Singer and songwriter Ciara is married to New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, and she has welcomed her child with rapper Future to his family. A report from TMZ revealed that the quarterback has chosen to adopt her child and that he is now legally a Wilson, with that child’s legal family name now changed as such.

This has sparked some mixed reactions from fans, some of whom were happy for them, while others noted that Future can now legally end child support payments to her. US law states that if the recipient of child support remarries, the child support payments should continue. However, should the new spouse adopt that child, child support payments should end, as it is now the responsibility of the new father/mother.
“Just make sure you end his child support obligation too,” one fan commented.
“I’m not a fan of Future’s music. However if he is taking care of son in every way possible (emotionally, financially, being present, making the necessary sacrifices, etc), there’s no way that boy should have another man’s last name.” another person pointed out,
“This is so personal and no one’s business but theirs… strangers taking sides is bonkers,” another commenter said.
“🙏🏽💪🏽Good for her! She’s doing what’s right and what’s best for her family, son, and husband. Future is a clown and made his own bed.” one supporter said.
“The fact that Future could have fought this tells you everything you need to know.” another person added.
“That Russell’s son. He raised that boy as his own.,” one fan noted.
Ciara was engaged to Future when she gave birth to their son in May 2014. However, reports of his infidelity soon surfaced, and the engagement was broken off.
Ciara’s Child with Future Still Holds the Biological Father’s Last Name Despite Adding Wilson
However, despite Ciara’s oldest son now bearing Russell Wilson’s name, he still retains Future’s real family name, Wilburn. His name is now Future Zahir Wilburn Wilson, which means that the legal name change was not done in disrespect for his biological father, merely adding his adoptive father’s name to it.
Aside from their eldest, Ciara and Wilson share three children together: Sienna Princess, Win Harrison, and Amora Princess. Despite now having four kids officially together, the couple have hinted that they want more. As for Wilson’s relationship with Ciara’s son, the two have grown close and were seen watching the US Open together.
