There has been speculation for days that Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, the singer Ciara, are about to have a child. Wilson confirmed that speculation via his Instagram account late Tuesday evening (PT).

The Greatest Blessing of All. Forever Grateful. #BabyWilsonOnTheWay

Wilson called the impending birth of Baby Wilson, "The Greatest Blessing of All," and noted that he and Caira are, "Forever Grateful." Wilson and Ciara, of course, famously abstained from sex prior to their marriage earlier this year. Wilson, who is openly a very religious person, had stated that God spoke to him and told him to abstain prior to marriage. Now married, the pair have created new life.

This will be Wilson's first child while Ciara has a son with her former boyfriend, the rapper Future.
