Ciara is officially a mom of four! The singer, who was featured on the cover of the 2022 SI Swimsuit Issue, just welcomed her third child with her husband, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, Amora Princess. The model and NFL player are already parents to Sienna Princess and Win Harrison, and Ciara, who turned 38 last month, shares one son, Future Zahir, with her ex-fiancée, rapper Future.

In honor of the exciting occasion, we are throwing it back to the “How We Roll” artist’s magazine feature with photographer Ben Watts in Barbados.

The Texas-born Grammy Award-winner spent the bulk of her childhood on Army bases across the country until her family settled in Atlanta when Ciara was a teenager.

The skincare entrepreneur revealed to 2019 cover girl Camille Kostek during last year’s magazine launch party that she dreamed of being on the front of the issue as a little girl. She added that joining fellow legends like Tyra Banks, whom she always looked up to, was a super rewarding feeling.

“It’s really, really incredible because I remember looking at this magazine when I was younger and I remember dreaming and saying, ‘Maybe I could be on the cover one day. Maybe that could be me,’” she shared. “And so to see that happen literally like almost 18 years later and to have that vision and to say, ‘Hey, maybe one day I can do this’ and it happens is so powerful. It’s so meaningful. It gives me that energy to just literally not stop. To keep on believing in my dream and my vision and the things that I wanna do.”

Below are six marvelous photos from her 2022 cover photoshoot in Barbados.
