Cici and Russ Strike Again! Russell Wilson Reveals He & Ciara Helped Donovan Mitchell Propose to Coco Jones
Ciara and Russell Wilson just may have the Midas touch when it comes to hooking up singers and athletes.
On the heels of the news that Cleveland Cavaliers baller Donovan Mitchell had popped the question to singer Coco Jones, Russell posted the lovely couple's announcement with a revelation that he and Ciara played a part in pulling off the romantic moment. And, honestly, we're about fed up with them not dropping the deets for the girlies.
'Ciara and I are so happy for you two lovebirds,' he said in an Instagram story. 'Thanks for allowing us to plan this with you Spida.'
Chile, do we need to be asking Ciara and Russell to go to the thrown of grace on our behalf? The pair also played Cupid to NFL star DK Metcalf and singer Normani who announced their engagement via Vogue in March.
' Me and Ciara are really close, and Russell and DK were teammates on the Seattle Seahawks,' Normani said at the time. 'About two years prior to us even meeting, they were playing music videos in the locker room and 'Motivation' ended up popping up on the screen. He was like, 'The moment that I saw you come up on that screen, I said, 'That's going to be my wife. That's going to be my girlfriend one day.'' I was in a relationship at the time, and then the chips just fell the way that they did.'
Ciara and Russ took to IG after DK and Normani's announcement with a cute picture of the four of them on FaceTime saying,
'@RussellWilson and I knew when we introed y'all 3 yrs ago..love was truly in the air. Now y'all gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news! @DK Metcalf @Normani we love yall so much.'
Ciara and Russ know a thing about making it last forever as they just celebrated 9 years of marital bliss.
'9 years of pure joy, laughter, growth, and love! God really is the best author! I thank Him for our love everyday! Baby, thank you for loving me the way you do. In your arms is my truest and safest place!,' Ciara posted in a sweet tribute to her hubby. 'There is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for you! I'm so excited to keep loving you more each day! Happy Anniversary @DangeRussWilson here's to forever more! I love you so much!' https://www.instagram.com/p/DL0kw3ABtUM/?img_index=1
And Ciara took the time to run down on Jim Jones and press him about finally marrying his longtime love, Chrissy, during this year's BET Awards. The 'Ride' singer told the Harlem rapper that the streets needed to see the couple tie the knot 'for the culture' and that 'it's time.'
'Why not? Y'all have like lived life in every capacity anyone could live it in,' she said to Jones. 'You living like you've already done it. So, let's just seal it properly. Because you know what? She deserves it, you deserve it.'
Now, we wait to see if she and Russell truly have that direct line to God and if Jim and Chrissy will finally head down the aisle.

Ellen DeGeneres supports Rosie O'Donnell as Donald Trump threatens to strip her US citizenship
Ellen DeGeneres has thrown her support behind Rosie O'Donnell after President Trump threatened to strip the comedian of her US citizenship. The former talk show host, 67, took to Instagram over the weekend to give props to the 'A League of Their Own' star, 63, after she branded the commander in chief a 'dangerous old soulless man.' 'Good for you,' DeGeneres — who moved to England with her wife earlier this year — wrote alongside a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post, as well as a screenshot of O'Donnell's response to the president. 5 Ellen DeGeneres has thrown her support behind Rosie O'Donnell after President Trump threatened to strip the comedian of her US citizenship. Getty Images for Live Nation On Saturday, the POTUS raged that he's giving 'serious consideration' to taking away the comedian's US citizenship — prompting her to fire back with a flurry of posts ripping him and picturing him with Jeffrey Epstein. The digital spat kickstarted after Trump branded O'Donnell a 'threat to humanity' in a fiery post on his social media platform. 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump wrote. 'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!' O'Donnell has been living in the Dublin suburb of Howth, in Ireland, with her 12-year-old child since January, having originally moved there following Trump's election win over Kamala Harris. 5 The 'A League of Their Own' star, 63, branded the commander in chief a 'dangerous old soulless man.' @rosie/Instagram 5 DeGeneres reposted a screenshot of O'Donnell's response to the president. @ellendegeneres/Instagram In March, O'Donnell revealed she and her child, who is non-binary and autistic, were in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship following their trans-Atlantic move. The comedian took to Instagram over the weekend to issue a scathing response to the prez following his strongly-worded post. 'Hey Donald – you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,' O'Donnell said in one post, featuring a photo of Trump posing with Epstein. 'You call me a threat to humanity – but I'm everything you fear: a loud woman a queer woman. A mother who tells the truth an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze,' she railed. 'You crave loyalty – I teach my children to question power you sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma you lie, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist. You are everything that is wrong with America… I'm not yours to silence. I never was.' 5 Trump, for his part, branded O'Donnell a 'threat to humanity' in a fiery post on his social media platform. Truth Social/realDonaldTrump 5 The POTUS raged that he's giving 'serious consideration' to taking away the comedian's US citizenship. Getty Images It's unclear what legal basis Trump could use to strip the Long Island native of her American citizenship. Under current law, Americans cannot lose their US citizenship status even if they obtain citizenship elsewhere.

Video: Golden Retriever Has a Unique Way of Communicating With Owner
Dogs have some of the most unique ways of communicating with their owners, often leaving them in awe. To provide an apt example, a recently uploaded Instagram video shows how a Golden Retriever conveys her words to her owner. Named Gamja, the pup flaunts her tap dancing skills when she wants to say something. In the caption, her pet parent highlights, 'Her little tippy taps,' which has also gained viewers' attention. In a cute Instagram video, a Golden Retriever named Gamja communicates with her owner through tap dancing. It begins with the furbaby approaching her pet parent near the latter's bed and tapping her front legs. The owner understands that the dog wants to say something. Thus, she asks, 'What is it?' Gamja growls, which the owner interprets in an in-video text: 'You know better! You are late!' Laughing, her human asks if the pup is hungry. The Golden moves her eyebrows, assuming she knows what her owner is trying to communicate. While the pet is brainstorming, her sibling, Chip, appears. As the latter hears the word 'hungry,' he is all set to go to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the Golden Retriever exclaims, 'Starving!,' in the video. This gains Chip's attention as he returns and agrees with Gamja. He supports his sibling and barks at the owner so that she can get out of her bed and serve them food. When the pet parent says, 'Let's go!,' both Golden Retrievers get excited. Chip hops on the bed, showcasing his happiness, while Gamja waits patiently.
