Russell Wilson surprised the love of his life with some flowers, then subtly took a shot at his critics. In a video he posted on Instagram on Friday, the Denver Broncos quarterback showed the romantic gesture he displayed for Ciara.
The memorable evening began when Wilson randomly showed up to an event Ciara was attending on Friday night. Ciara, who never expected to see her husband at that moment, leaped into Wilson’s arms after he came up behind her and presented a giant bouquet of flowers with an assortment of colors.
“Oh My Goodness,” Ciara said, holding on to her husband as she was surrounded by loved ones who were recording the moment. “What the heck? What are you doing here? Oh my God. Babe. Oh my Goodness.”
The couple continued to express their love for each other before posing together for pictures. When he later posted the video of the romantic evening, Wilson appeared to be sending a message to critics such as Channing Crowder, the former Miami Dolphins linebacker who fired up a rant during a podcast earlier this year and described the NFL star as a “f**king square.”
“Stay Squared Up my friends,” Wilson wrote on Instagram.
According to the New York Post, Crowder launched the insults during an episode of The Pivot podcast in April.
“If Russell didn’t have that bread Ciara wouldn’t be with him,” Crowder said. “Ciara, she has a good situation. You don’t leave [her ex-fiancée, rapper] Future and get with Russell Wilson. It’s a type. Everybody has a type… and I love him on the field but he’s f**king square.”

Crowder continued to bash the star athlete when he appeared on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday.
“Have ya’ll seen Russell’s videos?” Crowder said. “Have you seen ‘Mr. Unlimited?’ And, this goofy s**t he does? I don’t know why so many people were mad at my opinion of Russell Wilson is a square and a lame. I didn’t call him an alcoholic. I didn’t call him a deadbeat dad. I didn’t call him a pedophile. I called him lame.”

Crowder, however, apologized for making comments about Ciara.
“Bringing up Ciara, bringing up the man’s family, I’ll take that back,” he said.
