The Wilsons and the Bryants share a very special bond. Look at the two ladies, Ciara And Vanessa, how they have their own time together.  Last year in December, the two besties got together for a mom date at Disneyland and Ciara posted an epic video of the two having a ton of fun. The two got to spend some time together at Disney and ride a roller coaster. Ciara posted the video on TikTok and Instagram, and said “Moms need Disney too 🤘😝,” and “Nothing better than Disney fun with my boo @vanessabryant 🤘.” The two had some tongue-wagging fun on that coaster, too. Just two months before this, Vanessa had something special to convey to Ciara.

The wife of the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant made sure to wish her bestie Ciara, wife of Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson, a happy 39th birthday in November. She took the time to post two videos on her Instagram Stories with times she hung out with Ciara. Vanessa has also been spotted in Ciara’s concerts on many occasions. Not only the ladies of the household, but the children are also friends with each other.

Vanessa and her daughters, Natalia, 22, Bianka 7, and Capri 4, get along well with Ciara, Wilson, and their kids, daughter Sienna Princess, 7, son Win Harrison, 3, and daughter Amora Princess 10 months, as well as Ciara’s son Future Zahir, 9, who she had with her ex-fiancé, rapper Future. Ciara and Wilson have a house in Los Angeles, while Vanessa lives in Newport Beach. With all of them so closely bonded, how could Ciara miss her bestie’s daughter’s special day?

Ciara along with her husband, Wilson, posted a story on Instagram. The story has nothing but birthday wishes for a girl who’s missing her legendary father, Kobe Bryant- Natalia. In an IG story, Ciara was with Natalia Bryant in a selfie and the text over it goes like…“Nani Boo @nataliabryant!! Happy Birthday Young Queen. We are so proud of you! We love you so much! 🎉💃🎂.” That’s a warm wish.

Natalia is the eldest daughter of late Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s four daughters. Unfortunately, we lost the basketball legend in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, where Natalia’s sibling, Gianna, also died. But Natalia has followed dad’s footsteps in working on the craft and working tirelessly, as Kobe used to do for his 20 years of NBA career.

Natalia is a USC film student and a model. Sports fans saw her dazzling presence in various sports, including WNBA and tennis. And on this birthday, Natalia has turned 22. Apart from Russell Wilson and Ciara, Natalia’s mom, Vanessa Bryant, sent a birthday message for her too. She posted on Instagram, “To my firstborn, I love you so much!… I’m so proud of the beautiful, smart, talented, and loving young woman you are!… You are kindness, light, and love personified! Happy 22nd birthday @nataliabryant !!! We love you so much Nani-Banani! 😘❤️🎉🎂.” But the custom of wishing each other on birthdays is not limited among the ladies of the two families.

In November last year, Vanessa extended the ritual to Wilson as well when he wished the QB on his 36th birthday while calling him her “brother.” Interestingly, the big sister did quite a thing to pamper this brother. It was week 13 in the NFL, and the Steelers defeated the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The win had secured the Steelers’ spot atop the AFC North standings. While celebrating his win, Wilson returned home to find a package waiting from Vanessa.

He shared a video of him opening the package on social media, and it was nothing other than the highly sought-after Nike Kobe 6 ‘Grinch’ Vapor Edge cleats that were released around Thanksgiving. The cleats took the NFL by storm in week 13, with several stars wearing the cleats back then. But it surely is different when they come from the Queen Mamba herself! With such a deep-rooted bond, it is evident why the Wilsons did not miss sending their good wishes to the Bryant kid even when they were reeling from a heartbreaking personal loss.

Russell Wilson and Ciara lost a four-legged family member

Hours before Ciara and Russell shared a wish for a birthday, the NFL couple lost their beloved Great Dane named Prince. The couple announced this tragic news on Thursday. Prince was a 12-year-old dog who survived cancer two times. Russell Wilson reacted on Instagram about his four-legged friend’s loss. He wrote, “Prince, 12 years ago you came into my life… I got you my rookie year & you have been a blessing to our family with so many memories, hugs, and kisses from our 4 kids and us.” That speaks volumes about his bond with Prince.

He continued, “You will forever be a part of us. Today was a hard day. But you overcame cancer 2x and lived 12 years when most live 6. Heaven got a good one! Forever the Prince of Peace. Love you.” Wilson hasn’t forgotten his first year in the NFL. 2012 was the year when two best things came to his life, one was ‘Prince’ and the other one was his selection in the NFL (the Seattle Seahawks). Wilson also has two more Great Danes,

One is Naomi, whom he got right after his Super Bowl. And the youngest one is named Hero. According to Wilson, “They like to wrestle each other.” But at the same time, he also added, “They are really fast, edge rushers for sure.” Interestingly, whenever the family is away for more than a week, they always take the three huge dogs with them. So what is the best part of having them in one’s life?

“Every time you come home, they welcome you,” Wilson said. At the same time, he also recommended having a dog at some point of life. Russell Wilson has lost a buddy, but now he must be waiting to clear the dust of defeat and stand strong in the upcoming NFL season. But before that, a true Steelers fan must pray for Prince to rest in peace.
