Russell Wilson Rents Out Waffle House For Ciara’s Birthday

“Oh, my gosh! Babe! This is like next level.”

Russell Wilson surprised his wife Ciara with a fitting gift on her 38th birthday: he rented out an entire Waffle House.

The Atlanta-bred singer shared a video on Instagram gushing over her bae’s thoughtfulness given she’s a sucker for the southern chain restaurant. For many ATLiens, Waffle House is a cultural icon.

“Oh, my gosh! Babe! This is like next level. This is like top, top!” Ciara said. “My honey knows how much I love Waffle House.”

Because Ciara is pregnant with her fourth bundle of joy, the quarterback said he knew she’d crave waffles and eggs.

She wrote on Instagram, “Waffle & a Date…You know my heart Baby! I love you so much @DangeRussWilson! #WaffleHouse #BDAY 🧇❤️🤟🏽🎂”

Waffle House staff sang "Happy Birthday" to the pop star and surprised her with a donut tower topped with candles. The restaurant was jazzed up with balloons, and they rolled out a literal red carpet for the couple.

“Now watch everyone go to Waffle House and change their perception Lmao. This came at the perfect time regarding that damn list,” someone commented under the video, referencing the viral no-first-dates list. “Russell is indeed the standard for men right now in this generation, argue with yourself🤷🏾‍♂️🔥”

Though Waffle House came in at No. 27 on the list, it’s far from the first date for the couple. Plus, Wilson put his own flair on the date.

On Wednesday (Oct. 25), Wilson showed the “Goodies” singer love on Instagram with a heartfelt birthday message captioned, "Happy Birthday to my Queen, @ciara ❤️. You truly are Heaven sent, the perfect mother to our children, and God's blessing to me as we get to do life together as Husband & Wife."

“We are all truly BLESSED!! I'm so grateful that God put you into my life and we've been able to create an amazing (growing) family.”

The mommy mogul is expecting her third child with Wilson. They share daughter Sienna Princess and son Win Harrison. Ciara shares son Future Zahir Wilburn with ex-fiancé Future.
