Roommates, the internet stays on detective mode—and this time, a sweet family photo from Ciara and Russell Wilson had folks raising eyebrows and asking questions. The couple popped out at the U.S. Open with their kids looking cute and coordinated, but it wasn’t just the outfits that caught attention. It was the mention of Ciara’s son, Future, with “Wilson” written as his last name in Russell’s caption that sent social media into a frenzy…

Wilson Where? On The Birth Certificate, Babe!
Whew! Turns out the name switch-up wasn’t a typo or pet name. According to TMZ, sources with direct knowledge confirm that Ciara legally added “Wilson” to her eldest son’s name years ago. Ciara reportedly has full custody of 11-year-old Future Zahir, and while his full legal name still includes his father’s last name, Wilburn, the addition of Wilson is very much real. And now, thanks to that one little caption, fans know what’s really been up — and they’ve got opinions.
Social Media Said “Mama Knows Best!”
The Shade Room comment section lit up after folks peeped the name change, and for once, everybody seemed to agree. Many praised Russell Wilson, saying he’s been the true father figure in Future Zahir’s life, while others pointed out that Future likely had to sign off on the legal update. Overall, fans called it a beautiful move, with some celebrating the fact that the entire Wilson family now shares the same last name.
One Instagram user, @jamesrsanders, said, “What one man won’t do another one will!“
This Instagram user @kaysumz28 added, “If future is on the birth certificate yall do know future would’ve needed to sign off on this ..So if this is true then that tells you what type father he is“
And, Instagram user @thecentral_la12 wrote, “I kno she wants to change his first name 😂”
While Instagram user @roll_moduls shared, “Russell is a great dad to him 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Much love and blessings to them!!“
Instagram user @therealeazyeconomicz said, “That’s not his stepson that’s his son 💙 I would do the same“
Finally, Instagram user @faggyfay_ shared, “I have my step dad’s last name, it meant a lot to me when he shared it with me 🥹 he’s my dad if you ask me“
Future Ain’t The Only Wilson Kid Making Headlines
While the internet is buzzing about Future Zahir’s official name update, Ciara and Russell’s daughter, Sienna, recently stole the spotlight in the most unexpected (and hilarious) way. During a Billboard interview, Sienna asked Ciara if she knew her favorite song — and when CiCi guessed ‘Level Up,’ our girl wasn’t having it. “No, Mom, say the real answer!” she clapped back before proudly belting out “Ride!” Yes, that ‘Ride.’ Ciara playfully slumped in her chair like she wanted the Earth to swallow her, but couldn’t hide how proud she was, either. Turns out Sienna fell in love with the track while on tour with her mom — and it’s been on repeat ever since.
