Ciara and Russell Wilson are having a baby!

The singer and the NFL star have both confirmed their happy news that they're expecting their first child together, with Ciara announcing the news on her birthday.

The pregnant star captioned a loved-up picture of her and Russell, as she wrote: "On this special birthday I received an abundance of love from friends and family...and I'm excited to finally share one of the greatest gifts of all that god could give."

While Russell wrote: "The Greatest Blessing of All. Forever Grateful. #BabyWilsonOnTheWay ".

Ciara and Russell, who tied the knot in July at a lavish castle in Cheshire, are also parents to Ciara's two-year-old son Future Zahir with her ex, Future.

After the Goodies singer and the Seattle Seahawks quarterback tied the knot, Russell revealed that his wife is now officially a Wilson, having changed her surname from Harris.

Asked about his marriage, the athlete said: "I'm excited about it. C and I both are crazy in love with one another. She's such a special person, and she can do it all."

Famously, the couple decided to abstain from having sex until after they wed.
