Ciara brought her vibrant energy to Trinidad and Tobago’s 2025 Carnival, embracing the festival’s rich cultural traditions with pure joy. The 39-year-old singer shared glimpses of her revelry on Instagram, posting a video of herself “Chippin down di road” in a striking blue-feathered costume. The clip, set to Machel Montano’s electrifying track “PARDY,” quickly grabbed attention—not just from fans but also from her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson.

Ciara Lights Up Trinidad and Tobago’s 2025 Carnival, Russell Wilson Can’t Look Away!

While Carnival is known for its infectious rhythms and dazzling displays, Ciara’s performance seemed to ignite something extra in Wilson. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, 36, couldn’t resist reacting to his wife’s dance moves with a playful yet flirty comment on Instagram.
“This is my mating call I see…” Wilson quipped, adding, “Keep sippin’ on that @tentoonerum… Cinco goin’ to be on di way!” His cheeky reference to another baby sparked laughter, and Ciara quickly shot back with her own teasing reply: “Someone come take my husband’s phone please,” alongside laughing emojis.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, have built a beautiful blended family. They are raising their three children—Sienna Princess (7), Win Harrison (4), and Amora Princess (15 months)—along with Ciara’s 10-year-old son, Future Zahir, from her previous relationship. Russell Wilson’s romantic journey with Ciara took a significant turn in March 2016 when he proposed to her during their vacation in the breathtaking Seychelles. Just a few months later, on July 6, 2016, the couple exchanged vows in a grand yet private ceremony at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England. As reported by People Magazine, the wedding was described as “secret and secluded,” adding an air of exclusivity to their special day.
Beyond the fun and flirtation, Ciara has been candid about her journey through motherhood, particularly after giving birth to her youngest daughter. The singer recently spoke about how her body has evolved and how Wilson continues to celebrate her curves.
“I also was kind of loving this fourth-baby version of me,” she shared with Bustle. “My baby definitely put a little bit more on my hips and there is, as Russell says, ‘more to grab on.'” She added that while she aims to get leaner and tone up, Wilson encourages her to embrace her body as it is. “I want to lean up a little bit more, tone up more, and he’s like, ‘Don’t get crazy,’ ” she joked.
While Wilson’s reaction set social media abuzz, Ciara had her own reasons for making the trip to the Caribbean. Experiencing the essence of Carnival firsthand, she expressed deep appreciation for the event and its cultural significance.
“Trinidad is so beautiful, it’s my first time here and it’s the best time,” Ciara shared. “This is just the beginning, it’s my first time but not the last.”
Dancing with the band Illusions to Montano’s hit, she fully immersed herself in the festival’s electrifying atmosphere. Soca music icon Montano has long been revered as the “King of Soca,” and his music continues to define the spirit of the celebration.
Minister of Tourism, Culture, and the Arts, Senator the Honourable Randall Mitchell, also reflected on the festival’s lasting impact. “Carnival is more than a festival—it is a movement, a statement, and a legacy,” he told BET. “By preserving our past while embracing the future, we ensure that the heart of Trinidad Carnival remains authentic, ever-inspiring, and forever ours.”
