Ciara bares her baby bump in intimate topless shoot with Russell Wilson and son Future drawing mixed reactions

Ciara has shared a series of candid shots from her photoshoot with Harper’s Bazaar.

In one snap, the pregnant singer, 31, is flaunting her huge belly as she cradles her two-year-old son Future who she has with her rapper ex.

Her husband Russell Wilson is standing behind her while holding onto his wife’s belly with two hands.

“Just the 4 of us,” she wrote alongside the intimate portrait which appears in the latest issue of the glossy magazine.

While most people praised the “beautiful” picture in the comments section, others accused her of doing it to get back at her ex Future.

One wrote: "Ok let me break it down for y'all if you ladies ex man had a wife who was pregnant would you think it be ok for your child to be in a picture naked with them and post it on social media is more my point would you be ok with that ladies."

Another also said she was just trying to copy pregnant Beyonce, who recently showed off her bare belly in a series of stylish photographs.

"This woman has issues," they fumed. "She is trying to get back at Future. She's nothing but a COPY CAT...BEYONCE WANNA BE. Best she has ever lived.”

Others were also a little confused about why Russell's face was hidden.

"Why not have Russ peeking over her shoulder? What is he doing? I can't.”

And another shared: "Ciara has a beautiful family....but that picture makes me feel weird."

But plenty of others praised the picture, with someone else writing: "I kinda like it! It's a little weird with all the hands and arms, lol, but it's different and displays a strong family unit.

"Some of us are too ashamed of the naked human body to see the beauty in it. Her life, her family, her page, her business."

Meanwhile, opening up to the magazine about family life and the impending addition, she said: "I'm just super excited about this time in my life. Like, Oh my gosh, I can see my son running around, and soon it's going to be two of these creatures running around!

"Our hands will be full of non-stop action."
