NEW YORK, N.Y. – NFL player Russell Wilson and singer Ciara are engaged.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback posted a video on his Facebook page Friday showing himself next to Ciara, who was wearing a bright ring.

“She said yes. Yeah! Making this thing happen. My baby,” Wilson said. Ciara added: “I’m so excited. God is so good.”

A representative for Ciara confirmed the engagement. The 30-year-old singer was previously engaged to rapper-singer-producer Future. They have a son, Future Zahir Wilburn, who turns 2 in May.

Ciara posted a photo on Twitter of Wilson on bended-knee with the caption: “I feel complete.” She also wrote, “You Are Heaven Sent. I’m Looking Forward To Spending Forever With You.”

Her hits include “Goodies,” ”1, 2 Step” and the Grammy-winning “Lose Control,” with Missy Elliott.
