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.”

Shirley Manson is set to take over curating duties for the Teenage Cancer Trust 2027 concert series, stepping into the role for next year’s Royal Albert Hall shows after Robert Smith led the 2026 edition.
The charity shared the update on Tuesday 28 April 2026, introducing the Garbage frontwoman as just the second guest curator the event has ever had.
To celebrate the reveal, Teenage Cancer Trust also dropped a video capturing Garbage’s standout performance of Lovesong by The Cure, taken from their set at this year’s shows.
Manson is following a legacy shaped by Roger Daltrey, who created and oversaw the week long fundraising concerts from 2000 through 2025, and Smith, who curated the 2026 line up.
Smith’s run featured performances from Wolf Alice, Elbow, Manic Street Preachers, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai and Garbage, along with a sold out comedy night, helping generate £1.4 million so far in support of young people facing cancer across the UK.
Speaking about the opportunity, Manson said: “To follow in the footsteps of the great Sir Roger Daltrey and most beloved Robert Smith by being invited to curate next year’s run of shows is one of the greatest honours that has ever been bestowed upon me.
"I consider it an immense privilege to continue helping raise funds and awareness for our all too often forgotten teenagers in the UK who are living with cancer and the struggle that this entails.
"I hope to curate a fine week of entertainment, calling upon some of my favourite artists to join the cause.
"I am so looking forward to seeing it all come together at the Royal Albert Hall next year and I hope to see you there.”
Smith also spoke highly of Manson while reflecting on the success of this year’s concerts, saying: “Having played a few Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall shows with The Cure, it was a real honour to curate the series in 2026, bringing together so many of my favourite artists to perform for such a great cause.
"The response and support from the audience, in the hall itself and all around the world, was really incredible.
"Garbage were one of the highlights of a stellar week, and I am very sure Shirley, with her great energy, commitment and values, will do a fantastic job in 2027.”
Daltrey also reacted to the announcement, saying: “To have a female musician with a great reputation for quality work is something that's been at the top of my wishlist going forward.
"I will always be there for her if she needs any help with anything.”
The 2027 Teenage Cancer Trust concerts are scheduled to take place from March 15 through 21 at the Royal Albert Hall, with the full line up expected to be announced soon.
