Russell Wilson and wife Ciara spent date night at the ESPYs

Russell Wilson and Ciara took the opportunity to use a trip to the ESPY Awards as a date night. In a post on Instagram, the 36-year-old shared a glimpse of their arrival on the red carpet at the awards ceremony. Wilson chose a blue suede jacket that he paired with black pants. Ciara chose a tan gown that featured rhinestones for an extra shine.

In the post, Wilson shared a photo of Ciara on stage as she presented the Jimmy V Perseverance Award to Penn State University's Women's Volleyball coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley. He captioned it:

"Night at the #ESPYS with my baby @ciara ❤️‍🔥"

The quarterback is adjusting to a new offense with the New York Giants. Heading into his 14th season in the National Football League, Wilson is playing for his fourth team, his third since 2022.

In 11 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, Wilson had a 63.7 completion percentage while throwing for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Wilson now looks to help a New York Giants team that struggled last season with a 3-14 record.
