The Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl hopes were dashed on Saturday when
they were booted from the playoffs after losing 36-20 to the Atlanta
Falcons—but it seems people are paying even more attention to what
quarterback Russell Wilson did immediately following his team's defeat
than they are the loss itself.
Rather than take to social
media to express absolute despair, Wilson, 28, showed exactly where his
priorities are, penning a touching Instagram note to his wife, Ciara,
31, expressing joy over their marriage as well as their recent
announcement that she is expecting the couple's first child together.
"I will forever win
(because) I get to come home to you every night. The love of my life. I
love you," Wilson wrote to Ciara. "This past year has been full of so
much joy & happiness. From getting married to having our little one
on the way, to your constant endless love. I couldn't be more grateful
to have you in my life Mrs. Wilson. You make every day a perfect day."
In a separate post, Wilson
expressed gratitude for his family as well as his excitement for the
year to come, citing "love and new beginnings"—but he also appealed to
his Christian faith to thank God for his life.
"Jesus is an amazing God!"
he wrote, sharing a photo of himself, Ciara and her son, Future. "I
thank Him every day for bringing us together and I will forever cherish
our loving family.
As Faithwire previously
reported, Wilson and his wife have been open about their faith, with the
two previously sharing their decision to remain abstinent before their
marriage last year.
"And so anyways I told her
right then and there, what would you do if we took all that extra stuff
off the table and just did it Jesus' way?" Wilson said before they wed.
"I said to her, and she completely agreed: Could we love each other
without that?' If you can really love somebody without that, then you
can really love somebody."
