It seems every time Russell Wilson posts about his stepson Future Jr., he gets into trouble with fans of Future Sr., and his recent post isn’t any different.
Fans seem to be weary of Russell Wilson’s intentions and super dad persona after a photograph of the Steelers player, his stepson Future Jr., and his only biological son Win started circulating on social media.
In a recent Instagram post capturing the Russell and Ciara family, the football star proudly celebrated his two boys who can be seen dressed in matching Pittsburgh Pirates jerseys, the same colors as Wilson’s team.
It appears the trio went to a game, with many suggesting that Ciara’s husband was being petty and subtly taking jabs at her ex, rapper Future.
He affectionately praised the boys’ athleticism, showcasing the strong rapport between them.

He captioned the post, in which he tagged his wife Ciara,
“My Two Boys are Ballers! Future hit 3 Homers Today & Win & him had a blast at Picture Day! Thankfully, I get to raise and teach them how to be boys and become men. God is good!”
Ciara then replied in the comments section with three heart-hand emojis.
Fans of the couple praised Wilson for how good of a man he is and for being an active parent in young Future’s life.
As stories travel faster on social media, the image was shared on other platforms.
The comments on his post were both positive and supportive, while others suggested otherwise.
However, many criticized those who failed to appreciate the profound bond he shares with his wife’s son by treating him as his own.
Future and Ciara dated in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and broke up for good in 2014 after their son was born.
It has been over ten years since Ciara and Future broke up but the rapper has been vocal about how he feels about Russell and his son’s relationship.
He has publicly criticized his son’s mother and Wilson in multiple interviews and songs.
The rapper even slammed Wilson on his new track, Turn Yo Clic Up, a collaboration with Quavo. “I got it out the field/FF—k Russell,” Future rapped.
His callout did not get the response he thought it would, with people saying, “Imagine disrespecting the man that’s raising your son.”
Even though some people think Wilson’s parenting style is him trying to make Future mad, he believes he is merely doing God’s work.
When he appeared on the I Am Athlete podcast, he told Brandon Marshall that, the first time he met little Future, God told him that he was going to assume “responsibility” for the then-toddler.
