Ciara has to work "extra hard" to push her abdominal muscles back together after giving birth.

The 32-year-old singer welcomed her second child Sienna into the world 11 months ago and, although she’s managed to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight, she has to train her core extra hard because she’s been left with a baby pooch, which is known medically as Diastasis recti where the abdominal muscles part down the middle and leave a slight bulge after birth.

Taking to her Instagram account, the brunette beauty uploaded a photograph of her toned tummy and captioned it: "I have Diastastis Recti from both of my pregnancies, so I have to work extra hard to regain my core strength. Determined. Let’s Go Mammas! [sic]"

As soon as she gave birth to Sienna last April, the ‘I Bet’ hitmaker made it her mission to lose the 60lbs she gained during her pregnancy and after just one month she’d already shed 20lbs.

Captioning a photograph of her scales reading 178.6lbs, she wrote: "I said I wasn’t going to gain 60lbs Carrying Sienna, and… I did exactly that!! … 4 weeks after her birth I lost 20 lbs. This Weeks Goal is 10lbs. I was 183 yesterday. #BounceBack #LevelUp [sic]"

Ciara fell for Sienna less than a year after she and her husband Russell Wilson – who had agreed not to have sex until after they were husband and wife – got married in July 2016.

Speaking about their decision to wait, Ciara said "I really believe that when you focus on a friendship, you have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for a relationship – and once you know you’re really great friends and you’re what we call ‘equally yoked,’ where you share the same values or the same outlook on life, it kind of sets the tone. Knowing that you’ll always have the friendship and that you can always go back to it is very important, and very powerful.

"I have to give credit to my husband for sharing those views. It’s awesome how it all worked out. We women think with our hearts and with our minds. When we see a guy, we envision what he’s like and whether this could be something special. Guys see us from an exterior point of view – that’s something I learned along the way as a woman…. You shouldn’t feel like you have to give your body away to get someone to like you."

Ciara also has three-year-old son Future with her ex-partner Future.

Russell Wilson and Ciara have got a new pet dog.

The couple have opened their home up to a beautiful silver grey puppy who they hope will act as best friend to the children they raise together, son Future, three, and 10-month-old daughter Sienna.

Russell, 29, unveiled the majestic mutt on his Instagram account by posting a photograph of him cuddling the pooch to his 3.3 million followers.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback captioned the snap: "New Pup Alert!!! Welcome to the Wilson Family! [sic]"

Russell must be followed by an abundance of animal lovers as the photo has been liked almost 200,000 times.

The addition of a pet to the family is a further sign that the sportsman and Ciara, 32, are settling into domestic bliss since tying the knot in 2016.

The ‘Goodies’ hitmaker has made no secret of the fact that her husband Russell inspires her in life and gives her belief that she can achieve anything.

She said: "Love conquers all. Love is the most powerful force on Earth. You can’t go wrong if you put love in."

Previously paying tribute to Russell on Instagram, Ciara said of her man: "I love you so much … You inspire me … I am grateful for the man that you are to our house, the father that you are to our kids, the lover that you are. You inspire me to be better. You make me a better woman. I am a better woman because of you. You make me want to figure out ways to love in a way that I never knew I could but I sure want to try hard as heck to make you happy because you make me feel so good … You are the best to me."

Ciara thinks love is the "most powerful force on Earth".

The 32-year-old singer – who has son Future Zahir, three, with her ex-partner Future, and ten-month-old daughter Sienna with husband Russell Wilson – has revealed that regardless of the stresses and strains she faces in life, she believes that love can help her to overcome any problems.

She shared: "Love conquers all. Love is the most powerful force on Earth. You can’t go wrong if you put love in."

Ciara and Future were engaged in October 2013, but the celebrity couple called off their engagement amid acrimonious circumstances in August 2014.

The ‘Goodies’ hitmaker has subsequently found love again with the American football star, and Ciara has revealed that the pair own matching dog tags, which represent their roles as parents.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, she explained: "I have matching dog tags with my hubby. I got one for him for Father’s Day. It has the kids’ birth dates on it.

"I have one too, and it has the kids’ birth dates, and it’s very special to me as a mom."

In November last year, Ciara took to Instagram to share a sweet video message in honour of her husband’s 29th birthday, revealing she feels inspired by him.

In the clip, she explained: "I love you so much. I am so excited for this special day for you. It is your birthday, but I also hope you feel like every day is your birthday or at least it is my goal to love you that way. May this year be everything you hope for and more – everything that you work hard for and more, you work hard. And you inspire me.

"I am grateful for the man that you are to our house, the father that you are to our kids, the lover that you are. You inspire me to be better. You make me a better woman. I am a better woman because of you.

"You make me want to figure out ways to love in a way that I never knew I could but I sure want to try hard as heck to make you happy because you make me feel so good. I hope you feel all the love you make me feel on this special day. I love you."

Future was given $500,000 worth of bling for his birthday.

The rapper turned 34 on Monday (20.11.17) and celebrated the milestone last weekend at bar-and-restaurant The Forge in Miami, and his pal The Weeknd is said to have gifted him a Low Life pendant.

According to gossip website TMZ, the ‘Where Ya At’ hitmaker also received diamond-encrusted dog tags from his manager Ebonie Ward, and a Pluto pendant from Elliot Avianne of Avianne Jewelry in New York City, where all of his latest jewels were said to have been commissioned.

Young Scooter is said to have given his rapper pal a BMFBG piece, and the total value of the haul, including two rings gifted to him by members of his family, is reported to be around half a million dollars.

Earlier this week, Future’s former partner Ciara – who he has three-year-old son Future Zahir with – and her husband Russell Wilson visited Seattle Children’s Hospital.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback and his wife headed to the medical facility to visit two fans, Isaac and Logan, who were due to spend Thanksgiving (23.11.17) in hospital.

The couple sang a "transplant song" to Isaac, to the tune of ‘Happy Birthday To You’.

She wrote on Instagram: "BIG DAY! HAPPY TRANSPLANT DAY ISAAC!!! Praying For You Angel @DangeRussWilson @SeattleChildrens (sic)"

Future and Ciara previously got engaged in October 2013 but called it off in August 2014, three months after their son was born.

Ciara and Russell – who have a six-month-old daughter Sienna – tied the knot in July 2016 in Cheshire, England, just four months after he popped the question.
