Ciara has officially joined the 40 club — and she’s entering the new decade with gratitude, confidence, and a renewed focus on personal growth. The Grammy-winning singer opened up to Entertainment Tonight about her mindset as she steps into this new chapter, emphasizing that she’s not caught up in the number itself.
“I think you really do get better with time,” Ciara shared. “Sometimes numbers can throw you off and make you wonder what they mean, but honestly, life feels like it’s just beginning — or still early.”
With that positive outlook, the “Level Up” star revealed that her main goal is to continue growing in every area of her life. “I just want to live life to the fullest — as a mom, a wife, and through my businesses,” she said. “I hope I keep leveling up. That’s the overall goal.”
Ciara turned 40 on October 25 and celebrated the milestone with a surprise party thrown by her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson. Although she admits she’s usually not a fan of surprises, she made an exception for her man.
“Honestly, I don’t like surprises like that,” she laughed. “But I do like his surprises. When he’s planning something I don’t know about, I trust it. I let him play QB.”
After the celebration, Ciara took to Instagram to share her appreciation, posting photos from the event along with a heartfelt message to Wilson.
“Baby, thank you for always making me feel on top of the world and for throwing the best surprise birthday party!” she wrote. “You always make every moment for me — big or small — feel special and important. You are the best! I love you soooooo much @DangeRussWilson.”
