Russell Wilson and Ciara: engagement news dominated Twitter

Ciara and Russell Wilson have announced their engagement and the announcement mirrors the age: the couple made known the engagement via a video, showing both at the beachside, with Russell kneeling and slipping the engagement ring in her finger.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback posted the video on Instagram on Friday while on a romantic getaway.

He wrote: ‘She said yes!!! Since Day 1 I knew you were the one. No Greater feeling… #TrueLove @Ciara’

Ciara then followed up by sharing a sweet photo of the magical moment when Russell proposed on bent knee as the sun went down in a riot of colours, writing: ‘I feel complete.’

I Feel Complete. ❤️
