Russell asked his first wife, who he first started dating in 2006, to marry him two months after his dad died due to diabetes complications at 55. Russell and his dad were very close and his death has left a long lasting impact to this day. (Worth mentioning: Russell was a bully in high school, and he has publicly stated this before). His father's death probably changed Wilson - went soft and married his girlfriend. She happily accepted of course, but how much did this affect Wilson in his relationship/marriage?
Golden Tate, former WR teammate of his from 2012-2013 was rumoured to be fucking Wilson first wife back in 2013. Wilson and his wife divorced April 2014, a month after Tate signed with the Detroit Lions.
Tate's girlfriend (now fiancée -September 2015) and Wilson's first wife are both blonde white girls, and the four are allegedly good friends.
There was a race issue on this team in 2014 when the locker room was divided on Wilson. Percy Harvin, who was supported by Lynch, was vocal against Wilsons blackness, and thus divisiveness lead to his abrupt trade in the middle of the 2014 season.
Russel Wilson, the devoted Christian follower, is likely knee deep in guilt and this marriage to Ciara is to atone for his past sins, as is his dedication to charity work - it's his attempt to satisfy everyone from God, his deceased father, his peers in the NFL - in order to live up to everyone's expectations, a high standard set for him by those that he aims to please. Everything good or bad that happens to Wilson is because of God and his angelic father - the Super Bowl interception being one such event. His Christian faith and all the guilt that comes with it are a huge factor that makes Wilson fulfill his role as the good Christian QB from Virginia.
