Following their ninth wedding anniversary, Ciara, the singer-songwriter and wife of NFL star Russell Wilson, gave fans a glimpse of their romantic Spain vacation. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, marked their special day this past Sunday with heartfelt celebrations during the offseason trip.
On Tuesday, Ciara posted on Instagram, revealing scenes from their joyful getaway. Russell Wilson, currently enjoying his NFL offseason, accompanied his wife on this tropical retreat. She captioned one post simply, “Spain, Actually,” offering a playful nod to their destination.
The photos show Russell Wilson dressed sharply in a coordinated all-white ensemble, featuring a T-shirt under a blazer, matching pants, and shoes, accessorized by an embellished cross necklace and sunglasses. Ciara complemented him elegantly, wearing a black off-shoulder dress along with bracelets, rings, and similarly stylish sunglasses.
Additional snapshots capture Ciara in a light-colored corset dress with minimalistic jewelry during a jet ride, as well as moments of the couple enjoying vibrant music and dance performances throughout their trip. One striking image shows the pair by the waterside, with Ciara in a glittering short black dress and black pencil heels, while Russell wears a black T-shirt and pants paired with a white blazer.
