‘Body Party’ beauty Ciara shows off her baby bump like never before in the newest W Magazine issue.
8 months pregnant at the time of the Carlos Serrao-helmed photo shoot, the songstress dished on life with fiance/rapper Future, her “big” expectation of motherhood, and, of course, new music.
Sure to send the C-squad into a frenzy upon learning that new music is due from the mom-to-be “very soon” (and she says it’s her “best yet”), tuck in below for photos and excerpts from the interview:
On rapper Future:
“Music is a place where we have a very strong connection,” says Ciara. “We created ‘Body Party’, and that song created something else—and that’s why we’re here,” she joked, touching her stomach.
On encouraging her child to become an entertainer:
“If that’s what their heart yearns for, then I’m down. I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be—as long as they want to be something great.”

“Ciara’s Great Expectations”
The pregnant pop star is ready for her close up.

-On an April afternoon in a chilly L.A. photo studio, the Grammy-winning pop star Ciara steps out of her dressing room in an architectural crop top. She is eight months pregnant—and ready to have her picture taken. “People are going to be like, ‘What are you doing?’” she says, gesturing at what her fiancé, the rapper Future, has taken to calling the “growing basketball” in their lives. “It feels good to not have to wonder whether your abs are tight enough,” she says. “I like not being so perfect.”
This seems debatable. The 28-year-old singer’s belly is the only part of her to have noticeably swelled. Her hips, with a gray Margiela sweater wrapped modestly around them, remain slim. Even sans glamazon hair, body makeup, and professional styling (after the shoot, she changes into an off-duty ensemble featuring baggy ripped jeans courtesy of her fiancé’s closet), she still looks the part of a superstar.
“This is one of those moments you can’t repeat.”
Despite the fact that she has always been more private than her contemporaries—think of Rihanna’s pot-fueled Instagram antics or Beyonce’s self-directed HBO documentary about her own pregnancy—Ciara has been very public about her pregnancy. She made the announcement with Barbara Walters on “The View”; celebrated at a blue-and-white themed baby shower at which both Kim Kardashian and the paparazzi were in attendance; and has posted countless Instagram shots that have generated “like” counts in the six figures. “My mom and I don’t have a lot of photos of my early years,” she explains. “So I decided we should document everything. This is one of those moments you can’t repeat.”
Still, in a world where n*** baby bumps regularly appear on tabloid covers, Ciara’s pregnant press tour has been comparatively understated. She says a close friend is designing her baby bag, for example, but refuses to drop a name. (An educated guess would be Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci, who claims her as a muse, or Pucci’s Peter Dundas, who dressed her for the 2014 Grammy awards.)
Her 30-year-old fiancé is more demonstrative. Future, née Nayvadius D. Wilburn (Ciara has an “N” tattooed on her left ring finger, mostly covered by a 15-carat diamond engagement ring), professed his love in the song “I Won,” a collaboration with Kanye West about their respective “trophy wives.” (“Now that ass gettin’ fatter and I know it’s because of me,” Future raps, to which Yeezy responds, “I wanna dip that ass in gold, I wanna dip that ass in gold.”) “Music is a place where we have a very strong connection,” says Ciara, who met her man while guesting on his album. “We created ‘Body Party’, and that song created something else—and that’s why we’re here,” she joked, touching her stomach.
“I consider myself superwoman.”
Despite her early success—Ciara’s first album, 2004’s Goodies, which featured collaborations with Missy Elliott, Petey Pablo, and Ludacris, was released shortly after her high school graduation—she doesn’t know if she wants the same for her children. “It’s a really hard world,” she says. But, she’s quick to add, “If that’s what their heart yearns for, then I’m down. I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be—as long as they want to be something great.”
That piece of parenting wisdom, she says, comes courtesy of Kardashian, with whom she’s traded tips on “everything from breastfeeding to how a stroller works.”
“You don’t know your child until they get here, you don’t know their personality,” Ciara says. “There is a lot of learning to do. I loved that advice.”
As for her own future in music, she has no hesitations. Her upcoming album (due “really soon”) is, she claims, her best yet. “I will go on record saying so,” she says. And following the birth of her son, she plans to get back into shape fast. “As soon as the body says hit the gym, I’m gonna hit the gym. I’ve been having a lot of food fun.” After that, she’ll start planning her wedding. It’s a lot, she admits, but she’s sure she’s ready. “I don’t want to sound too cocky,” Ciara says. “But I consider myself superwoman.”
Soo happy for Ciara!!! Congrats gworrl! Just about every pregnant celeb does a photo shoot like this to document an amazing moment like this! Still puzzling to me why a certain someone never did a cover/spread like this, but “put on” and made an announcement at an awards show… Oh I know why she didn’t lol…and I think you know y too!
We ALL know how she loves the attention(…see VMAs pregnancy announcement)!
Wishing you nothing but happiness Ciara!
DEATH
Oh yeah! While carrying a child for 9 mos you bond w it in a special way!
Only mothers who actually are pregnant n don’t use surrogates are blessed w this bonding experience!
Kiiiiii best wishes to ” The Famous” Ciara!!!!!
they called her a t***** and a man. when she got pregnant folks said they need a bump pic to believe it now heres the baby bump losers!!!! lets go find beyonces baby bump, is she really all woman like they claim??? she faked a whole pregnanncy smh
Kiiii
Omg she looks fab.
She looks great preggo. Pregnacy suits her.
So cute! 😀
OMG! effortless flawless
she’s having twins mark my words
She looks gorgeous.
Ciara was always a pretty girl (maybe apart from her debut, that was a mess, lol) but now she’s just a knockout! It’s kinda tear-jerking to see that the 18 year old girl who was singing about keeping them Goodies in the jar is going to be a Mom and a wife soon. I’m so happy to see her more believe in herself more. I just hope this confidence translates into her music because she’s been knocked down a lot but her talent and drive should keep her moving forward. As for the pics, her IG posts to me, are nicer but she looks so beautiful pregnant it doesn’t matter. My fav pic is the Black & White one where she’s sitting down.
No lies!!!!
Ciara looks amazing! I’m so happy for her! I hope she delivers a healthy baby and makes a strong return to music!
Slayed!!! My queen is gorgeous an I am so excited for the new album! Baby boy wilburn will probly be a Taurus!!!
She looks so beautiful.
Looks like a fat Kim Kardashian!
STUNNING PHOTOS.
AND SHE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THE LATEST ELIMINATED DRAG QUEEN ON DRAG RACE LIKE THAT T***** ON TIME MAGAZINE LOL
Very Beautiful! Good Luck on your delivery
She is giving me Kim K in these pics. Better than Mariah’s pregnancy pics. Those veins and stretch marks were not cute to see. She looked like she was about to die. Gross.
I’m so proud of and happy for her!!!! Plus, the fact she’s having a little boy is so cute. Boys always protect their Mothers. Congratulations Ciara. You look amazing sweetheart.
They don’t always this aint fairy land bish.
Lmao her face is a mess in some of these pics. And why is she trying to be Kim K
Good way of explaining, and fastidious paragraph to obtain facts on the topic of my presentation topic, which i am going to present
in school.
He said he will soon visit them with guarantees of Russian-language rights and proposals for decentralization, that will give their regions a bigger say in running their own affairs.
