Russell Wilson opens up about the secret sauce to juggling football, wife Ciara and four kids

Russell Wilson has always been looked upon for his ability to play at a high level in the NFL while also being a loving father to his four children. But how does he do all of this?

In a recent interview with ESPN, Wilson was asked about the secret sauce to his balancing act, and he started by saying that it was always difficult. But the secret was to know one's priorities because there are only so many things one can do in 24 hours.

"Balance is always tricky," Wilson said. "I think the best thing is priorities, you know? I think just putting God first in it all, and knowing that he's blessed us with so much opportunity. There's highs and lows and all that as you're going through football and music and life and all that together."

Wilson added that they were getting to do what they loved for a living and this has made things easier for them. Wilson didn't delve deeper into how he managed to take time out for his children. But considering that he's been pushing Ciara for a fifth, Russell Wilson has the energy and time to take care of a new addition to the Wilson family.

Russell Wilson pushes for fifth child after Ciara posts picture on social media

Ciara Wilson took to Instagram to post a picture of her donning an all-black dress girdled by a belt with a golden lion head. Fans flooded the comments section with comments expressing awe. But one comment stood out. It was from her husband, Russell Wilson.

"I'm ready when you are. We can call him Cinco," he wrote on her post.

However, there's been some pushback from Ciara. Appearing on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," she made it clear that she wasn't ready to expand her family to seven and that four kids were already a handful.

"Well, you might have heard Russ say that. No! No, honestly, I do think at some point, I can make it to five," Ciara said, but clarified that now isn’t the right time."

We don't know if that'll become a reality any time soon. For now, the Pittsburgh Steelers QB is focused on football and leading his team to securing more wins and, potentially, winning the Super Bowl. If that happened, it would make them the team with the most number of Super Bowl wins.
