Ciara enjoys playing matchmaker by setting her friends up on dates.
The 40-year-old singer and her husband Russell Wilson are keen to help their pals « find love » and they are responsible for two engagements so far after successfully matching Fifth Harmony’s Normani with NFL star DK Metcalf and helping singer/actress Coco Jones settle down with basketball player Donovan Mitchell.
Ciara told PEOPLE: « We get excited when we get to help our friends find love, and it brings us joy … It’s kind of a fun game for us at this point, but it makes us happy when people can experience love. So yes, any chance we get, we’re going to do it. »
Football star Wilson added: « We believe in love, and whenever we can set people up, it’s always the best. »
The couple introduced Normani and DK Metcalf and they were thrilled when the pair got engaged in March 2025.
Ciara and Russell found out the happy news in a FaceTime call and the singer shared a screenshot on Instagram showing the couple’s reaction. She captioned the snap: « [Russell] and I knew when we introed yall [sic] 3 yrs ago … Love was truly in the air!
« Now yall gon be booed up for forever [sic]!! This was the best news … we love yall so much! »
Normani previously revealed Ciara set her up with Metcalf by making sure she attended a party which was going to be attended by the sportsman.
In an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, she explained: « We actually met through Ciara and Russ … She was serious … [She] kept texting me. She had like an alcohol brand she was releasing but she was really adamant about me coming [to this party] … very adamant …
« I just knew it was something else because she was just very adamant, and when I was on the way, she was like: ‘Oh yeah, your boy’s gonna be there’.
« And I said: ‘Ok I see what you’re trying to do here’. And they did the same to him. Once he was already there. It was playing Cupid. But it worked. »
The couple got together in 2022 and announced their engagement a year later in 2023.
