All said and done, Russell Wilson must be a happy man with Curry’s gesture. While things on the field haven’t clicked for the Broncos QB, Wilson has been a thorough family man. Despite Future Jr being his stepson, Wilson has always treated him like his son and maintained a very intimate bond.

Russell Wilson has three kids with wife Ciara. 9 year old Zahir meanwhile is Ciara’s son with rapper Future. Zahir was a toddler when Ciara met Wilson. However since then, the Broncos QB has taken care of Zahir like his own son. The QB in 2019, per NickiSwift, admitted that it’s been a really insightful journey on love for him as he raised his step son along with his daughters. The former Seattle player revealed that raising Zahir unconditionally taught him what love is.
“The thing that I’ve learned the most is that being a stepdad and then also having our little daughter as well, being a stepdad, you really find out what love’s like. It’s easy to love somebody that’s blood and everything else, but when you can love somebody just like it’s your own child and everything else, that’s what real love is like,” Wilson had said.
Moreover, Russell Wilson has always kept Zahir in a sporting environment. The 9 year old is regularly seen playing football and doing tackling drills on Wilson’s Instagram. With Zahir’s two father figures being pioneers in rapping and football, safe to say, Zahir can turn out to be a future superstar in the coming years.
