Ciara, who turned 31 Tuesday, posted that she is “excited to Finally share one of the Greatest Gifts of All that God could give.”

In his social media post, Mr. Wilson called the baby “The Greatest Blessing of All.”

This is the first child for 27-year-old Wilson. Ciara has a 2-year-old son from a previous relationship with rapper Future.
