During her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the singer explained that the realization came gradually. She compared it to a change in taste buds, where she began questioning what she could do differently in her life. Becoming a mother also played a significant role in Ciara's decision. She emphasized the importance of being responsible for another life and considering how her actions and choices would impact her child. Ciara expressed her desire for joy and fulfillment in a relationship, highlighting that being tired all the time was not sustainable. These thoughts and reflections led her to make a pivotal decision in her life. Since then, Ciara has married NFL star Russell Wilson and they have built a family together, welcoming two children and expecting their third. While she and Future continue to co-parent their son, their relationship remains

strained. Future has taken jabs at Russell in his music, and in the past, he accused Russell of not standing up for him when Ciara criticized him on social media. Addressing their co-parenting dynamic, Ciara laughed when asked about it during an interview, hinting that it may be challenging. Future has made public allegations against Ciara, including claims that she prevents him from seeing their son and exaggerating the amount of child support he pays. However, sources close to Ciara have refuted these claims, stating that she has never prevented Future from seeing their child and that the child support amount he mentioned is untrue. Despite the challenges, Ciara remains focused on her family and finding happiness in her life. She has moved forward from her past relationship and is committed to creating a positive environment for her children.
