Singer Ciara has happily announced that she’s pregnant and expecting her fourth child with her husband Russell Wilson.

Ciara and Russell tied the knot in 2016 and share Sienna Princess Wilson, six, and Win Harrison Wilson, three, together. She also has nine-year-old Future Zahir Wilburn from her previous relationship with rapper Future.

The 37-year-old was seen in profile on Instagram as she revealed her large baby bump while dancing in a studio.

She added the caption:

“You look at me like that again, we make another kid… You my heart I’m your rib”.

Ciara Reflects on 20 Years of ‘Goodies’, says she feels blessed

Last week, Ciara debuted the Chris Brown-assisted “How We Roll”, the lead single from CiCi, her forthcoming EP.

The R&B powerhouse sat down with Billboard to reflect on the 20-year anniversary of her debut album, her recent K-Pop collaborations, and the sound of CiCi.

She gushed:

“I feel blessed. I feel like I’m just getting started at the same time. To know that it was 20 years ago that I was just really, really ambitious… dreaming big, I envisioned that I’d be sitting somewhere like this 20 years later”.

In 2004, ‘Goodies’, Ciara’s debut studio album, debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The record spawned three consecutive smash hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including the Missy Elliott-assisted “1, 2 Step” (No. 2), the Ludacris-featuring “Oh” (No. 2), and the No. 1-peaking “Goodies” (with Petey Pablo).

Reflecting on the dominance of ‘Goodies’, Ciara said that she was very aware of her success during that moment because she always believed in herself.

The ‘I Bet’ singer recounted:

“I was on camera, documented right at the graduation, and the guy said, So, Ciara, where do you see yourself a year from now? And in my super-Atlanta thick accent, I said, I see myself having the No. 1 song on the Billboard charts! And then literally, “Goodies” was No. 1 on the Billboard charts. I dreamed big!”.

Speaking on her more recent music, the Grammy-winner described her new Chris Brown duet as a great example of that feel-good R&B, dance, rhythmic, melodic energy that you can play at a house party. It’s gon’ set the house party off right.

She noted that this collaboration with Chris Brown is something that the pair have wanted to do for a long time.

She remarked:

“It was an artist’s dream come true for the both of us”.

Ciara has earned four top ten albums on the Billboard 200, including 2006’s chart-topping Ciara: The Evolution. On the Hot 100, the “Body Party” singer has notched 21 entries, including notable hits such as “Promise” (No. 11), “Level Up” (No. 59), and “Lose Control” (No. 3).
