Wilson shared his grief on Instagram, posting a four-part carousel of Prince's photos.
"You will forever be a part of us," the NFL quarterback wrote. "Today was a hard day. But you overcame cancer 2x and lived 12 years when most live 6. Heaven got a good one! Forever the Prince of Peace."
Russell Wilson and Kobe Bryant families bond beyond the basketball court and football field
The connection between the Wilsons and Bryants runs deep. Ciara and Russell Wilson have maintained close ties with Kobe's family through shared celebrations and everyday moments.
Recent months paint a picture of their friendship. Vanessa Bryant and Ciara enjoyed a special "boo" date at Disneyland in late 2024. During the holiday season, Vanessa gifted Russell Wilson with Kobe Christmas shoes.
Natalia's growth into young adulthood hasn't gone unnoticed. She mirrors her mother Vanessa's features and has developed her distinctive presence. Her social media captures various facets of her personality, from her characteristic smile to smooth dance moves while enjoying Fleetwood Mac and elegant appearances in eye-catching attire like her fire-red dress.
The birthday celebration drew multiple tributes, with Wilson adding his message to the Instagram post.
