Russell Wilson has been loud and proud about his desire to have another baby with Ciara, but the singer would like her husband to take two steps back from his ongoing campaign to expand their family.
In a hilarious moment from Ciara’s video with Access Hollywood posted Wednesday (April 23), the “1, 2 Step” musician reacted to Wilson’s ongoing calls for Baby No. 5 — whom he’s preemptively started calling “Cinco” on social media — by saying, “Someone need to take my husband’s phone, right now.”
“He needs to stop, OK?,” she continued, laughing. “I’m like, ‘Babe!’ Amora came out, and he started talking about Cinco. I’m like, ‘This is disrespectful! Do you know what I just went through right now?’ He is so funny.”
The interview comes about a year and four months after the couple welcomed Amora Princess, Ciara’s fourth child and third with the New York Giants quarterback. The two stars are also parents to 7-year-old Sienna and 4-year-old Win, and the “Level Up” artist shares 10-year-old Future Zahir with ex Future.
In the months since Amora’s birth, Wilson has been not-so-subtly signaling his desire to grow their family even more. “I’m ready when you are,” he commented on one of his wife’s Instagram posts in October. “We can call him Cinco.”
“This is my mating call I see…,” he then wrote in March under a video of Ciara in a peacock-inspired getup. “Cinco goin’ to be on di way!”
Many of the couple’s fans have been cheering Wilson on in his quest, about which Ciara told Access Hollywood, “He’s got a great campaign going, I’m not gonna lie … Y’all going to have a little love and sympathy for my ovaries over here? For my uterus?”
After meeting in 2015, Ciara and the athlete tied the knot in 2015. In the interview, the former shared some of her best advice for keeping the spark alive for as long as they have, gushing, “We love our date nights.”
“You gotta carve out time for the both of you,” she added. “Communication is so important. Sometimes you gotta talk about the ugly things and it’s just not comfortable, but I feel like when you break through that, you grow together.”
She also touched on the recent engagement of her husband’s former teammate DK Metcalf and her friend Normani, whom Ciara and Wilson set up. Earlier this month, the “Motivation” singer said on The Jennifer Hudson Show that she’d love for the “Goodies” artist to officiate their wedding and recalled, “[Ciara] kept telling me, ‘There’s this guy, there’s this guy,’ for literally like two years … when the time came around and the time was right, God put all of that together.”
On Access Hollywood, Ciara said, “Whatever DK and Normani want us to do, we’re going to be there for them.”
“We are beyond happy,” she added. “Like, we knew. We really believed in our souls that it was meant for those two to meet each other.”

10cc drummer Paul Burgess has announced that he is leaving the band because the demands of touring have become too much for him.
The 75-year-old musician, who also spent time performing with Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, and The Icicle Works, has chosen to walk away from the legendary rock group after more than five decades.
He shared: “After so many wonderful years with 10cc, I must admit that the rigours of touring are no longer manageable for me as I get older, and I feel it’s time to let go of the long hours in airports and endless travel on buses.
“I’m not planning to stop playing altogether. I will still perform but at a pace that feels right, working alongside old friends and a new group of fellow musicians called The Guilty Men.”
Frontman Graham Gouldman confessed that it will feel unusual to perform without his “longest-running musical associate.”
He explained: “When Paul and I first joined forces in 10cc, we never could have imagined that we’d still be at it after 30 years, let alone 52.
“Paul has been my longest musical partner and it will feel different to turn around and see another drummer, but I completely understand why he no longer wants to sit on a plane for 14 hours or wake up in a new hotel every day for weeks at a time.”
Ben Stone, who has previously played with Mike and The Mechanics and Bonnie Tyler, will be taking over on drums.
Paul, who had several runs with 10cc after joining in 1973, performed his final show with the I’m Not In Love band in Alexandria, Virginia this past September.
The group is set to continue their And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour in the UK next year.
