The power couple once revealed a powerful message they received from their parents. And it changed their lives completely and forever.

Both Wilson and Ciara have made a great name for themselves in their respective fields. And they give the credit of that to the encouragement they got at home.

Russell Wilson and Ciara got a life changing message 

Russell Wilson has found a dreamer of a life partner in Ciara. The Denver Broncos QB and the rockstar have a mentality that nothing is impossible. And they both get it from their parents. In a 2022 interview promoting a book for children, the couple revealed the kind of encouragement they got at home while growing up.

“This book is everything to us. My used to always say ,’why not you?’ I know Ciara’s parents too, my mom..,” Wilson told Jimmy Kimmel during the interview.

Both sets of parents with the same message? Kimmel had this raging question in mind. So, Ciara took it on herself to explain the situation on national TV.

“Well, his dad used to literally say why not you. And for me, it was more like the energy of why not you being able to do whatever you wanna do and dream of,” the singer pointed out a tiny difference in approach.

And the approach has worked wonders in their lives. While Wilson has won the Super Bowl title during his time with the Seattle Seahawks, Ciara has lifted the Grammy. They have taken the ‘why not you’ message to their hearts and the NFL QB would want to answer his critics again in the same way next season.

“Why not you Russell?”

Russell Wilson needs to hear his father’s words again. He did not have a good first season in Denver and a lot of people are questioning his performance. The Broncos could win just five games last season, finishing dead last in the AFC West. But who will get the franchise out of these dark times?

Wilson can do the needful for the team. The only thing he needs is to hear his father’s message again. ‘Why not you Russell?’. The Broncos went for a proven QB and Wilson is just that. He will just need to push the negativity away and bring in the positivity that his father raised him with.

The QB lost his father more than a decade ago to illness but he is surely heeding his advice even today.
