Remember the mid-2000s? When Bow Wow and Ciara were the hottest duo in music and in love? The rapper, now 38, took a fun stroll down memory lane in an interview with Billboard, talking about their romance back in 2005. That year marked the release of his fourth album Wanted and their smashing collaboration "Like You." Bow Wow didn’t hold back, calling Ciara "the hottest star in music at the time." He said, "She was about to be certified triple-platinum on her first album, Goodies." The chemistry was real — "It just made so much sense at that time in the moment of my life when we were together to record that song," he shared. Bow Wow, once crowned "the youngest, hottest cat in the game," found his perfect match in Ciara, "the youngest, hottest female in the game." They were dating and their worlds clicked. Their track "Like You," produced by Jermaine Dupri, soared to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. Bow Wow says, "It was the perfect marriage for that record, and nobody else could have sung that hook and did that verse like how she delivered on that record." Since then, they have moved on, but fans still cherish their magical musical moment. Bow Wow is now a proud father of two daughters, Shai (born 2011) and Stone Gemariah (2020). Ciara’s story shines bright with NFL superstar Russell Wilson. Married since 2016, they have three children, including their newest daughter Amora, born in December 2023. Ciara also shares son Future, 11, with ex-fiancé Future. The family once lived in Bellevue, Washington, during Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks days. They sold their home there for a whopping $36 million in April 2022. That same year, Ciara and Wilson bought a $25 million mansion in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado — making it Denver’s most expensive home sale ever! Wilson also has a property in sunny San Diego. Beyond music and family, the power couple authored a children’s book titled Why Not You? in 2022, which hit the New York Times bestseller list and earned praise from the School Library Journal. What a journey for these stars from music hits to family bliss and big dreams!
