sexuality has greater moral meaning than it does in the general culture. Their choice isn’t popular but it’s valid and interesting and any publicity around the fact that it’s OK to not engage in activity that can lead to unwanted pregnancy or disproportionately negative consequences to young women, I’m OK with. I think they’re sweet and I wish them well.
This couple is just so weird, I can’t see it…she doesnt seem to have the brainwashed churchy vibe he’s rocking these days and he always looks more excited about her than the opposite in these photos. He’s like that harmless guy you date in between bad boys, the guy lucky to make it out of the friendzone because you need someone safe.
But hey, Russell is about to sign the biggest deal in the NFL soon so get that ring girl!
“brainwashed churchy vibe” – nice to see tolerance is alive and well on this site.
WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR, OPPRESSED CHRISTIAN MAJORITY????????
“Brainwashed churchy vibe” has nothing to do with tolerance. Omg lol. Ha! Nope, we are just saying the brainwashed twits are just that, twits. Do what you want, but don’t act like you came up with those ideas on your own.
It is brainwashing. The overwhelming majorty of christians were christians before they could even tie their shoes. If they were born in Saudi Arabia, they’d have been brainwashed to be muslim, and so on.
Why does this have to be discussed?
For the same reason who banging who is discussed . I’m always shocked by the response from this blog when a post is about celibacy or a celebrity taking about how they didn’t have sex as a teen. The majority is alway will they stop talking about it, but when it the opposite the majority ignore it.
It’s very telling, isn’t it…
Not me. I don’t want to know who is sleeping with who. That’s way too much TMI.
@ me
I agree I’m the same way but this was just something I’ve notices over time.
Yes!
She is NOT 29 🙂
Ciara is just SUCH a disappointment, such an ALMOST, Gorgeous, comes off adorable in radio interviews, amazing dancer.. so Unfocused on her career, her lane, hawking corsets online, always behind some man, who she was too quick to intro us to, who THEN turns around and diss her,
@QQ. I thought it was just me. While not the strongest vocalist, her pop career should be a hell of alot better. I cannot lie, I was shocked that she accepted a marriage proposal from Future. Did she really think that was going to be happily ever after. I wish she will get back on track, find an awesome producer (call Missy) and just kick ass in promoting it.
Can we for a Sec with That Tiffany??: HE’S BEEN SO TRASH about her MY GOD That Dirty Sprite Song… smack talking about your fourth baby mama… who was trying so EXTRA much to keep this situation with you together
I know it takes two to conceive a child. But I want to put the bulk of the blame on him. This is how he treats the Mothers of his children. Fragin icehole.
Agreed. She went from a rising career to arm candy, wtf?
I live in Seattle. So I should think he’s “god’s gift” right? He just rubs me the wrong way. Even before this. He may be the real deal but it just feels fake. Time will tell.
I’m from Seattle and I 100% agree with you. He needs to tone it down and focus on football.
There were lots of rumors about him not fitting in with the players. I can see why if he preaches this much in the locker room.
Though there were also those rumors of his wife cheating with a teammate. Maybe that’s why he decided to wait til marriage this time? who knows
He’s over playing his hand. No one really cared when he was a robot -.that’s his thing. But now he’s doubling down on the “good guy” image and pushing it too aggressively, all while asking to be the best paid QB in the game (which…) even though it could kill the team’s ability to pay anyone else.
I’m from Seattle too, and my god, has he gone Hollywood or what!? Plus he is not all that. Our defense won that Super Bowl. Look what Wilson did on that last play last year against patriots. Highest payed quarter back my ass!!!!!!
All true Seahawk fans need to take a deep breath and stop ragging on Russ. Would you rather have a raper like Roethelsberger leading the team, or an arrogant creep like Brady? Marshawn’s legs have at best 3-4 seasons left to give; it’s Russ’s arm and head that will be leading the team the next ten seasons. He’s not asking the moon, just to be paid as a top-tier NFL QB. Five years from now, when the current defense is long gone, it’ll be Russ’s quick arm and mobility keeping the ‘Hawks in the playoffs.
He’s not a showboat numbskull and he’s actually fairly quiet about his piety. Better Russ than a head-case like Kaepernik.
Russell is seriously miscalculting right now – and he is famously calculating and controlled. By accounts he’s a very decent human being, just very planned and contrlled. And he’s really playing this offseason all wrong. First the prolonged contract negotiations, now the heavy handed God stuff… I think he’s over playing his hand.
I don’t care…whatever they want to share.
I just want to say: Ciara is gorgeous!!! She is so damn pretty and always was and I really find her a talented musician. I hope she gets together with Missy again and do some awesome music!
She really is a stunning woman!
Same hare. I do miss me some good hip hop music when it was banging, like Timbaland, Pharell William prior Blurred lines incident and of cours Missy Eilliot. Although I miss NAS Na d my girl Lauryn Hill for a long while, I miss those days. I also miss Ciara music as we’ll, she should get back with Jazzy Pha and Missy Elliiot to make some music popping.
I love me some hip hop and r&b. But both music is dead now.
I can’t wait for Lauryn Hill to make a proper return to music. She was the business.
@Kiki
so true! I hate that most of what is called hiphop/r&b nowadays is just a mash with annoying pop and silly pitches…I’m looking forward for Missy to finally release her comeback album.
“Either way, I don’t really think it’s going to completely work out with them, ring or no ring, sex or no sex. They’re putting too much emphasis on NOT banging when banging is just one part of the rich tapestry of any mature relationship.”
All of this.
