Ciara and Russell Wilson created quite a stir online after revealing that they had changed Future’s son’s name to include his stepfather’s name. The couple shared an adorable family photo from the U.S. Open, sparking curiosity among fans. While their stylish outfits caught the eye, it was Russell’s caption that really set social media ablaze.
He proudly referred to Ciara as “Mrs. @ciara Wilson, Future Wilson & Sienna Wilson,” and that mention of “Future Wilson” ignited discussions among fans.
Many were quick to speculate whether Ciara’s eldest son, Future Zahir, from her relationship with rapper Future, had been adopted by Russell. However, the reality is a bit different.
According to TMZ, Ciara, who has full custody of Future, legally added the name “Wilson” years ago. This wasn’t an official adoption. Russell hasn’t formally adopted him, but the legal inclusion of “Wilson” is indeed a fact. So, while Future Zahir’s full name still includes his biological father’s surname, Wilburn, it now reflects the united family dynamic that Ciara and Russell have nurtured.
This news isn’t a surprise for those who have been following the family closely. Since tying the knot with Ciara in 2016, Russell has openly shared his strong connection with Future Jr., calling him his “best friend,” a “great son,” and describing him as a “great big brother” to Sienna, Win, and Amora, the three children he has with Ciara.
On Future Jr.’s 11th birthday, Russell expressed his pride, saying, “Happy birthday Future!!! We’re so proud of the young man you are. You somehow teach me something new every day.” He concluded with a heartfelt message: “Daddy and Mommy love you so much!!!”
Ciara’s choice to add “Wilson” to her son’s name seems to celebrate the love and stability of the family union rather than diminish his connection to his biological father. Nonetheless, this decision sparked mixed reactions online.
Some people praised it as a powerful gesture of unity, while others questioned how this might affect Ciara and Future’s co-parenting relationship, which has been the subject of much media attention over the years.
Russell Wilson has fully embraced his role as a father, whether by blood or not. From family outings to heartfelt posts on Instagram, he consistently shows up for Future Jr. as if he were his own child.
