Russell Wilson isn't the only athlete in his family.
The Seahawks quarterback already has a Super Bowl title under his belt, but it seems the athletic genes have also been gifted to his sister, Anna. Wilson and his fiancée, R&B star Ciara, were recently on-hand to support Anna Wilson as she played in a big basketball game.
The couple, which announced their engagement last month, attended the McDonald's Girls All American game at the United Center in Chicago, according to Terez Owens. Anna is a standout basketball player for Bellevue High School in Washington..
Ciara took to Instagram to share a photo of her and her fiancé taking in the game:

Russell has gushed about his sister before, so it's no surprise he was in attendance to support her.
"A lot of people think we're identical, if not identical twins," Russell said in January via the Seattle Times. "I can speak about her. She's so dedicated, she's committed to her friends and family and she's just a special, special person. She's a person who always wants to give back, and that's what I love about her. There's no thing she cannot do, and that's inspiring to watch and be a part of."
Anna received a scholarship to Stanford, but it's not always easy being Russell's younger sister. Watching her brother win the Super Bowl and rack up two NFC championships and three Pro Bowl appearances can often put a lot of pressure on Anna.
"Since I could walk, I have lived in a dark space produced by a body that intercepts the light of my personal fulfillment," she wrote on her Stanford application via the Seattle Times. "My brother is the body, but he is not at fault. His fame and accomplishments unintentionally created the dark space composed of the inescapable expectation of onlookers. The dark space is his shadow in which I have lived."
As for Russell, his relationship with Ciara appears to be going strong as they continue to be inseparable during the offseason.
