Russell Wilson, Ciara Send ‘Proud’ Message to Kobe Bryant’s Daughter

The Pittsburgh Steelers playoff journey came to an abrupt following their 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round.

Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 69% of his passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns in what turned out the be Pittsburgh’s fifth-consecutive loss. Wilson, who signed a one-year contract with the Steelers, is set to become a free agent this season.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was non-committal on the former Super Bowl champ returning to Pittsburgh. “We don’t have a quarterback under contract and so we’ve got some major discussions there,” Tomlin told reporters.

“The major work, obviously, starts first and foremost just understanding what our options are, what the field looks like in terms of free agency, what the draft pool looks like and then beginning the process in terms of decision-making based on known variables.”

While it’s unclear what the future holds for Wilson, the 36-year-old quarterback and his wife, Ciara, had a lot to celebrate during the divisional round, as it was Natalia Bryant’s birthday. Natalia is the eldest daughter of the late NBA legend, Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa Bryant.

The “1,2 Step” singer is best friends with Vanessa, and she sent a sweet message to Natalia her 22nd birthday.

Natalia is a model and film student at USC. She has three sisters, Bianka, Capri, and Gianna, the latter of whom died in the helicopter crash that took her father’s life in 2020.
