Ciara is officially dating Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, and the couple has apparently decided to abstain from sex.

During an interview with Pastor Miles McPherson at San Diego's Rock Church on Sunday, Wilson confirmed his relationship with the I Can Do That star after months of speculation they're an item and also revealed some personal details about their romance.
"I said to her -- and she completely agreed -- 'Can we love each other without that?'" Wilson, 26, said in the interview, according to People. "If you can love somebody without that, then you can really love somebody."
Wilson then reportedly asked the audience to pray his relationship still thrives, although he was sort of joking around.
"I'm not going to lie, I need you all to pray for me," he noted.

Wilson was apparently smitten with Ciara, a 29-year-old singer and dancer, from the moment he first saw her.
"The funny thing is that I told somebody, 'That's the girl I want to be with' even before I met her," Wilson confessed to Pastor McPherson. "I said, 'I'm probably going to end up with Ciara.'"
The football player couldn't help but gush about his girlfriend.
She's "everything you could ever want, honestly" and "the most beautiful woman in the world, the most kind person, the most engaging person," Wilson explained, People reported.
"I knew that God had brought me into her life to bless her and for her to bless me."

Ciara is also very religious, according to Wilson, and their Christian beliefs and faith allowed them to move on from the pain of past failed relationships. Wilson divorced his high-school sweetheart, Ashton Meem, in April 2014.
NBC announced last week it's renewing I Can Do That, a new variety series that aired on Tuesday nights, for a second season. In addition to Ciara, Season 1 also starred Cheryl Burke, Nicole Scherzinger, Jeff Dye, Joe Jonas and Alan Ritchson. Scherzinger ended up walking away with the trophy.
I Can Do That features celebrities undergoing intense training each week with a new person or act in attempt to learn and master brand new skills for a big performance. In a friendly rivalry -- without judges or eliminations -- the celebrities showcase talents they didn't even know they had and try to earn the audience's votes for the show's point system.
