Ciara Introduces Sienna Princes After Shielding Daughter’s Face From Public For Almost a Year

February 18, 2018 by JJ

At a time and era when several celebrities successfully purposefully shield their babies’ faces from the media, pop singer Ciara has decided to share her daughter’s for the first time in a new app.

On Thursday, the Body Party singer introduced her daughter with NFL quarterback Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks on the app called TraceMe.

“I’m so excited to be opening up my world to you on TraceMe,” Ciara told fans who follow her on the app. “You guys know that I tend to be private with a lot of things, but with TraceMe I can have a genuine, unfiltered connection with you all.”

It also bucks the older tradition of having a big reveal on a magazine for millions of dollars given at one time, celebrities took home million+ dollar paydays for sharing their baby’s first photos.

Gone are those days because with the advent of social media, a lot of celebs are sharing their babies first pics with their fans directly, though not all.

Celebrity moms share first photos of their newborns

Zoe Saldana, Beyonce and Kelly Rowland for the first year, Brit Rochelle Humes and others didn’t open their children up to public scrutiny. Today, Keisha Knight-Pulliam still keeps her daughter Grace’s face from her social media feed.

We never have seen Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s children and most likely will never see them either. Given all the ridicule and shaming celebs like Tia Mowry received over her son, and Kimora Lee Simmons’ daughter Aoki Lee, we can see why.

Ciara explained why she chose to reveal.

“My motivation for this was to give back for all of your support throughout the years,” she explained. “We now have a special place where you can get to know more about me, and see all the fun things that go on with my music, my family, my fashion and so much more.”

The model and dancer has a 3 1/2 year old son named Future Zahir Wilburn with her ex fiance hip hop performer Future.

Ciara Shares First Photo of Daughter Sienna…Sort Of

October 3, 2017 by JJ

So I get this inbox of a brand new article reading: “Ciara shares a First Photo” of daughter Sienna Princess Wilson.

And I get excited!

Since welcoming her first child with hubby Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson earlier this year, the “Body Party” singer has never shared a photo of baby girl’s face.

So, I’m scrolling through this 4 page blog post and enjoying all the lovely photos of the family culled from their respective Instagram feed and get to the last photo with the big reveal:

And it is literally a photo of the child’s back! LOL! I fell for it. Hook. Line. and Sinker.

Granted it was an adorable photo of the model and her son Future Zahir Wilburn with ex fiancé hip hop artist Future.

Thr trio are wearing matching Wilson Seahawks jersey and are overlooking the football field below with daddy playing.

Lovely!

Bradley Cooper and his long time girlfriend Victoria Secret model Irina Shayk became first time parents when they welcomed daughter Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper in April.

Super Bowl: Let’s Talk What’s Hot and Trending with Ads

February 4, 2017 by JJ

Guest Post

With the big game one day away, the teams are focusing on their game plans and the advertisers are doing the same. Although a Super Bowl ad is a yearly tradition for some companies, others save their entire ad budgets for the exposure.

Over the past 30 days, there have been more than 75,000 social posts related to Super Bowl Advertising, but 40,000 of those have been posted just in the past seven days, according to international social media analytics firm Talkwalker.

So, who’s leading the way in pre-game Super Bowl ad hype? Over the past seven days, Snickers has been mentioned in relation to the Super Bowl 5,046 times, while Skittles comes in second at 4,444 and Mr. Clean 4,278.

Snickers is debuting what it is calling the first live Super Bowl commercial ever and the buzz around it has included more than 1.4 million YouTube views of the teaser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JTGJCMoLAE

In its Super Bowl ad debut, Mr. Clean has gotten a lot of buzz with its new take on cleaning, with this USA Today post claiming “Mr. Clean Gets a Little Dirty in New Ad” and garnering more than 28,000 likes.

One company that has received a lot of attention is Heinz – for choosing to not advertise in this year’s big game, but instead investing that $5 million plus that it would have spent on an ad in giving its employees the day off the Monday after the Super Bowl, using the hashtag #smunday, a campaign to make Super Bowl Monday a national holiday. Heinz may be on to something, as Super Bowl Monday as a national holiday sounds like a good idea to many Americans and the hashtag has caught on with more than 2,800 social posts in the past seven days.

With multiple ads for multiple brands, Anheuser Busch is getting a lot of mentions – but is still only in fifth place among brands mentioned. But this trailer for its ad for Budweiser, racked up 23,000 Facebook views.

January 18, 2017 by JJ

Ciara took her 2-year old son Future Zahir to cheer on her husband Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson during his playoffs game against the Atlanta Falcons. Although his team didn’t win, she made sure to let all the disappointed know she was still proud of her man for a great season.

“No Greater Blessing Than Having Family. We’re Proud Of You @Dangerusswilson ❤ ” she captioned a photo of herself and Wilson carrying swinging his step-son in hand on their way to their private jet back home. He already has one Superbowl ring so… meh!

Bump Watch: Ciara is Having a Fresh-Faced Pregnancy

January 6, 2017 by JJ

By the looks of her joyful photos she posts on Instagram, it looks as though Ciara is enjoying her pregnancy with her second child, first for her and husband Russell Wilson.

She posted this glorious and happy photo on her social media account this past Monday.

She captioned the fresh-faced selfie “Good Morning ?” showing off her bump in a snug black jersey top. She had little to no make up on showcasing a very fresh face. We’re noticing more and more of her less glamorous shots which is quite refreshing.

She’s a down-to-earth gal, it seems.

Ciara and Wilson, the quarterback for the NFL team Seattle Seahawks wed in a lavish ceremony in Liverpool in the UK last July. She is mom to 3-year old Future Zahir Wilburn with ex-fiance hip hop artist Future.

Good Morning ?

Reflecting on Ciara’s Stunning W Mag Maternity Shoot

December 19, 2016 by JJ

My sister posted a fab photo of Ciara in a low back dress recently and it reminded me of the stunning photo shoot the singer, who is expecting her second child, did for W magazine when she was pregnant in 2014 with her son Future Zahir.

I scrambled to Ciara’s page expecting to see if she really was rocking that particular dress whilst pregnant but I was instead greeted to a tender moment with her and husband Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson inside their private jet! Wow! Ooooh Just as nice!

I Wuv This Guy ❤️

December 6, 2016 by JJ

We almost missed this, but 1 million people enjoyed songstress and model Ciara do a funky dance ontop a snow peak mountain in honor of her husband Russell Wilson‘s birthday about a week ago.

The second-time mom-to-be took to Instagram to share the little video of herself doing the cutest moves to Miami dance electronica for the Seattle Seahawks quarterback.
