In the original interview with Women’s Health, Ciara dished on what helped her become the wife and mom that she is today. “I told myself I’ve got to figure out how to navigate in the next chapter of my life,” she told the magazine. The 37-year-old star says she was ready for a drastic change in her life.
“All the things I was aspiring to have at that time, even thinking about love… I was like, It’s going to happen when it’s supposed to. But I can’t love anybody to the best of my ability if I’m not loving on myself. I can’t be the best mom if I’m not loving on myself. So I put more focus on me, taking care of me; it was the best thing I could have done.”
Since splitting from Future in 2014, Ciara has gone on to “Level Up” in several different ways. She shared how self-care played a role in her now-upgraded life. “It’s knowing what gives you a release, knowing what gives you joy. Go to that.”
As for Future, the “Wait For You” rapper still has his fair share of relationship issues. He is currently he’s being sued by his ex, Brittni Mealy, over a child support dispute. But that hasn’t stopped the Atlanta rapper from owning his self-proclaimed “Toxic King” title.
