Ciara Says She's Open to More Children with Husband Russell Wilson but ‘Needs a Little Time’ (Exclusive)

The Grammy-winning artist is mom to four kids — sons Future and Win and daughters Sienna and Amora

Ciara is open to expanding her family with husband Russell Wilson.

The "1, 2 Step" singer, 39, spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about motherhood at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala presented by Paul Mitchell in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 9, and how her four kids keep her very busy.

"Oh my gosh, it is turned up. I have a kid on every corner," she jokes. "Oh my Lord, pray for me sometimes."

The Grammy-winning singer then revealed that despite the current chaos, she is open to having a fifth baby — just not right away. "Russ keeps walking around going like this, like, 'Cinco.' And I'm like, 'High five, I love you too,' " Ciara says, adding, "I mean, listen, I think we'll make it to five, but this mom needs a little time. Just a little bit."
