New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson couldn’t hide his pride as his wife, Grammy-winning singer Ciara, made history by becoming the first person to receive Beninese citizenship under a groundbreaking new law in West Africa.

"He's been texting me 24/7, calling me," Jalin Hyatt said of Russell Wilson. "We've been working [together] 24/7 and I didn't really have that from the quarterback. Just proud that he's here."
