The Texas-born singer, 36, captioned a series of shots, ‘That Proud Feeling,’ with an emoji of a trophy as she tagged Wilson, 33, into the post with the hashtags, #BartStarrAward and #Family.
The Grammy-winning songstress shared a clip on the site of the Seattle Seahawks quarterback as he was joined by his family as he received the trophy at the event.
In the clip, Ciara, daughter, Sienna, four, son Win Harrison, one, and son Future Zahir, seven (who she shares with rapper Future), accompanied him onto the stage.
In Wilson’s acceptance speech, he thanked his family and mentioned the virtues he associated with each. He said that he emphasizes leadership to Future every day, lauded Sienna for her ‘amazing vision,’ and Win for his discernment and decisiveness.
‘And then Ciara, you represent patience,’ he said. ‘From the moment I met you, you’ve been patient – so patient with other people … you make everybody’s heart melt, and you made my heart melt, and you represent patience to me, and I love you for that.’
At the proceedings, the Level Up artist looked elegant in a floor-length white gown with feathered detailing on the sleeves, with her locks sleekly pulled back and parted.
Wilson, who led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win in 2014, was clad in a navy blue pinstriped suit with a white button-up shirt and blue tie.
Wilson was awarded with the Bart Starr Award, which honors players who showed the most leadership and character both on-and-off the field, and in their work in the community.
The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback has been involved in multiple charitable causes, including the Why Not You Foundation and the Why Not You Academy, a Des Moines, Washington high school which aims to eradicate poverty through expanded education.
Wilson said of the educational nonprofits, which he started with Ciara, ‘It’s been a joy to build something special that’s meaningful for other people.’
Wilson has also been involved with medical charities including Immuno Heroes, a campaign through the Why Not You Foundation to benefit Seattle Children’s Therapeutics, and assisted fundraising efforts that amassed more than $10 million for the campaign Strong Against Cancer.
‘Every time we go to Seattle Children’s Hospital, we pray for a miracle,’ Wilson said.