Yes, this exactly. It’s like people get so obsessed with sex, either having it or waiting for it or whatever, they forget about the rest of the relationship. True, sex or lack thereof can be a dealbreaker, but it’s not the only thing you do together!
This is a contract relationship maybe he is gay. I’m not sure what they are up to but they aren’t into one another. They are terrible at faking it with one another. Lol
He’s been married before
Look, I think waiting is dumb. But waiting doesn’t make him gay. I hate that anyone who seems a bit odd gets gay rumors
Lovely looking couple but why are they telling us this?
She’s gonna be waiting a LONG time.
Doubt it. He seems eager to settle down
Good for them, sex can complicate things sometimes and if they both want to wait I say go for it. I don’t see a problem with them discussing their personal business either, just like I didn’t have an issue with Nicki Minaj talking about her right to orgasm every time, people vary so much so I think it’s good for “influential” celebs to talk about sex(or lack of) in many different ways. I was also celibate for years and found it extremely helpful in weeding out the as*holes, it was hard but worth it once I found someone special, but to each their own!
I agree with you. It doesn’t bother me in the least if celebrities want to discuss their sex lives, whether they’re talking about when they lost their virginity, their sexual orientations, orgasm, what they like, or celibacy. What I don’t get is why there are so many conservative types on here whining about an invisible double standard when it comes to ‘TMI’s. People complain about it being a ‘tmi’ when starlets discuss what they do like sexually just as much as they complain about declarations of celibacy. The only exception was in the Nicki Minaj orgasm article, but that was only because she was discussing it in the context of a magazine where sex is a recurring theme. There is no double standard.
They annoy the sh*t out of me….mostly because it all seems so fake. They look fake together. Not buying.
She’s waiting because it’s his thing, so she’s now on board with it. I highly doubt they both had the same thought at the same time. And what does this entail? Are they sleeping in bed together and doing everything but? If so, give me a break. If not, I just did get why it’s anybody else’s business that they have to keep talking about their non-existent sex life.
why are they making such a big deal about it. he is divorced and she has a child….they have both had the sex.
I don’t understand how talking about not having sex is tmi too so many people on here, but if it was the opposite about them having sex or Ciara talking about having sex with him no one would mind that. How can so many people be uptight or prudish about a couple not having sex, it makes no sense really. Who cares if they want to talk about being celibate, when there is so many articles about celebrities sex lives in magazines.
Most people don’t want to hear about celebs having sex too…celibate or not celibate I don’t want to know.
This seems to hit a very personal note with you based on your comments but I have to say most commenters on here don’t want to hear all about frequency or positions either. It is all generally TMI to many of us.
Yup !
I can’t believe I’m typing this but I wish them luck and everything works out for them.
PS~ Stop announcing your business to the world
I hate the idea of “not buying the cow if the milk is for free”. So old fashioned and sexist. Yet, she’s buying it and promoting it as well.
I’m giving this the side eye. If this is really your decision then let people think what they want and do what you need to do. You don’t need to constantly tell us about it. ( Personally I see a reality wedding special coming soon.)
But personally, you wouldn’t buy a house without an inspection, your wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, I mean, you wouldn’t even buy a wedding gown without trying it on. But you’re going to marry this man without having sex with him? Nope-not me.
Ciara should have said “it’s a personal matter and no one’s business”. I know her career is not doing as well as she hoped so she needs the publicity I guess ? I would have been upset with him if I were her. He shouldn’t be telling people if they are or aren’t having sex. It’s none of our business.
Haven’t had too much use for him when he dumped his first wife right bef signing the huge $$$ contract. If she was cheating on him, hadn’t heard that bef, but wasn’t paying that much attention either.
Well if all the gay rumours are true, there will never be any sex. Also, is that hair nest on him real or fake? The top bit looks really fake.
It’s almost like prostitution – give me a diamond and I’ll give you my body. Worked out great for Mariah and Nick, didn’t it?
Every relationship is a form of prostitution. It is mutually beneficial and money is exchanged for services rendered. Even if it’s not tangible, like “love”.
no comment on their, er, activities, but I must say she is SO gorgeous. I’ve never seen pics of her with red lipstick before and it’s stunning on her even if it’s a total change from her usual look.
Right, and “deal is sealed” has nothing to do with him being in the middle of negotiating a new mega-buck contract? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
Russ is a very smart guy who gets along well with his teammates, and everyone in the front office, coaches and players are expecting him to lead the Seahawks to another ‘Bowl win, if not a couple more before he’s done. He’s a sincere, clean-living guy, but he’s also very smart about the business side of pro ball and he has a good management team. Cooz or no cooz, he won’t be marrying anyone until a prenup is signed.
He did not dump his wife to cut her out of a share of his new contract. They were just college sweethearts who got married too soon.
I know I’m in the minority but as a mother of a 13 year old I think it’s great. So many celebrities talk about their sex life whether they are married or not and they are coming out against the grain. Good for them. I wish them the best of luck.
she’s not that into him. the pictures say it all.
Are they not having intercourse, or are they not having other kinds of sex. Per Bill Clinton there is a definitive difference.
Dear lord she is beautiful. Like possibly one of the most beautiful women ever.
I grew up in an ultra conservative place, and this type of proclamation of “purity” before marriage was very common (young 20s though, not late 20s like these 2). Many couples did everything but P in V sex, which I thought was tmi and hypocritical. Almost all were having troubles in their marriage within a few years because theirs sex life was not great. Many women thought that sex would be great right away since they waited, even though their partner had little practice. The men tended to resent the women for not being more available after marriage, since they had waited so long to get it finally. Typically when these couples should have been talking divorce, they had band aid baby #1. Not true for all, but a major trend among these types…
