  • Ciara on Motherhood: ‘I’m a Helicopter Parent’

    Singer Ciara Wilson is embracing her role as a mom of four, and she admits that when it comes to her kids, she likes to stay deeply involved. In a recent appearance on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast, the star opened up about her parenting style, her milestone 40th birthday, and why she’s a bit of a ‘helicopter’ parent.

    Staying ‘Up in the Mix’

    Ciara confessed to being “up in the mix” with her children’s lives, explaining her reasoning: “This world is crazy… and so I think you’ve got to be locked in even more now because the access is so high.” Her biggest fear is that her children will learn crucial information about themselves or the world from external sources before she can guide them.

    As a mother to Future (11, with ex-partner Future), and Sienna (8), Amora (1), and Win (5) with husband Russell Wilson, Ciara feels it’s essential to stay informed about their experiences. “I want to be, like, aware of what’s happening in their world,” she shared, emphasizing the need to understand their perspectives by reflecting on her own childhood.

    The Joys of Motherhood and Turning 40

    The “Level Up” singer also shared how her children help keep her feeling young and “tapped in.” Reaching the age of 40, which she celebrated on October 25th, has been a significant milestone. She described feeling “more alive, more grounded, or more ready for what God’s about to do in my life.”

    Ciara’s excitement for her 40s was partly inspired by her motherhood journey. She recalled a conversation with another mom at her children’s school who looked fabulous at 45. “Girl, the 40s are the new 20s, but with money,” the mom told her, a sentiment Ciara seems to be embracing wholeheartedly. She believes her next two decades will be even better, filled with “wisdom, grace, and power.”
