“My obstetrician, who’s delivered all my babies, was not playing any games about this COVID,” Ciara says. “I literally made my first push with Win and then he was like, ‘She needs a mask on. Get a mask on.’ It happened so fast, so I still had my mask [down].”
“But he was like, ‘Oh, no, no. She gon’ put that mask on.’ My mask was pretty good. I could still breathe all right through it, so that was good,” she continues. “But it was like, ‘Wow. This is crazy. I’m having to deliver a baby with a mask. What in the world?’”
COVID-19 has truly tested many couples. Fortunately, Ciara and Wilson have passed with flying colours, thanks to one very important rule: Communicate.

“Oh, my gosh, communication, communication, communication. I do believe the greatest challenge is being able to simply communicate,” Ciara shares. “If we had any challenges with anything, whenever we do, we go to communication.”
“I think that’s a game-changer because we’re able to get back to ground zero pretty easily because we’re aligned in the ways that we think about things and approach things,” the singer adds.
