Ciara and Russell Wilson are working on their ninth year of marriage and seem to be going on as strong as ever. Ciara just revealed the secret to keeping their bond strong.

The singer and the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback have been married since July of 2016 and have three children together and share one from Ciara’s previous relationship. They are a very tight knit family as evident by their Thanksgiving memories, and their all-black fit Christmas photo.

Ciara also keeps things spicy with her fits that Wilson comments on like her “lioness” look that had the QB joking about having baby No. 5 with her, and her SassCi fit that had him saying, “see u in a lil bit.”

She’d go on to say finding that “giddy” feeling when you first meet someone and carrying it over throughout the relationship is key.
