Chatting with the magazine, the Grammy award-winning singer spills on what it’s like be a woman in love and living her joy. This is the life the 30-year-old has always envisioned since she was a teenager. 
Ciara, who looked stunning  a floral print corset top and flared pants, recalls telling her friends in high school about how she would gain international fame through singing. “I made a goal sheet,and on that list was also the dream of selling “3 to 4 million” records and “have longevity.” By 21, she had reached her goals.

 Motherhood and family:
“I’d always wanted to have my own family,” she said. “And my pregnancy was planned when I was at a point in my life when I was finally ready to take on the responsibility.” The birth of Future on May 19th, 2014, materialized Ciara’s dream of being a mother.
On her split from Future:
“That wasn’t necessarily part of my vision,” she recalls. “But the moment I realized I was going to be a single mother, I had to reflect and reorganize my thoughts. I decided to trust that God had a plan for me, and move forward one day at a time.”

On her fiance, Russell Wilson:
Not up to a year after her breakup, Ciara announced her relationship with Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, who she got engaged to recently during a romantic trip to Seychelles. “I remember telling my friend the kind of guy I wanted: a God-fearing man with a very fun spirit who loves kids and would really, truly care for me. I was very specific because I do believe you can have it all.”
