Ciara and Russell Wilson are celebrating nine years of marriage!
The football player, 36, marked his wedding anniversary with the singer, 39, on Sunday, July 6, through a sentimental social media tribute.
Sharing a video that featured various photographs of the couple throughout their relationship, Wilson wrote in the caption of his post, "From the moment I met you, I knew God was showing me the way."
"Every day since has been a reflection of His grace — full of love, laughter, purpose, and the kind of partnership I used to pray for," he continued.
Added Wilson: "Happy Anniversary, my queen @ciara. You light up my life in ways words can’t explain. Here’s to the journey we’ve walked … and the one we’re still writing together. I love you, endlessly. ❤️."

Ciara and Wilson first met at a Wisconsin basketball game in March 2015. The pair hit it off, and the NFL quarterback proposed to the "Goodies" musician during a surprise vacation a year later.
Months later, in July 2016, Ciara and Wilson exchanged vows during a secret wedding ceremony at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England.
The couple later welcomed three children together: daughters Sienna, 8, and Amora, 1, plus son Win, 5.
Ciara is also a mother to son Future Zahir, 11, from her previous relationship with rapper Future.
Wilson marked the couple's eighth wedding anniversary with a sweet tribute in 2024.
"Since we met, you’ve been my strength in every trial. My joy in every moment. My peace in every prayer. God blessed me with the most incredible gift in you," he wrote at the time.
Ciara, for her part, also celebrated the occasion, writing alongside her own social media post, "I love walking with you, talking with you, being in your arms, and doing everything with you! I’m the happiest girl because of how you love me."
“We're going to travel some,” she said at the time of her upcoming plans with the New York Giants player. “I don't know where we're going to go. ... He does all the planning. So I'm excited for it.”
