New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara, are everywhere this offseason. Just one day after appearing on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon" in New York City, the Super Bowl champ and Ciara jetted off to Los Angeles for the 2025 ESPY Awards.

While speaking to Fallon, Wilson revealed he surprised his eldest daughter, Sienna Princess, 8, with a call from actress Cynthia Erivo during her "Wicked"-themed birthday party.

“She’s awesome, because she had no problem hopping on the FaceTime,” Wilson said of Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the movie version of the hit musical.

"Ciara and her are really, really close. It was cool, ’cause Sienna was like, ‘Um, can you sing to me now?’ And she just hopped right into song. It was a good birthday, for sure,” Wilson added.

The 36-year-old quarterback and Ciara share four children together including Future Zahir, 10, Ciara's son from a previous relationship, Win Harrison, 4, and Amora Princess, 1.

However, Wilson and the "1,2 Step" singer, kept the ESPY Awards a kid-free event at the Dolby Theatre on Wednesday night.

While the Giants star rocked a navy suit jacket with a black button-down, Ciara stunned in a floor-length sparkly dress.
