Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson are settling into a “new chapter” after moving their family to Denver.
The NFL quarterback was traded to the Broncos in the off-season, and despite the move happening towards the end of the school year, the kids were quick to adjust to her new life in the Mile High City.
Ciara Says Kids Have ‘Been Doing Good’ In Denver After Russell Wilson Signs With Broncos
“So far, Denver’s been incredible,” the 36-year-old tells PEOPLE. The family was previously living in Seattle.
“They’ve been doing good. When we told them the news, everything was like, ‘Yeah! New team. Yeah! New school. Yeah!’ I don’t know if they really realize what’s going on sometimes. They’re excited about the new chapter.”
The pair, who began dating in early 2015 and married a little over a year later in July 2016, shared two kids together, daughter Sienna Princess, 5, and son Win Harrison, 1.
The singer also has a son, Future Zahar, 8, from her previous relationship with rapper Future.
The new horizons in Colorado offer plenty of new opportunities for her kids to be outside, something the mom of three says she is excited about.
“The kids have already had their first ski experience,” Ciara says.
“Future really rolled. Sienna taps out at a certain time. She’s like, ‘OK, this has been fun. I’m ready to go play with my Barbies.’ She’s a gymnastics girl too, so I think she’s a little athlete. We haven’t gone in a little while, so I’d love to see how she is now. Win hasn’t hit the snow yet.”
And while her kids have adored their new space, adjusting to the Rockies hasn’t been as easy for the singer.
“For me in my mind, I was in my head a little bit,” she laughs.

“So day one, I was like, ‘Oh, skiing is the best thing ever.’ Day two, I start overthinking my turns, and the lady would tell me, ‘Look where you want your skis to go.’ I think that’s what she was saying. I think I’m going to definitely become more of an outdoorsy girl.”
And as the kids have quickly adjusted to their new home, she is able to experience the outdoors in a way she hadn’t yet in Seattle…
“So far, I’ve encountered a snake,” the singer says. “We have geese on the lawn that I’m chasing off because I don’t like the geese poop because my babies have to run around. Russ has a video of me chasing a goose — ‘Ahh!’ I’m running like that. So I’m in that space now. It’s moth season. I’m like, ‘What is the other outdoors thing?’ Literally, we open our door, and a handful of moths fall down. But there are all these little things. I’m inspired being there, honestly.”
