Move over, Beyoncé and Jay-Z—Ciara and Russell Wilson just dropped the cutest collab you didn’t know you needed. At Super Bowl 2025, they showed up in matching ‘fits sharper than Patrick Mahomes’s no-look passes. Ciara’s custom Steelers gear (complete with Russ’ #3) during his Pittsburgh era? Chef’s kiss. But let’s not just talk fits. These two aren’t just-style soulmates, but they also appeal to the music of each other’s hearts,

So for Valentine’s Day, the singer-quarterback duo hijacked Apple Music’s Me and Bae playlist, turning it into a love letter set to a soundtrack. “If you’re ready to feel love, listen here,” Ciara teased on Instagram, flexing their takeover of the $7B streaming giant’s vibe. Picture this: slow jams, throwback bops, and maybe a few tracks from Ciara’s own catalog (because why not?). It’s the audio equivalent of a candlelit dinner… if that dinner included sideline selfies and touchdown dances. “In honor of Valentine’s Day, @dangerusswilson and I took over” and they for sure did.

“We make time for date nights to keep things fresh,” Ciara told Bustle, and honey, their OOTDs are proof. Even their TikTok feed is a highlight reel of coordinated celebrations, like when Wilson balled out for 414 yards and 3 TDs against the Bengals, and Ciara posted a victory dance that broke the internet. This is how you couple-goal in 2025.

Ciara’s secret? “We never go to bed mad,” she told Apple Music’s Over It Radio. That, and weekly Friday date nights where they “keep the sexy alive” (her words, not ours). Meanwhile, Russ is out here dropping lines smoother than his play-action fakes: “With me, you’re never losing.” Cue collective Awws from every football widow in America.

Russell Wilson shares a heartfelt tribute

While Ciara was curating bangers, Russ was busy being the ultimate hype hubby. Fitness guru Blitzfits posted a pic of Ciara-Russ slaying together, captioning it, “Love Day Dump, hope yall are enjoying date night.” Russ reposted it with a comment so sweet it could’ve powered a candy factory: “@ciara 🖤🖤🖤.” No essay, no flash—just three black hearts and a vibe.

And let’s not forget Russell Wilson’s 2024 redemption arc: 2,482 pass yards, 16 TDs, and a Pro Bowl nod after dragging the Steelers to a 10-3 record post-calf injury. Even in their Wild Card loss to the Ravens, he threw for 270 yards and 2 TDs like a man who knew date night was waiting. “I’m grateful for you every day,” he wrote to Ciara on V-Day, blending gridiron grit with Hallmark-level romance. Together, they’re the NFL’s answer to Crazy Rich Asians—net worth: $185M, mansion collection: endless, love: unshakable.

Rewind to 2015: Wilson slid into Ciara’s DMs faster than a blitzing linebacker. Their first date? A UW basketball game followed by a marathon chat where they ‘forgot to eat‘ (relatable). “Next thing I knew, it was midnight,” Russ later gushed, sounding like the protagonist in a rom-com montage. Fast-forward to three kids, two lavish weddings, and one viral Apple Music playlist later, and they’re still serving #CoupleGoals with the stamina of Tom Brady in OT.

As Russell Wilson eyes free agency (Raiders reunion with Pete Carroll, anyone?), Ciara’s already hinting at baby #5: “God made you for me and our 4 babies,” Russ wrote on V-Day, leaving room for a fifth tiny Wilson. Whether they’re expanding their squad or just dominating Spotify streams, one thing’s clear: this duo plays love like it’s fourth-and-goal—all heart, no regrets. Now, where’s their rom-com, Netflix?
