Because They Have So Much Love For Each Other on Instagram

It feels like every week they are each other’s #MCM or #WCW (“Man Crush Monday” and “Woman Crush Wednesday” for all you non-Instagrammers). So it was no surprise that Ciara posted this pic of Russell yesterday, calling him her #MCM yet again. Adorable!

Because They Learn Together

Rule number one of a healthy relationship: Never stop learning, even if it’s something as simple as learning how to concoct your fave Starbucks drink. “Thanks @Starbucks team for showing me and @DangeRussWilson how to make our own caramel frappuccinos!” Ciara captioned this photo.

Because They Are Down to Earth

You gotta do what you gotta do. Even though one is a Grammy-nominated singer and the other is an NFL star quarterback, Ciara and Russell aren’t above hitching a ride with some local police officers.
