"Yeah, that's exciting for them, man. Obviously, a big believer in love, so I'm excited for them," he replied.

Wilson has been married to Ciara, the Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, and dancer, since their secret ceremony in July 2016. This came after Wilson proposed to her in March of that year, waiting until the offseason to ask for her hand in marriage.
Since then, Wilson and Ciara share three children together – daughters Sienna and Amora, and son Win – while also caring for Ciara’s eldest son, Future, who is from a previous relationship with rapper, Future.
