When Russell Wilson suits up for the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner Saturday night, he won’t be rolling solo.
The Seattle Seahawks QB is reportedly taking pop princess Ciara as his plus-one, after AOL released a partial guest list for the upcoming event.
While this outing will mark the pair’s first appearance as a “couple,” the divorced Wilson and the chart-topping beauty have been linked before. Just last weekend, the aspiring MLB pro took in a Seattle Mariners game with a mystery date.
This isn’t Ciara’s first dip in the athlete dating pool. In between her failed romances with rappers Bow Wow, Future and 50 Cent, the “1, 2 Step” songstress was with former New York Knick Amar’e Stoudemire for a time around 2011.
As for Wilson, he’s probably relieved Stoudemire isn’t in the same organization — and plays an entirely different sport. Considering the scandal that erupted earlier this year around the signal-caller over former teammate Golden Tate’s alleged affair with Wilson’s ex-wife Ashton Meem, the Super Bowl champ is opting for a drama-free relationship this offseason.
