When he and Ciara made it official, Russell Wilson became the stepfather to the son she shares with ex-fiancé rapper Future. And clearly, Future Zahir Wilburn wasted no time in becoming a major part of Wilson's life. Per E! News, when Ciara posted about her son's second birthday on Instagram, the quarterback commented, "Watching him grow over the past year and a half has been the most fulfilling and special things I've ever been around."

When Wilson and Ciara announced in 2017 that they were expecting a child, Future Jr. appeared in the maternity shoot, which caused some controversy. Despite that, Wilson has never shied away from his love for his stepson or his role as a stepfather. In an interview with "Good Morning America," the athlete opened up about being a parent to Future Jr. "Being a stepdad has taught me, really, what love is like, what life is really like, [and] how God intends us to love," Wilson said. "One of the greatest gifts in the world is children." 

Wilson and Ciara are now a family of five, and the QB is open to the idea of continuing to grow. Of their blended family, Wilson told BuzzFeed, "It's easy to love somebody that's blood and everything else, but when you can love somebody just like it's your own child and everything else, that's what real love is like."
