Russell Wilson spent some quality time with his bonus son, Future Zahir, during the 73rd NBA All-Star Game on February 18, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Russell , who shares Future with wife Ciara, was the epitome of a doting dad as he intoduced the 9-year-old to some famous faces.
The highlight of Future Zahir’s weekend, however, was when he received a personalized shooting lesson from NBA legend Steph Curry.
Captured in a heartwarming video by the Golden State Warriors, Curry gave the young lad a personalized shooting lesson. Who better to learn from than one of the best shooters in the game?
With Curry’s guidance, Future Zahir improved his shooting skills—a memory that surely made this NBA All-Star weekend unforgettable for the budding sports enthusiast.
While basketball was the focus this past weekend, football also holds a special place in Future Zahir’s heart, something his stepdad, Russell Wilson, knows well.
Wilson, a star quarterback for the Denver Broncos, enjoys sharing his love for the game with his bonus son, whether it’s coaching him on the field or cheering him on from the sidelines.
For Wilson, being a stepfather to Future Zahir holds profound meaning. In a candid interview with AM2DM by BuzzFeed News back in 2019, Wilson opened up about the unique bond.
“Being a stepdad, you really find out what love’s like,” he told AM2DM by BuzzFeed News in 2019. “It’s interesting. It’s easy to love somebody that’s blood and everything else, but when you can love somebody just like it’s your own child and everything else, that’s what real love is like.”
Future Zahir Wilburn is Ciara’s eldest child, born in May 2014 during her previous relationship with rapper Future.
After parting ways with Future, Ciara found love with Russell Wilson, tying the knot in 2016. Their family expanded a year later with the arrival of their eldest daughter, Sienna Princess, followed by son Win Harrison in 2020 and daughter Amora Princess in December 2023.
